Beliefs

Our Confession of Faith

We Believe Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God. He died on the cross and was risen back to life on the third day for the remission of sins. No person goes to heaven unless they accept within their heart Jesus Christ as their Lord and saviour. Jesus Christ ascended back to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. We accept the one true God The Father, His Son Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit.

Baptism in Water and Holy Spirit

We baptise in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19). All baptism in the name of Jesus will be done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 22:16 ‘And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.’
John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

Word of God

The Bible is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice. (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:15–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21) Redemptive truth is set forth in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, which is God’s written revelation to man, verbally inspired and inerrant in the original manuscripts.

Prayer and Fasting

Jesus expects his disciples to pray and pray regularly, and explains how to do it. Jesus expects us to fast, the same way as he expects us to pray. Jesus puts praying and fasting on the same level. In Matthew 6:5-6 Jesus says: “And when you pray, you shall not be like hypocrites. (…)But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father, who is in the secret place (…)” In Matthew 6:16 Jesus says “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites (…) but you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men be fasting, but to your Father (…)” .One of the purposes of fasting is God’s appointed way to humble ourselves. The greatest barrier to receive answer to our prayers is pride and choosing to fast helps us humble ourselves. Humility is one of the conditions for affective prayer as “God resists the proud”. Psalms 35:13 David said: “I humbled my soul with fasting” – the reason we need to humble our soul because soul is our arrogant part – and to deal with our soul we need to humble ourselves and follow God’s will – fasting is one of the ways to humble ourselves.
(Luke 14:11;James 4:10, 1 Peter 5:5-6)

The Gifts of Holy Spirit

Nine gifts of Holy Spirit are listed in 1 Corinthians 12:8–10. In literal translation: 1. A word of wisdom; 2. a word of knowledge; 3. Faith; 4. Gifts of healings; 5. Workings of miracles (literally, powers); 6. Prophecy; 7. Discerning of spirits; 8. Kinds of tongues; 9. Interpretation of tongues. All these gifts are “manifestations.” – the Holy Spirit Himself through these gifts manifests Himself in us. All of them gifts are “for the profit of all”, they all serve some practical purpose, through these gifts Christians can minister to one another. It must be emphasized that all these are gifts of God’s grace, we can never “earn” them, they are received by faith.

Spiritual Warfare

Finite supernatural personal beings exist, including unfallen angels, fallen angels and demons. Satan, the leader of fallen angels, is the open and declared enemy of God and man, and is doomed to the Lake of Fire. (Hebrews 1:4–14; Jude 6; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10)

Resurrection

There will be a bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved to eternal life, and they that are lost to eternal damnation. (1 Corinthians 15; Daniel 12:1–2; John 5:28–29; 2 Thessalonians 1:7; Matthew 5:1–10)

Worshiping God

Worship is direct, intimate, personal communion with our Creator, is scope of activities with which it is appropriate to worship God. In worship, we do not focus on ourselves, or our experiences, but on God. Almighty God is seeking true worshipers in spirit to worship Him. “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him”(John 4:23). In the Bible we read that men of God worshipped him by bowing head (Genesis 24:26; Exodus 4:31) lifting hands (Psalms 63:4; Psalms 141:2), Clapping Hands (Psalms 47:1-2) Kneeling down (2 Chronicles 6:12–13) dancing (2 Samuel 6:12-14) Ultimately the whole universe will make this act of submission to the Creator. In Isaiah 45:23; Philippians 2:10 “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…”.
