The Bible

We believe the whole Bible is truth and is inspired by God. The Word is power and the Bible is infallible. When a believer lives it out, his life and circumstances will align with the promises of God. The Bible is the final authority on how we are to live as believers. We believe the Old Testament was the shadow of better things to come. We believe the New Testament is the perfect expression of God’s will and character expressed through Jesus Christ. We believe the epistles contains what Jesus could not reveal yet and are the meat for the mature believer, who trains his senses through practice.

John 17:17, 2Timothy 3:16-17, 2Peter 1:20-21, Numbers 23:19, John 10:35, Matthew 5:19, Matthew 19:17, 1John 2:3-4, Hebrews 10:1, Hebrews 1:1-3, John 16:12-15, Hebrews 5:12-14

One Eternal God

We believe one God exists in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are equal in deity, power, and glory. God’s love is infinite, God’s judgements are perfect, God’s righteousness is unchanging. The Son is the image of the invisible God and in Him, all things hold together. God has always been involved with humanity through binding promises called covenants, including this last covenant, made perfect through Jesus, the Christ. We believe God is dedicated to the highest good of mankind and God’s love is the ultimate power at work in this world. God sent Jesus to save the world, not to judge it.

Acts 17:24-28, 2Corinthians 13:14, Ephesians 4:4-6, John 14:10-11, Hebrews 13:8, Colossians 1:16-17, Hebrews 9, Matthew 7:11, 1Corinthians 13:13, John 3:16, Romans 2:4, John 3:17

Jesus & Man

We believe man was created in the image of God, glorious, sinless, and righteous, for the purpose to rule over all the work of God’s hands. As a consequence of disobedience, man fell from perfection. Sin and death entered into the world. All men are born sinners by nature. They choose to continue in sin through their free will. They are condemned and unable to save themselves. We believe Jesus is the Son of God, the name above all names. He came into the world to destroy the work of the devil, to free man from sin, and to restore man to his original dominion, glorious, holy, and righteous. He came to restore man to the Father, and to transform him to His image. We have now confidence to enter the Holy of Holies through the veil (Jesus) and we have free access to God through Him. We believe Jesus, having offered one sacrifice for sins of all man for all time, has perfected those who are sanctified, and there is no longer need of any offering for sin. Christ is the fulfillment of the Law and He made the Law obsolete. In Him we have obtained an inheritance. Through Him we are royal priests, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, transferred from darkness into His marvelous light.

Holy Spirit

We believe God already promised His coming to Abraham, when He told him that all nations of the earth will be blessed through his seed. Holy Spirit is the blessing to the nations spoken to Abraham. His coming into man was the heart of God’s plan from the beginning to show the fallen world the mystery hidden from the foundation of the world: “Christ in you, the hope of glory!”. His job is to convict man of sin, to help him recognize his need of Jesus, and then to conform him to the image of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is an inward and outward witness of salvation as He produces His fruits in the believer. He reveals the depths of God, He teaches all things, and He brings the Word of God to our remembrance. By the Spirit we are washed and sanctified. 

Genesis 22:18, Galatians 4:14, Colossians 1:27, John 16:8, 2Corinthians 3:18, 2Peter 1:4-8, Galatians 5:22-23, Ephesians 5:9, 1Corinthians 2:10, John 14:26, 1Corinthians 6:11

Salvation

We believe salvation is given upon genuine repentance to the Father and gives life to the dead spirit. Through salvation we become sons and daughters, co-heirs of the Kingdom with Jesus. Forgiveness of sin requires shedding of blood. The blood of animals used under the Old Covenant was only a temporary covering for sins which could never bring salvation. Only through Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, can man experience forgiveness and salvation. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us to save us from sin. He washes us clean, erases our debt, and takes away from us the desire to sin. We believe salvation is given to man by grace alone, through our faith alone, and by the work of Jesus on the Cross alone. We believe salvation starts its work of restoration as soon as we repent. We believe salvation is much more than eternal life. It brings wholeness, healing, deliverance, restoration, wellness, and preservation.

Baptism Of Water

We believe in the power of water baptism in Jesus, when it is done with the believer clear understanding and faith. We believe water baptism by full immersion is an identification into Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. We die with Him in the water, and we rise with Him out of the water to walk in newness of life. The old sinful nature is buried under the water and the slavery to sin is taken away. The new creation rises from the water freed from sin, washed, with a clear conscience before God. A life after water baptism, biblically conducted, cannot look the same as before.

Romans 6:4-6,13-14,18-19

Sanctification

We believe sanctification is given at salvation through the conviction and hatred of sin. As we grow in Christ and renew our mind to the Word of God, we should sin less and less and become more and more like Jesus in actions, in words, and in thoughts. Our transformed lives should be a testimony of the Spirit and of the power of God in us. This is the great mystery revealed, Jesus in us, the hope of glory.

1Thessalonians 4:1-8, John 17:17, Hebrews 12:14, Romans 12:2, James 1:27, 2Corinthians 3:18, Philippians 4:8, Colossians 1:10-12, Colossians 1:29, Colossians 1:27

Baptism Of Holy Spirit

We believe in the empowerment of the believer through another baptism. It is the baptism of the Holy Spirit, to edify and strengthen the believer, and to meet all the needs of humanity. We recognise that in the majority of the biblical accounts of Holy Spirit baptism, the most common physical manifestation is the speaking in tongues. We believe in the many benefits in speaking in tongues for extended period of time - to build up faith, to pray when we don’t know what to pray, to receive guidance, instructions and revelations. We believe supernatural power is given to be witnesses of Jesus and to produce signs and wonders that will bring unbelievers into the Kingdom. It also produces unity in the body of Christ. Spiritual gifts are given for the common good for edification, exhortation, consolation, encouragement, miracles. We believe in the equipping of the saints as they walk in faith doing the great commission. Any limitation on gifting is more from unbelief rather than from God who has given us every spiritual blessings. Through maturity comes the revealing of the sons of God that the creation eagerly waits for. We believe we are living in a time of intense spiritual activity, when God is equipping the church to walk in power and love. For the manifested sons and daughters to establish God’s glory on earth through signs, wonders and miracles. For the church to fulfil its calling and mission.

The Renewing Of The Mind

We believe in the utmost importance of the renewing of the mind to enter in the fullness of the new creation. It is the only way toward becoming a MANIFESTED son or daughter. Jesus and Paul spoke clearly about this. Jesus said that man shall live by every word that proceed from the mouth of God. Paul said that we have to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. We believe in the power of taking our thoughts captive to destroy the work of the enemy. We believe the new creation rises from the waters of baptism but can only manifest through the renewing of the mind. We believe the renewing of the mind is the answer to many form of evil, and is the main avenue to bring the death of the old self. This is the core of the life in Jesus and the way toward the restoration of one’s life and relationships. We believe the dying of the flesh is the working out of our salvation, that needs practice, obedience, and humility. It produces restoration of the whole being leading to holiness and sanctification.

2Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:22-24, Philippians 4:8-9, Matthew 4:4, Romans 12:2, 2Corinthians 10:3-6, Galatians 6:15, Galatians 2:20, Colossians 3:1-5, Luke 9:23-24, John 12:24, 1Peter 4:2, Colossians 3:10-11, Philippians 2:12

Evil

We believe Satan is the prince of this world since the fall of man. He and his demonic forces are at work against humanity because of God’s love for man. They strive to establish a counterfeit kingdom on earth, dark and evil, and to destroy everything which is good, righteous, and holy. They affect the mind, the body, and circumstances. Their weapons of choice are lies, oppression, hindrances, sickness and disease. We believe there is no spiritual neutral ground. We are either for God or against Him. We believe we are living in a time of intense evil activity and manifested sons and daughters are spiritually fully equipped to destroy it and are being made for such a time as this.

Ephesians 2:2, John 14:30, John 10:10, 2Corinthians 4:4, 2Corinthians 11:14, Romans 1:21-23, Matthew 15:19-20, Matthew 13:38, 2Corinthians 11:13, Romans 8:15, 1Timothy 4:1, Matthew 12:24-28, Matthew 12:43-45, Luke 13:11-12, Luke 8:29, Acts 8:7, Acts 16:16-18, Matthew 12:30, Luke 10:17, Mark 16:17, Revelation 12:10

The Kingdom

We believe in a real and invisible Kingdom, perfect and invaluable, which exists in heaven under the government of God. We believe God’s will is to bring the Kingdom on earth. It was manifested at creation through its perfection. The Kingdom left the earth at the fall because evil cannot be part of it. Jesus came to restore the Kingdom on earth which will have no end. He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom which is the bringing of the good news to man, and He demonstrated it. It is God’s good pleasure to give the Kingdom to man. We believe the sons and daughters of God are to preach it and to demonstrate it like Jesus did. God is reconciling man to Himself through Jesus, and establishing His government on earth as it is in heaven. We believe each manifested son and daughter is to be a royal priest in this manifested kingdom. The only way to see the Kingdom is to be born again, born of water and of the Spirit. We believe the Kingdom was near when Jesus was walking on this earth, the Kingdom was established on earth at Pentecost, and it has been increasing since then, in peace, justice, and righteousness.

Romans 14:17-18, Matthew 6:33, Matthew 13:44-46, Genesis 1:31, Matthew 13:47-50, Luke 1:32-33, Luke 2:10-11, Matthew 4:17, Matthew 4:23, Luke 12:32, Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15, 2Corinthians 5:20-21, Matthew 6:10, 1Peter 2:9, John 3:3,5, Luke 10:9, Matthew 10:7, Luke 17:20-21, John 14:12, 16-17, Revelation 1:6, Isaiah 9:7

The Great Commission

We believe Jesus commissioned first the 12 disciples, then the 70, then all those who believe. The Great Commission has been given for the purpose of extending the Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. We believe that healing for every man is included in Christ’s atoning sacrifice, and that it is God’s will for every man to be healed, and for every Christian to minister healing to anyone at any time like Jesus did. Wherever Jesus walked, He healed and delivered people. We believe we are to do the same as Jesus, with His power and authority in us. We are to do literally greater than He did. We do this from compassion for the sake of the oppressed world. We believe that our greatest weapon against the work of the enemy is love and that God pursues all men with His loving kindness (healing) to bring them to repentance. The only hindrances to healing are unbelief and wrong doctrines and they can be overcome by exercising faith and power.

Communion

We believe in the power of Communion, its simplicity, and its ordinances as an act of worship and remembrance of Him. The taking of the bread and the cup are a celebration of the new covenant, the only covenant bringing forth the new creation. This is a celebration of life as the bread of God came down to bring life to the world. This is a celebration of love which brings forth gratefulness and devotion to God. This is a celebration of unity with Him and between us. This is a celebration of the new identity in the Kingdom. It helps to settle in the hearts of sons and daughters the truth of their power and authority in Jesus. We believe in the power of communion taken rightly to awaken those who are spiritually dead, to strengthen those who are weak, and to heal those who are sick. We believe there is no limit set by the Father in the partaking of the communion in frequency and number of participants.
