-
We hold to the God of Israel as the One true
God; a Triune God in three persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
He alone is to be worshipped, as prescribed in Scripture.
-
We believe in the doctrinal infallibility of
the original manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments in the original
languages, and in the historicity of these Scriptures.
-
The complete Bible constituting the supreme
authority for our faith and ministry.
We accept the Bible as the only basis of true doctrine.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the
virgin Mary (in accordance with Old Testament scritpure - Isaiah 7:14), and that He lived a perfect and spotless life, enabling Him to be
the perfect once and for all sacrifice for the sin of mankind.
-
We believe in salvation through the New Birth
experience by repentance and faith in Jesus alone, as the only provision for
man's sin.
We hold that Jesus took our sin and gave us His righteousness and we
must personally accept Him and remain faithful to Him on the basis of
scripture.
Those rejecting Jesus will face eternal perdition.
-
We believe that man is fallen and so is
creation.
It is impossible for man to justify himself before a perfect God.
-
We hold to a pre-millennium return of Christ
at which time He will establish his millennium Kingdom on earth.
-
We accept that Gentiles who truly accept Jesus
replace Jews who reject Him; however, these are incorporated into Israel in
a spiritual sense (on the basis of Romans 11), rather than the church
replacing Israel - a teaching that we hold to be error.
-
God's prophetic plan for the salvation of the
world is bound up with His prophetic plan for the re-gathering and salvation
of Israel.
-
We believe the gifts of the Spirit, including
charismatic gifts, continue to operate in the church.
However, we reject any form of charismatic or Pentecostal extremism,
and reject totally any form of tradition-based or experiential theology.
-
We hold to believer's baptism.
-
We yearn for the unity of the Spirit, such
unity seen as with other Bible-based evangelical Christians, churches, and
ministries - even where we may not share all the same nonessential
doctrines.
-
However, we reject - as a false unity -
ecumenism or unity with any form with non-evangelical versions of
Christianity, having a different doctrine of salvation and a basis of
doctrinal authority other than the Bible.
