GOD
There is one God, existent in three persons
- The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; John 1: 1,14; John
14:16; Acts 1:8)
SCRIPTURES
The Bible, Old
and New Testaments are the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God; it
is supreme and all sufficient in all matters of faith and practice.
(2Tim
3:16-17)
THE GRACE OF GOD
God out of His
love for man gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to be the Saviour of sinners,
and through the Gospel freely offers His all-sufficient salvation to all
men.
(John 3:16)
SIN AND REDEMPTION
Man
was created good and upright, in the likeness and image of God, but through his
voluntary disobedience he sinned, and now has as his only hope of redemption,
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Acts 4:12, John 3:3-5; Romans 3:23,
10:10)
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit has
been sent from heaven to glorify Christ and to apply His work of salvation. He
convicts sinners, imparts spiritual life and gives a true understanding of the
Scriptures. He indwells all believers, brings assurance of salvation and
produces increasing likeness to Christ. He builds up the church and empowers its
members for worship, service and world-wide proclamation of the Gospel in
obedience to the great commission.
(1Cor 12:3-13; Acts 1:4-8; Mark 16:17-18;
Eph 4:11-13)
THE RESURRECTION
The bodily
resurraction is for all men - for the believer to live eternally with God in a
place prepared for them called heaven; for the unbeliever to live eternally
separated from God in hell, a place prepared for Satan and his demons.
(1Thes
4:16-17; Rev 20:14; Rev 21:1; 2Pet 4)
