Statement of Faith
This is a page that people looks for at first when they come across a ministry or website. Listed below are the Bible based beliefs that a believer or "child of God" who is often called a Christian must hold.Christian Beliefs:
- We believe in one true God Almighty - The Holy One of Abraham, Issac and Jacob - the Father who created everything, who manifested Himself in Jesus Christ and indwells the believer as the Holy Spirit today.
- We believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit and the final authority for salvation and spiritual living.
- We believe that any other source is of the evil one and condemns the practice of any form of mediums or spirits like astrology, signs, timings and occults.
- We believe that the Gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again!
- We believe that we partake of the gospel by repentance [dying to sin], baptism in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ [burial], and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) [resurrection], thereby reconciling to God and is the Only Way to attain it.
- The process of reconciling to God is called salvation and is received by grace through faith alone. No human deed can attain this since it has been achieved by Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead.
- We believe that believers walk in the Spirit, will live a life of inward holiness which will manifest itself outwardly in love, joy, peace and godliness.
- We believe that the body of Christ is the church and Jesus Christ is its head.
- We believe that the five-fold ministry is still at work today: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers till the return of Christ to receive His church.
- We believe in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit and that God performs them in the church today.
- We believe that Jesus Christ will return to receive His church.
- We believe that there will be a final resurrection and a final judgement, in which the righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death.
