The BIBLE is infallible in its declaration, final in its authority, all sufficient in the provisions and comprehensive in its sufficiency. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21). (2) THE ONE TRUE GOD: We believe in the existence of the one true God, Elohim, maker of the whole universe: indefinable, but revealed as the Triune Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – one in nature, essence and attributes ,
Omnipotent , Omniscient and Omnipresent. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 3:16 -17: 2 Corinthians 13:14, Matthew 28:19, Genesis 1:26). (3) MAN’S DEPRAVED NATURE: We believe that “all men have sinned and come short of the Glory of the God”; and are subject to eternal punishment “and need repentance and regeneration.” (Genesis 3:1-19, Isaiah 53:6). (4) THE SAVIOUR : We believe man’s need of a saviour has been met in the person of CHRIST JESUS because of his deity , virgin birth , sinless life , atoning death , resurrection and ascension , His abiding intercession and second coming (John 8:46, John 14:30, Colossians 1:15, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Romans 3:25, Acts 2:36, Philippians 2:9-11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Revelations 22:20). (5) REPENTANCE, JUSTIFICATION, SANCTIFICATION: We believe all men have to repent of and confess their sins before God, and believe on the vicarious death of Christ Jesus before they can be justified before God. We believe in the sanctification of the believer through the working of the Holy Spirit, and in God’s gift of eternal life to the believer. (Acts 2:28, Luke 15:7, Romans 4:25, Romans 5:16, 1 Corinthians 1:3, 1 Thessalonians 4:3). (6) THE ORDINANCE OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER: We believe in the sacrament of baptism by immersion as a testimony of a convert who has attained a responsible age of, say, fifteen (15) years (Luke 3:21, Mark 16:16). (Infants and children are not baptized but are dedicated to the Lord); (Luke 2:22-34, Mark 10:16). We believe in the sacrament of the Lord‘s Supper, which should be partaken by all members who are in full fellowship. (Luke 2:19-20; Matthew 26:21-29, Acts 27). (7) BAPTISM, GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers signs following : and in the operation of the gifts and the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers (1 Corinthians 12:8-11, Mark 16:17, Acts 2:24). (8) NEXT LIFE: We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved. They that are saved to the resurrection of life and the unsaved to the resurrection unto damnation. (John 5:28-29, Daniel 12:2, Romans 2:7, Romans 6:23, John 1:1-2). (9) TITHES AND OFFERINGS: We believe in the tithing and in the giving of freewill offerings towards the cause of the carrying forward the kingdom of God. We believe that God blesses a cheerful giver (Malachi 3:10, Hebrew 7:1-4, Luke 6:38, Acts 20:35). AIMS
