WE BELIEVE..............

1. The Holy Bible: We accept the sacred words of the 66 Books of the Bible as the inspired revelation of God, as the sheet anchor of Faith and Eternal Hope, and as the basic creed of the church and the only standard of life for the believer.

2. God: The Eternal, True and Holy Trinity is one God existing in three personalities-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3. Man: The creation of man was in the likeness of God, that he had a great fall when he transgressed God's commandment and that only Christ the Son of God can restore the Fallen Man to his Pristine glory

4. Repentance: The fallen man should approach God with true repentance for sins and faith in the atoning death of Jesus Christ.

5. Justification: The man is justified by faith alone and that guilt is pardoned by the Blood of Christ only.

6. Regeneration: The man is born again of God through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

7. Water Baptism: In order to become one in Christ a believer should be baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit by immersion in water and thus become part-takers of the burial and resurrection of Christ.

8. Separation: The believer should be separated from sin, sinners, false doctrines and all kinds of worship contrary to the 'Bible.

9. Lord's Supper: The Lord's Supper is to be celebrated regularly till He comes, to commemorate the death of Christ.

10. Baptism in the Holy Spirit: The believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit: The initial sign of speaking in tongues follows the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and that this speaking in tongues though the same in essence is different in its use and operation from that of the gift of tongues

11. Divine Healing: Since temporal healing is included in the Sacrifice on the cross by Christ for atonement of sins, a believer can get bodily healing by prayer and faith.
12. Sanctification: The believer is sanctified by the Blood of Jesus, by the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit.

13. The Church: The church is the congregation of believers; its faith and experience should confirm to and stand steadfast in the teaching of the apostles in the New Testament. The universal church is the congregation of all born again believers. Apart from local congregations, no organization on earth represents the true church.

14. The Ministry: The ministers of the church such as Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors (Bishops), Teachers and Deacons must be those who are called by the Holy Spirit, bestowed with gifts according to their different calling. There must be deacons & deaconesses in each local church and the Pastor (Bishop) must be their overseer.

15. Ordination: For those who are specially set apart for ministry of the church, ordination should be by the laying on of hands by the elders of the local church, as in the New Testament, not by the leaders of any organization.

16. Evangelization: Evangelization is the supreme duty and privilege of the church, not of any organization.

17.Second Coming of Christ: Jesus is coming soon in the air and that the Bride will be caught up when Jesus comes.

18. Great Tribulation: There is to be a great tribulation on the earth when Anti-Christ will be in his power soon after the coming of Christ in the air, and the Rapture of the Bride.

19. The millennium: At the end of the tribulation Jesus will come to the earth in all His glory with His saints and establish His own kingdom of Righteousness for a thousand years.

20. The Great Judgment: After the Millennium, Satan and his hosts will be cast for ever into the lake of fire and there will be judgment before the Great White Throne for all the wicked who also will meet the same punishment.

21. New Heaven and New Earth: After the great judgment this present earth and heaven will be burned up with fire and a New Heaven and a New Earth will appear.
