"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life" - John 5:24 (NIV)
Statement of Faith
WE BELIEVE the Scripture, the Bible, both Old and New Testament, is the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God. The Scripture is our supreme and final authority in all matters of life, faith, doctrine, and conduct for all Christian. It is the complete revelation of His will and redemptive plan for the salvation of humankind. (2 Timothy 3:15‐17; 2 Peter 1:21; Hebrews 4:12; Psalm 19:7‐8; Matthew 5:17‐18)
About our faith in God
WE BELIEVE that there is only one sovereign God, living and true God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is perfect, holy, personal spirit, infinite, gracious, righteous, just, merciful, compassionate, and forgiving God, source of life, source and author of eternal salvation, author of our faith, and eternally existent revealed in three Persons: the Father, the Son (our Lord Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit; co equal and in unity. (Deut 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Hebrews 5:9; Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; Psalm 116:5; Jeremiah 10:10; Psalm 33:6‐9; 2 Cor 13:14; 1 Timothy 1:17; John 3:16; John 4:8; Jeremiah 32:17‐19; Romans 5:8; 11:33‐36 )
About our faith in Jesus Christ
WE BELIEVE that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Word of God, God and came in a form of man, the son of God, fully God and fully man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary; He lived a sinless life and died on the cross, shedding His blood as the only acceptable sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins; He rose again in bodily form from the dead, ascended into heaven where He seated at the right hand of God, He now sits as our High Priest and Advocate; and He will return to earth in full power and glory. (John 1:1‐3, 14; 3:16; 20:28‐29; Hebrews 1:1‐3; 1 Timothy 3:16; Phil 2:5‐11; Matt 1:18‐23; 1 Cor 15:3‐4; 1 Timothy 2:5; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 2:9‐10, 17; 4:14‐16; 10:10‐12; 1 Thess. 4:16‐17; Rev 1:8)
About the Holy Spirit
WE BELIEVE in God the Holy Spirit, sent forth from the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, whose ministry is to glorify the Lord; came to convict humanity of their sin; teach, guide, instruct, and lead those who believe in the Lord; experience a new life led by the spirit of God from the spiritual rebirth, a born again experience where the Holy Spirit indwell, sanctify, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living, leading, service, and fulfilling God’s purpose in their lives. (John 14:16‐17, 26; 16:7‐15; 1 Corinthians 2:9‐16; 3:16; Acts 1:8)
About Salvation and Mission
WE BELIEVE that we are created in the image of God but fell into sin, by nature and choice are sinners and under condemnation, we are separated from God and spiritually dead. Without God’s intervention no one will get saved. (Genesis 1:26‐27; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23; 5:12, 18‐19; John 3:17‐18)
WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of the dead. Those believers to a glorified, and eternal life in heaven with the Lord, but unbelievers to judgment and eternal punishment. (Acts 24:14‐15; 1 Cor 15:20‐22; 51‐58; 1 Thess 4:13‐18; Heb 9:27; 2 Cor 5:10; Matt 25:31‐46; Rev 20:10‐22:7)
WE BELIEVE that salvation is an act of God and from God, initiated by God and is a free gift from God; that a sinner is saved by grace through faith, wholly apart from any human merit; that all who believe in Jesus Christ and His atoning work on the cross, receiving Him through faith, in genuine repentance, confessing Him as both Savior and Lord will be saved. (Psalm 3:8; 62:1; Rev. 7:10; Acts 4:12; John 1:12; Romans 1:16; 3:21‐26; 6:23; 10:9‐10; Ephesians 2:8‐9; Titus 3:5‐7)
WE BELIEVE that the Word of God is true, unchanging, powerful and committed to save those who genuinely believe in Him and accepted Him as Lord and Savior is assured of Salvation, sealed and marked by the Holy Spirit and you cannot lose it. A born again Christian is justified, and sanctified, possessed the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, leading and guidance. A true and genuine born again Christian cannot be undone, eternal life cannot be temporary, God cannot backtrack and withdraw His Word and God cannot lie. It is man’s part and responsibility if he is in the faith and genuine to what he claim.
WE BELIEVE that water baptism by means of full immersion, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances for believers, commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ, which are intended to be observed by the Church during this present age. (Matthew 26:26‐28; 28:19‐20; 1 Corinthians 11:23‐26)
WE BELIEVE in the one true and holy Church consisting of born‐again believers from all nations called by God who have been regenerated by their faith in Christ and united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head; who gather together in fellowships for worship and edification and whose mission is to reach‐out to the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 10:24‐25; Romans 12:4‐10; Eph 1:22‐23)
