  Our Beliefs
  Pastor Mark preach in church
  Summarised doctrinal statements
 
 
The Bible
We believe in the inspiration and infallibility of the Old and New Testaments. The Bible is the standard of faith as well as the absolute truth for every aspect in a believer's life.
 
God
We believe in the one true and eternal God, the Creator of everything who has revealed Himself as the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whose roles are distinguishable but who are indivisible.
 
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God incarnate, born of a virgin and completely sinless. He died on the cross to bring redemption for men and was resurrected on the third day. In the same way that He physically ascended to heaven, He will return a second time to fully establish the kingdom of God.
 
Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God, convicting men of sin and bringing new birth, living in every believer to enable them to walk in holiness. He still enables the operation of all spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible today. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a distinct experience to salvation and in speaking in tongues as the initial evidence of the baptism.
 
Man
We believe that Adam and Eve was created sinless but they intentionally sinned, causing all humans to fall under the power of sin and thus under the judgement of God.
 
Salvation
We believe that all can be saved by the grace of God as one puts his trust in Jesus Christ's redemptive work on the cross, and not by one's own works.
 
Angels and Evil Spirits
We believe that God created all angels without sin but Lucifer intentionally sinned and caused some angels to follow him in sin.
 
The Church
We believe in the universal church, composed of all who trust in Christ throughout every age.
 
Water Baptism
We believe in water baptism by immersion of born again believers as a symbolic identification with the death and resurrection of Christ.
 
Divine Healing
We believe that it is usually God's will to heal Christians. This may occur supernaturally or through the use of medicine.
 
Worship Service
We believe that Christians should worship God in spirit and in truth, according to biblical patterns as revealed in Scriptures.
 
Eternal Judgement
We believe that every person will rise from the dead on the last day. Believers will live with God in heaven and will be eternally blessed. Those who do not believe will be judged and receive eternal punishment in hell.
