Our beliefs

 

1.  We believe that the Holy Bible is the complete divine revelation, inspired by the Holy Spirit. [Rom. 16:26,

     2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:19-21; Rev. 22:18, 19]

 

2.  We believe that God is the only one Triune God — the Father, the Son, and the Spirit — co-existing

     equally from eternity to eternity. [Matt. 3:16, 17, 28:19; Rev. 1:4, 5; Phil. 2:6]

 

3.  We believe that the Son of God - God Himself - became incarnated to be a man by the name of Jesus,

     born of the virgin Mary, that He might be our Redeemer and Savior. [Matt. 1:20-25; Luke 1:35; John. 1:1,

     14, 29]

 

4.  We believe that Jesus, a genuine man, lived on this earth to do the will of the Father and to make God the

     Father known to men. [John. 1:18, 4:34, 6:57, 14:7-11; Heb. 1:3]

 

5.  We believe that Jesus, the Christ anointed by God with His Holy Spirit, died on the cross for the sins of

     the world and shed His blood for the accomplishment of their redemption to become their savior that

     every one who believes into Him would not perish but would have eternal life. [Matt. 3:16, 17; Rom. 5:8; 1

     Cor. 15:3; Titus 2:14; Heb. 9:12; John 3:16]

 

6.  We believe that Jesus Christ, after being buried, resurrected from the dead in the third day, ascended to

     the heavens and that God made Him Lord of all. [Acts 2:36; 1 Cor. 15:3,4; Phil. 2:9-11]

 

7.  We believe that, in resurrection, He became the life-giving Spirit, who is also the Spirit of God and the

     Spirit of Christ. Today, the Spirit of God, is moving on this earth today to convict sinners, to regenerate

     believers and impart His life into us as our life, the supply for our growth and our everything. [1 Cor. 15:4, 

     44, 45; John 6:35; Col. 3:4, 11]

 

8.  We believe that the church is the body of Christ and Christ is the head of the church. All the Spirit-

     regenerated believers have been baptized in one Spirit into one body to become the members of the

     body of Christ that they may grow up in life to build up the body of Christ. [Acts 2:33; John. 16:7-9; 1 Cor.

     12:12-13; Rom. 12:5; Eph. 1:22,23, 4:4, 16]

 

9.  We believe that Christ will return at the end of the age to take up His believers, to judge the world, to take

     possession of the earth, and to establish His eternal kingdom. [1 Thess. 4:15-17; Acts 17:31; Rev. 11:15]

 

10.  We believe that the overcoming saints will reign with Christ in the millennium and that all the believers in

       Christ will participate in the divine blessings in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth for

       eternity. [1 Cor. 2:9; Rev 2:26, 27; 11:15; 21:2-4, 22:17]
