- We believe in the deity of Christ, in His Virgin birth Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31-35, in His sinless life Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21, and in His personal return in power and glory. Acts 1:9, 11, 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God. John 14:6.
- We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to the believers to enable them to live a godly life, resist sin and be a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 1:11; 2 Timothy 1:6,7 & 7:1
