Faith Statement

THE BIBLE

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, serving as the set of laws for believers to follow. By applying its principles, we find success in life, fulfilling our purpose and on Earth. The Bible equips believers with wisdom, instruction, and authority for godly living and ruling (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:105; Matthew 4:4).

TRINITY

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal, coeternal, and fully divine, existing in perfect unity as one God (1 John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Isaiah 9:6).

GOD

God the Father, often referred to as Yahweh, is the eternal Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of all things. He is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, holy, loving, and unchanging. His divine will and purpose are the foundation for all creation and His Kingdom rule (Genesis 1:1; Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 40:28; Malachi 3:6; 1 Timothy 1:17).

JESUS (YESHUA)

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the Cross for humanity’s sins, and rose bodily from the dead on the third day. He ascended to Heaven and will return to establish His Kingdom. Through Him alone, salvation is made available to all who believe (John 1:1, 14; Matthew 1:18-25; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; John 14:6).

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, fully divine and eternally existent. He convicts the world of sin, regenerates and sanctifies believers, and empowers them to live godly lives. The Holy Spirit dwells in all believers, guiding, teaching, and equipping them with spiritual gifts to build the Church and extend God’s Kingdom (John 14:16-17, 26; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22-23; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11).

GOD’S KINGDOM

God’s Kingdom is His rule and reign, both in Heaven and on Earth. His intention is to bring His Kingdom to Earth, enabling believers of Jesus to partner with Him by ruling and reigning through the Holy Spirit. As part of God’s royal family, believers extend His Kingdom by living out biblical principles, bringing transformation to the world (Matthew 6:10; Daniel 7:27; Revelation 5:10; Luke 17:21; Romans 14:17; Isaiah 9:7).

SATAN’S KINGDOM

Satan rules a kingdom of darkness, which opposes God’s Kingdom. This kingdom seeks to deceive and destroy humanity, but believers have victory through Christ, who overcame Satan and his works (John 8:44; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 2:15; Ephesians 6:12).

REDEMPTION

Humans were created good and in God’s image, but through willful disobedience, they fell into sin. Redemption is only possible through Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Genesis 1:26-31; 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).

SALVATION

Salvation comes by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ—His death, burial, and resurrection. It is a gift from God, not earned through our good works or human efforts (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22).

REPENTANCE

Repentance is a decision to turn away from sin in every part of our lives and follow Christ, enabling us to receive His redemption and be renewed by the Holy Spirit. Through repentance, we are forgiven of our sins and receive salvation (Acts 2:21, 3:19; 1 John 1:9).

SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification is a lifelong process where believers grow to reflect the character of Christ by aligning our lives with God’s Word and submitting to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This work enables us to live in obedience and holiness through God’s ongoing transformation (1 Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18; Romans 8:29, 12:1-2; Hebrews 2:11).

JESUS’ BLOOD

The pure and sinless blood of Jesus was shed as the perfect sacrifice for humanity, providing forgiveness, redemption, and freedom from the power of sin. His blood cleanses us, restores our relationship with God, and seals the new covenant of grace and eternal life (1 Peter 1:18-19; Hebrews 9:14, 22; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 1:7).

JESUS CHRIST LIVES ALL BELIEVERS

Christians are those who have welcomed Jesus Christ into their hearts, surrendering their lives to His guidance and lordship. By trusting in His death, resurrection, and victory over sin, they are transformed and filled with His Spirit, allowing Him to dwell within them and lead them daily (Galatians 2:20; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 3:16-17; Colossians 1:27).12; John 14:17, 23; John 15:4; Romans 8:11; Revelation 3:20).

BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation, symbolizing the believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Through baptism, Christians publicly declare their faith, turning from sin and embracing new life in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3-4; Acts 2:38; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21).

THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the Church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. Believers are commanded to desire the gifts, which operate in harmony with the Scriptures (Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter 4:10).

THE CHURCH

The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus’ Great Commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an essential part of the Church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23).

HEAVEN AND HELL

Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for believers in Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 25:34; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 5:1; 1 Peter 1:4). Hell is a place of eternal torment for unbelievers (Matthew 25:41; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 20:12-15, 21:8).

SECOND COMING

The second coming of Jesus Christ is the promised return of our Lord to earth, where He will establish His Kingdom in glory. This event will be visible and undeniable, and Jesus will gather His followers to Himself, bringing final judgment and restoring all things (Matthew 24:30; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 1:7).
