Our confession of faith
This confession of faith is that of all the Protestant and Evangelical Churches of Jesus Christ (forming the body of Christ), through time and the world, whom we believe and are affiliated. The true God
We worship one God who exists in three persons from eternity: the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit. While fully sharing the same unique divine nature, the three persons remain distinct and separate roles are appropriate to them. The Father eternally communicates being and life to the Son. The Spirit receives eternal being and the life of the Father and the Son. Father conceives the divine projects and performs his works for creation by the mediation of the Son. The Father and the Son are present in the world and act there by the Spirit.
2. Jesus Christ and his work
We believe that Jesus Christ is the unique and eternal Son of God and became man for our salvation. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary, he is both truly man and truly God. He is the Messiah promised by the prophets. While having voluntarily lowered, the Son of God manifested an entire perfection in the field of truth and in the area of the property. Tempted like us in all things, he remained perfectly holy. Having received the Holy Spirit for his ministry, he traveled the country to Israel to bring its teaching and perform many miracles attesting the divine origin of his mission. In his life and in his death he has fully fulfilled the will of God expressed his thought and manifested the immensity of his love. We believe that Jesus Christ willingly suffered and died on the cross. To satisfy divine justice, he offered his life atoning sacrifice for sinners and has been for them the punishment they deserved. We believe that Jesus Christ was bodily resurrected and he was raised to heaven. He sits at the right hand of the Father and sharing his glory. He pleads with him to his own; He will come to take them with him to establish the kingdom of God in all his glory. He is the only mediator between God and men. He shall judge the living and the dead. He is the Savior and Lord.
3- The Holy Spirit and his action in the Christian life
We believe the Holy Spirit, divine person is one with the Father and the Son. It is given to every believer and comes to dwell within him when it is united to Christ by faith. Its mission is to bring the believer to the benefit of Christ's work of salvation. It usually comes from Scripture, with which it can not disagree: he worked in the believer's heart for him to understand it, receive it with faith and submit it. It produces fruit in him; it enables him to advance in the Christian life and endure to the end. Relying on his work in him, the Christian tries to live his life according to God's will. Under its action, and equipped by him with his gifts, every Christian is called to put themselves in service to others in the Church and in the world depending on the particular purpose of God for him. The Spirit alone can make the believer's communion with his God and with his brothers.
4.The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and as such it has a full and complete authority. It is the only infallible rule of faith and life. The revelation it gives us can not be modified or supplemented by any other. We believe the Holy Spirit has sovereignly governed the origin and formation of the sixty-six books of the Bible Code. We believe in himself and provided the perfect teaching the whole truth even in its detail. Through plenary inspiration they benefited, the human authors of the Bible have given us the Word of God. Without ceasing to be a human word, bearing the marks of its historical insertion. Sacred Scripture was written without error in the original manuscripts, expressed with perfect fidelity that God wanted us to say. We believe that the Bible is fully sufficient to prove what we have to know in order to attain salvation, to live according to God and find our joy in him. We believe that the purpose of the interpretation of Scripture is to determine the meaning and the message intended by its authors. The Bible was written in human language and must be interpreted according to the normal conventions of language and respect the thematic diversity and literary in its midst. Each text should be interpreted in line with the rest of Scripture.
4- The Church
We believe that God wanted him to create a new humanity, called to worship it, and including all who have been regenerated and reconciled to him through Christ. To this end, he founded the Pentecostal church the day, in fulfillment of the promise made to Abraham. She is the community of all those who, from all people, put their faith in Jesus Christ by providing adherence to the teaching of the apostles. The Holy Spirit unites these believers to Christ and to each other to form as one body. We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and the only head of the Church. He feeds his Word, the led by his Spirit and raises him to various departments that fulfills its missions. He will appear in its fullness and its final perfection at the renewal of all things. He currently gives it the mandate to proclaim the Gospel to all nations and make disciples among them. We believe the local church is called to manifest its extent, the reality of the Body of Christ. It is a community of believers born of the Spirit, who, recognizing their weaknesses, want to live to the glory of God. It is the duty of every local church and every Christian to preserve the unity which the Spirit produces between true believers, for the honor of their Lord.
5- Living by God's will
We believe that the Christian is called to lead his life and perform every act in love for God and neighbor, in obedience to Scripture and to the glory of God. It will do so by relying on the work of the Spirit in him. Live according to God's will and seek the good in all things are the expression of gratitude for the salvation of the believer that God grant him by grace, under the work of Christ. Obedience to God comes from confidence in him. Remaining below perfection, the believer remains dependent on the forgiveness of God throughout his life. We believe that God commands us to respect the human person from conception until his death, and the preservation of the dignity of every human being. We believe that God requires the preservation of the integrity of the family unit. Marriage between a man and a woman, is from the beginning of mankind, a divine institution. It includes a joint commitment, endorsed by society, to live a life together in mutual love and fidelity in an exclusive for the entire time they both remain alive. God calls us to ensure the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our family members that we have a responsibility. We believe that God commands us to respect other people's property and reliability in our words. He calls us to promote social justice and care for creation. He addresses each one a vocation to serve by his work in its means while setting aside time for personal and community piety. Political authority is a divine institution, the Christian must submit to those who have the responsibility to exercise it and pray for them, reserving to God alone absolute allegiance.
7- The resurrection, the final judgment and eternity
We believe that all the dead will rise, the just and the unjust. We believe in the final judgment by which God manifests His perfect justice by rewarding each according to his works. Those who have persevered in disbelief will suffer in a state of conscious existence, eternal punishment they have deserved. Under the grace they have received by faith, the redeemed will enjoy eternal glory in the presence of their Savior. Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior
