   WHERE WE STAND
  • We believe that the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired of God, error-free in the original writings, and the supreme authority of faith and practice for the believer in Jesus Christ. We further believe that the authors of Scripture meant what they said. So we need to consistently apply the rules of grammar, literature, history and culture in order to unlock and understand the author’s meaning.
  • We believe there is but one living and true God, who is one in essence, while eternally existing in three distinct personalities: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Though each person of Godhead possesses the same nature, each functions differently in respect to God’s dealings with man.
  • The first Person of Trinity, the Father, orders and directs all things according to His own purpose, pleasure and grace. He has decreed all things that come to pass for His own glory. He graciously involves Himself in the affairs of men, hears and answers prayer, and save from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
  • Jesus Christ is both the eternal Son of God and virgin-born Son of man. Fully God and fully man He surrendered nothing of His deity during His earthly life. Having led a sinless life, He satisfied the Father’s justice concerning sin by His death. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His physical ascension, and His visible return to this earth to establish His earthly kingdom.
  • The third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, executes the will of God in the world of men. It is the Holy Spirit who applies the salvation Jesus Christ secured through His death on the cross. It is the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgement. It is the Holy Spirit who empowers the Church to live a lifestyle pleasing to God, endowing it with special gifts which equip believers to accomplish distinct ministries, planned beforehand by God the Father.
  • We believe that man was directly created in the image of God to enjoy His fellowship and to fulfill God’s will on this earth. Man fell into sin by a voluntary act of personal disobedience to the will of God; consequently all men are spiritually dead and subject to the certainty of both physical and spiritual death apart from Jesus Christ. The fall of man was a once-for-all historical fact. Its spiritually deadening effect spread to all men, each of whom is born with a sinful nature and sins habitually in thought, word and deed.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins as the only sufficient sacrifice. All who believe in Him are declared justified by the Father on the grounds of Jesus’ death and resurrection. All who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by grace through faith have been regenerated by, and baptized in the Holy Spirit. They are thereby the children of God forever and members in the one true Church, the Body of Christ. This salvation result in righteous living and good works as the believer submits his life to the Word of God and the direction of the Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that all who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit belong to the one true church and are directed by the Scriptures to associate themselves in local, visible churches. The local church is the only visible representation of Christ’s invisible church and consists only of regenerated believers. The local church is autonomous in its relationship. The two-fold purpose of the church is to lead men to Christ and mature them in the faith.
  • We believe that the next great event of human history will be the personal return of Jesus Christ. This is the blessed hope, which all those who love Jesus Christ yearn for. Though the time of Christ’s return is a mystery known only to the Father Himself, we believe that is as sure we believe Jesus’ first coming was fact.
  • We believe that baptism and Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances of the church. Baptism is an essential “first step” for a believer who seeks to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial of Christ and His redemptive death, and secondly an expression of our fellowship with one another.
