We believe the following:
1. THE SCRIPTURES
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of bold men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The new Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine 2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21.
2. THE GODHEAD
Our God is One but manifested in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, neither being created but infinite and eternal, each being co-equal Philippians 2:6. God the Father is greater than all, the Source of the Word (logos) and the Begetter John 14:28; 16:28; 1:14. The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One begotten and has existed with the Father from the beginning John 1:1; 1:18; 1:14. The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son John 15:26.
3. MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION
Man is a created being made in the likeness and image of God. But through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." "As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one." Romans 5:14; 3:23. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God 1 John 3:8. Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and the confession of Him as Saviour and Lord producing works acceptable to God. Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:8-10.
4. FORGIVENESS
If any believer sins, he has an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous, and therefore, if he confesses his sin, He is faithful and just to forgive him his sin and to cleanse him from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9-2:1.
