Our Statement Of Faith
- Scripture - We sincerely believe the whole bible is the true word of God and there are no mistakes with God. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2nd Tim. 3:16). We believe the scripture is the infallible word of God written by men
- Scripture - We sincerely believe the whole bible is the true word of God and there are no mistakes with God. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2nd Tim. 3:16). We believe the scripture is the infallible word of God written by men under the Holy Spirits’ control. “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of men: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2nd Peter. 1:20-21). The scripture is not just another book, it is the very word of Almighty God and is alive and active, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piecing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit , and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Heb.4:12).
- Godhead - We believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit to be three persons in one from eternity. “And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness: …” (Gen. 1:26a). I also believe Jesus Christ is God in flesh. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God” (John. 1:1-2). “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John.1:14).
- Man - We believe man sinned when he chose to disobey God’s orders and as a result, all mankind has inherit the sin of Adam. “But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die” (Gen. 3:3). Because of Adam’s sin, all human beings are born sinners. “Wherefore, as by one man’s sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: “(Rom.5:12). “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Rom.3:23).
- Salvation - We believe the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus Christ is the only salvation for mankind, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts. 4:12). Also, because we are all born in sin we need God’s forgiveness through the shed blood of Jesus, “Jesus answered and said unto him,Verily, verily, l say unto thee, Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John.3:3). Furthermore, the Bible undoubtedly teaches that our salvation comes only by putting our faith in the finished work of Christ Jesus on the cross without adding any good deeds , “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life,” (John. 3:16). No good deeds required salvation, “ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2:8-9). And because my salvation in Christ Jesus is forever, l will never get lost for any reason. “ All that Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me l will in no wise cast out” (John. 6:37).
- Christian Living - The Bible certainly teaches that the child of God, who already have the Holy Spirit indwelling him or her at the moment of believe, should allow the word of God to transform his or her mind. “ I beseech therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of God” (Rom. 12:1-2). As a child of God, the love of God should be my sole motivation for doing good works for my heavenly Father’s glory. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath ordained that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:10). The Bible has surely given us the antidote to help us live a Godly live. “This l say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would”(Gal. 5:16-17).
- Church - The Bible definitely teaches that the church is an organism belonging to the Lord, anyone who has but their complete faith in Christ Jesus. A body of believers in a local assembly who come together for the purpose of learning and sharing the word of God and the spiritual gifts which has been given for the edification of the church. “ And when they were come, and they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles” (Acts. 14:27).
- Future - The Bible undoubtedly teaches that Christ Jesus is coming back again in the flesh. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so , l would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if l go and prepared a place for you, l will come again , and receive you unto myself; that where l am , there ye may me also” (John. 14:1-3). Since Christ Jesus came back from the dead in the bodily form and was seen by his disciples even and about five hundred others, even so those who have fallen asleep before His return still have hope in Christ’ resurrection. “But l would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words” (1st Thess. 13-18).
- Angels - WE believe the Bible teaches that angels are messengers “ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Heb. 1:14). They are ministering spirits created by God to worship him. “And again when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire”(Heb.1:6-7). I do not believe the Bible teaches that we should worship angels. But l certainly believe God sends the angels to accomplish His purpose. “Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word” (Psalm.103:20). And l sincerely believe sometimes God sends the angels to assist us in dire situations.
