The Godhead
I believe in the Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – one God who exists eternally as a communion of three Beings, or Persons (Matthew 3:13-17; Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Peter 1:1-2).
God the Father
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible (Genesis 1-2; Isaiah 45:18; Psalm 104; Jeremiah 10:10-12; Acts 17:22-31).
God the Son
I believe in Jesus Christ the Lord and Son of God, fully God and fully man, who for us and for our salvation took on flesh and was born of the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit.
I believe that Jesus died for all of humanity according to the Scriptures. That he was buried, that on the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, that he ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father, and that he will return in glory to judge the living and the dead (Isaiah 9:1-7; Isaiah 53; John 1:1-18; Matthew 1; Romans 1:2-4; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-4; 1 Corinthians 15:1-11).
God the Holy Spirit
I believe in the Holy Spirit, who together with the Father and Son is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets and inspired the Scriptures, who indwells and empowers believers, and who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment (Genesis 1:1-2; Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2; John 14-16; Romans 8; 1 Corinthians 12-14; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Galatians 5:16-26).
The Scriptures
I believe in the Holy Scriptures as the inspired, infallible, and authoritative written Word of God (John 5:37-40; Romans 1:1-2; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Peter 1:16-21).
Sin
I believe that all people are sinners separated from God who stand in need of God’s redeeming grace (Romans 6:23; Isaiah 59:1-2; Genesis 3; Psalm 51; Romans 1:18-3:20).
Salvation
I believe that repentance is required by every human which is the conscious and genuine decision to turn away from sins and to follow Jesus Christ. This allows one to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. It is through repentance that one receives salvation and forgiveness for one’s sins, by God’s grace through faith in Christ (Matt 4:17; Mark 1:15; Mark 16: 15-16; Acts 2:38; Ephesians 2:8-9).
While a believer’s Salvation occurs at the time of conversion, the Bible teaches that it can be squandered in the ongoing commission of sins in the absence of repentance as well as doing God’s Will. Doing God’s Will is the ongoing ‘test’ for entry into Heaven (John 10:27-28; Mark 1:14-15; Matthew 28:16-20; John 3:16-21; John 14:1-11; Acts 2-3; Romans 3:21-25; Romans 6:1-4; Romans 10:5-13; 1 Peter 3:18-22; Matt 18:1-3; 1 Cor 6:9-11; Luke 13:1-5; Hebrews 10:26-27).
The Church
I believe in one non-denominational Church, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets (Matthew 16:13-20; Luke 22:14-23; Acts 2; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 2; 1 Peter 2:1-12; Revelation 7:9-12; 19:6-10).
Evangelism
I believe that the mission of the church flows from the Commission of God to redeem and restore His creation. All believers are called to evangelise, and to make disciples of all nations, baptising (immersing) them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching all to obey Jesus in all things (Genesis 12:1-3; Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-20; Luke 24:36-49; John 20:19-23; Acts 1:1-8; 2 Corinthians 5:11-21).
Water Baptism
I believe that water baptism is a Command to be done by every member of the church. It is not to be regarded as the actual ‘means’ itself of how a person is regenerated, but it is a formal and outward representation of one’s new life in Christ, proclaiming the work of Christ in one’s death, burial and resurrection unto new life.
The Bible reveals that water baptism is an essential requirement symbolising the regenerative work of Christ in a believer. As the command is a symbol tied to Salvation (Mark 16:16), a believer must undertake it otherwise Salvation cannot be maintained because of disobeying the command. However, if a believer does not have a genuine opportunity or ability to do it then such is exempted from doing so (Matthew 3:13-17; 28:16-20; John 3:3-8; Acts 2:28-39; Romans 6:1-14; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:18-22; Luke 23:32-43).
Communion
I believe in the practice of Communion in which bread and wine, symbolising Jesus’ body and blood, are shared in remembrance of Christ and to proclaim His death until He returns. Communion is to be done regularly by the Church (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:15-20; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; 11:20-26)
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
I believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit which is distinct from the “new birth” experience at Salvation. God in His wisdom may reveal whatever type of ‘evidence’ of the baptism, speaking in other tongues being an evidence for some though not all believers as God sees fit.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit was not only for the early disciples but continues for generations to come and is a supernatural gift for all believers. The purpose of it is to supernaturally empower the effective witness of Christ’s followers (Joel 2:32; Acts 1:8, 2:1-4; 2:36-39; 8:15-19; 9:17-19; 10:44-47; 19:1-7; Luke 24:49; John 7:37-39).
The Resurrection
I believe that at the end of the age, Jesus Christ will return bodily to earth in the clouds and all people, righteous and unrighteous, will rise bodily from the dead. For the former, it will be a resurrection into reward and Life with God forever in Eternal Life; for the latter, it will be a resurrection unto damnation and separation from God, in the abode of Hell forever (Isaiah 65:17-25; Isaiah 26:19; 66:15-25; Daniel 12:2-3; Matthew 25; John 5:25-29; 6:39-40; 1 Corinthians 15; Philippians 3:21; Hebrews 9:27-28; Revelation 20-22).
