The Bible

The Old and New Testaments are God-inspired writings from God to man. The Bible is the infallible and authoritative rule of faith and conduct for mankind (2 Timothy 3:15-17), (1 Thessalonians 2:13).

God

Comprising Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The mystery of the trinity is the one true God, who is three persons in complete unity and oneness.  (Genesis 1:26), (Deuteronomy 6:4), (Matthew 3:16-17), (John 14), Matthew 28:19).

The Lord Jesus Christ

His humanity, deity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death for the sins of the world, resurrection for our justification, ascension to the Father’s right hand and personal return to reign upon earth.

The Fall of Man

Man was created in God’s image. The first humans, tempted by satan, chose to disobey God. This disobedience brought sin and shame into the world and resulted in spiritual death and the process of physical death for every person. God sent them out of paradise with the curse of hardship and struggle but also with the promise of a future savior who would redeem them from their fallen state. Apart from the promised savior all humanity is an enemy of God and condemned by their sin. (Genesis 2:26), (Genesis 3:6), (Genesis 3:15), (Romans 5:12-14).

Salvation of Man

Jesus is the savior that came to redeem humanity from from sin, shame, and the devil. Salvation is the miracle of grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing a born again person and new life by the power of the Holy Spirit. The born again believer is promised a future resurrection to eternal life with God.  (John 1:9-10), (Ephesians 2:4-10), (1 Peter 1:3-4).

Water Baptism

Commanded by Jesus for all who believe in Him. A powerful symbol of new life in Jesus. Everyone baptized is immersed in water and baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

The Lords Supper

Celebrated regularly by the church as a remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26: 26-29), (1 Corinthians 23-26).

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

An experience separate from salvation where God the Holy Spirit comes upon a person in a new way to empower them for life and ministry (John 1:33), (Acts 1:8), (Acts 2), (Acts 44-48).

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

The supernatural giftings of the Holy Spirit are given for building up of the body of Christ, through discipleship within the church and witness to the world (Romans 12:6-8), (1 Corinthians 12-14), (Galatians 5:22-25), (Ephesians 4:8-13).

The Church

Comprising all born again believers of all nations and denominations under the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 16:14-20), (Revelations 7:9)

Bible prophecy

Its fulfillment in actual world events, heralding the climax of this age and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
