God the Creator of Heaven and Earth

God spoke into existence the world and all things that it contains, for His own pleasure, and the enjoyment of His creatures (Revelation 4:11). We believe that there is only one immortal and eternal God who is in heaven and manifests Himself in three equal Persons; the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; Deuteronomy 6:4; John 10:29-30; Matthew 6:9). We believe that Jesus Christ is God who came to earth in human flesh through virgin birth totally without sin (Matthew 1:18-23; Luke 1:26-35; Isaiah 7:14; Hebrew 4:14-15; Hebrews 7:26-28; John 14:11). We believe that Jesus Christ our God became man (John 1:14, John 20:28). He is the creator of everything through the power of His spoken word, and He existed before everything (John 8:56-59; John 1:1-18; Hebrews 11:3; Genesis 1:1). Jesus Christ is the Messiah (John 1:35-42).

Bible

We believe that the Bible is containing the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments inspired by God in its whole. The author of the Bible is the Holy Spirit, and the Bible is the incorruptible Word of God and is without error in the original inscriptions. The Bible is complete and is the final written revelation from God. (2Peter 1:20-21; 2Timothy 3:15-17).

Jesus’ Death, Resurrection, Ascension and His Return

We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. His substitutionary death (Matthew 20:28; Isaiah 53:1-12; I John 4:9-10; Hebrews 2:14-18; Ephesians 1:7; Romans 5:8; Galatians 3:13-14; Romans 4:25; Philippians 2:6-11). We believe Jesus Christ was buried and resurrected physically on the third day and ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven (I Corinthians 15:1-22; John 19:40-42; Hebrews 2:9; John 2:19; Luke 24:39-43). We believe that Jesus Christ is seated on the right hand of the Father where He now intercedes for us (Mark 16:19; Acts 7:55-56; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1; I Timothy 2:5). We believe that in Jesus Christ’s personal, visible body, He will return in His glory and power to judge the living and the dead (Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 22:11-12). We believe in Jesus Christ’s second coming for His church. We believe that the great tribulation will come upon the whole earth and there will be new earth and new heaven (Revelation 21:1-27; 7:1-17; 8:1-13; 9:1-21; I Thessalonians 4:14-16), and Jesus will return with His saints and all His holy angels to the earth and He will set up His kingdom on earth, ruling and reigning forever and ever (Matthew 24:28-43; Revelation 19:11-13).

Mankind

We believe that mankind is created in God’s image and likeness, and that God, in an unchangeable manner wonderfully created mankind male and female, and these two different persons in their opposite genders reflect the absolute aspect of the image and nature of God. We believe through one man; sin came into the world (Genesis 1:26-28; Romans 5:12).

  • Eternal Life

    We believe all humanity is born spiritually separated from God because of sin (Genesis 3:23-24; Romans 3:9-12; 1John 1:8-10). We believe that eternal life from God is offered to all mankind (John 3:15: 1 Timothy 2:3-4: 1 John 5:1). We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to be born again in spirit for salvation, that is to have eternal life in Jesus (1Peter 1:23; John 3:1-6). We believe that all humanity is lost and born with a sinful nature and that man is justified and declared righteous by God through the righteousness of Jesus Christ through His sacrificial and atoning death on the cross to pay the penalty for sin (Titus 3:5). His perfect obedience to the Father and the free gift given to all who believe in Him and is not earned through works (John 3:16-19; Romans 3:2-26; John 5:24; Romans 5:8-19; Romans 3:10; Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:21). We believe this saving work and perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ can only be received by grace and a personal faith in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ alone (Philippians 3:6-9; Romans 10:1-10; Jeremiah 23:6; Romans 4:1-3; Galatians 2:21; Ephesians 2:7-9). It is the assurance of salvation in Jesus that you can be confident that you are in the family of God and therefore have eternal life (1John 5:13). We believe that the work of Christ is the assurance for our salvation because our God is a promise keeper. We believe that those who are saved in Christ will rise to eternal life and those that are not saved will be lost in eternal punishment in hell, literally (Luke 16:19-31; Matthew 13:47-50; Matthew 25:46; John 5:26-29; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 21:6-8; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 22:3-5). We believe that the life Jesus promised and made available for believers is eternal. So, we believe that once anybody believe and confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, they receive eternal life that has been secure by God (John 10:27-30). A person who is truly saved would follow Jesus, obey His Word, and would not continue to demonstrate the characteristics of unbelievers, and they would not continue dwelling in sin as described in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

    The Church & The Body of Christ

    We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of the great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general church, which is written in heaven (Hebrews 12:23). We believe that the church is the body of the born-again believers in fellowship with our Lord Jesus Christ and with fellow believers (Hebrews 10:24-25; 1Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 2:19-22). We believe that all who are united by the new birth to Jesus Christ are covenant partners of the Universal Church, the Body of Christ.  We also believe that the local congregation of Christian believers is divinely instituted and is the chosen instrument of God for the furtherance of God’s work here on Earth.  While appreciating the work of para church groups, we believe that the local church is God’s chosen vehicle for world evangelization and the nurture of Christians.  We further believe in the spiritual unity of all believers and in working together with others who believe in salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ for the causes of evangelism, missions, and compassion (John 17:21; Ephesians 1:20-23; 4:3-10; Colossians 3:14-15). Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the Church of the Firstborn, whose name is written in heaven in the Lamb’s Book of Life. 

    The Mission of Jesus Christ to the Church.

    We believe in the mission of Jesus Christ which the Father has given to Him, and that Jesus gave His mission to the church to carry out, and this mission is the Christian movement. The mission to reconcile God’s people back to God through the power of the Holy Spirit (John 20:21-23; Matthew 28:18-20; Romans 10:1-15; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-18; Acts 13:1-4; Acts 14:1-28; Acts 2:1-41). We believe that God has called us as His Emissaries (ambassadors) to the sinful world, and the church mission is about this great commission through Jesus Christ: to fulfill His Father's will by living among the people for the purpose of salvation. He became one of us in flesh and shared in our troubles and in our oppression (Genesis 3:8-9; 2 Corinthians 5:11-20).

    Jesus has empowered us to do this wholistic mission by reaching out across cross-culturally, by going into missions and empowering missionaries (believers) to evangelize people who have never heard or who have little opportunity to hear the saving gospel.
