Missions to the World - Statement of Faith

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, in Whom we live and move and have our being.

Relating to this beautiful truth are the following basic truths by which we live:

~~~~

The verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of Sacred Scriptures as originally given. (II Timothy 3:16; I Corinthians 2:13)

The Trinity of the Godhead. (Matthew 28:10; Colossians 2:9)

The Creation, Test and Fall of man, as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to Divine Righteousness. (Romans 5:12)

The Saviour of men, the Lord Jesus Christ, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man. (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 9:6)

Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to the disciples. (I Corinthians 15;1-4; Romans 4:25)

Salvation of sinners by grace through faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12; Romans 5:11)

Baptism of the repentant believer in water, a holy act commanded by God’s Word. In this act of obedience and faith, the believer is identifying with the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Colossians 2:11-12)

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit should ardently be expected to be received by each believer upon conversion; being born again. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowal of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. (Luke 24:49; Ephesians 4:11-13; Acts 1:4-8)

Sanctification: Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 6:1-11, 13; 8:1,2,13; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 2:12; I Peter 1:5)

The healing of the body by Divine Power, or Divine Healing in its many aspects as practiced by the early church. (Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14; Matthew 8:17; I Peter 2:24; Mark 16:17-20)

The Lord’s Memorial, commonly called The Lord’s Supper, for believers. (I Corinthians 11:12-32)

The bodily Ascension of Jesus to Heaven, His exaltation, and His personal coming for His Church. (John 14:2-3; I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

The Eternal Life of the believer (John 3:16) and the Eternal Punishment of the unbeliever (Mark 9:43-58; II Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:10-15; John 3:18; Romans 6:23)

The reality and personality of satan, enemy of our God and His Church. (Job 1:7; II Corinthians 11:14; Ephesians 4:27; James 4:7)

The Power and God-willed victory over satan for the believer in every situation of life. (Luke 10:19; John 10:10; Ephesians 6:10-17)
