What I believe :
-
The Bible is the inspired Word of GOD. [ 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Tim. 3:16-17]
-
I believe in a unique, eternal and self-existent GOD, revealed to man in three persons: FATHER, SON JESUS CHRIST and HOLY SPIRIT. [Deut. 6: 4; Mark 12:29; Isaiah 43: 10-11; Mast. 28:19.]
-
Man and woman are created beings, made in the likeness and image of GOD, but through the transgression and fall of Adam, sin came into the world. [Genèse 1: 26-27, 2:7; Rom. 3:10 ; 3:23]
-
GOD is Love, Truth and Holiness. He loves all human beings and desires that all be saved without exception.
-
Salvation is GOD's gift to man through faith in JESUS CHRIST. Salvation is by grace alone through faith in JESUS CHRIST. [John 3:16, Rom. 3: 24-30; Rom. 10:9-10]
-
The new birth is necessary for all men. [John 3:3-8]
-
Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct command of our LORD and is reserved for believers. [Matthew 28:19, Romans. 6:4, Colossians. 2:12, Acts 8:36-39]
-
The baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT is a gift. Spiritual gifts are sovereignly distributed by GOD.
-
The LORD has a will for every human being, a destiny for every believer. But because of the free will He gave to every human being, this destiny will not be fulfilled without the voluntary collaboration of each.
-
Walking by the SPIRIT brings us to Know GOD, to Love Him, to Serve Him. It is possible to be fulfilled, engaged and balanced.
-
Divine healing through JESUS is still active in the lives of people today. Healing includes the restoration of body, soul and spirit.
-
Marriage is exclusively the union of a genetic male and a genetic female. GOD created each person in His image and likeness, as male or female. Rejection of a person's biological sex is a rejection of the GOD's image in that person. GOD wants sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. Any form of sexual immorality is a sin.
-
JESUS will come back and “. . . The dead in CHRIST will be the first to resuscitate: Then, we who will be alive and remain, we will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. . . ” [1 Thess. 4: 16–17].
-
We will be held accountable for the way we have lived our lives as redeemed children of GOD - for the things we have done in the time allotted to us, according to the opportunities and resources that GOD has placed in our hands.
-
Those who have accepted JESUS CHRIST as SAVIOR and LORD will enjoy eternal life. Those who rejected him, will experience eternity as a place of suffering of eternal separation from GOD.
