Doctrines
God.
God is unique and eternal. He is the Creator of everything and no one is equal to Him. He is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing) and omnipresent (everywhere). God exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but He is still one true God.
Biblical foundation: Psalm 90:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Revelation 1:8
Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the Son of God and is God himself made man. He came into the world to save us from sin, dying on the cross and rising again on the third day. He is the way to the Father, the head of the Church and will return for his people. Biblical basis: John 3:16; Colossians 1:18; 1 Thessalonians 4:17
The Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is God present in us. He is the one who convicts the heart of sin, guides the believer to the truth and gives us strength to live according to Christ. He dwells in us from the moment we accept Jesus as Savior.
Biblical foundation: John 16:7-13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13
The Trinity.
We believe in one God in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are not three gods, but one true God acting in perfect unity. Although our mind cannot fully understand this, the Bible reveals it as a divine truth.
Biblical basis: Isaiah 44:6; John 14:16-17; Genesis 1:26
The Bible.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It teaches us how to live, corrects us and guides us to the truth. It is the believer's manual for life and the basis of all doctrine.
Biblical foundation: 2 Timothy 3:16; Matthew 24:35.
Man.
Human beings were created in the image of God, but sin separated them from Him. Only Jesus Christ can restore that relationship and give us eternal life.
Biblical foundation: Genesis 1:26; Romans 3:23-24
Baptism.
Water baptism is an act of faith and obedience that symbolizes our new life in Christ. It represents that we die to sin and rise with Jesus to live in holiness.
Biblical basis: Romans 6:4; Matthew 28:19
The Lord's Supper.
The Lord's Supper reminds us of Christ's sacrifice and invites us to maintain communion with him and with our brothers and sisters. The bread represents his body, and the cup, his blood poured out for love.
Biblical basis: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Salvation.
Salvation is a gift from God that we receive by faith in Jesus Christ, not by our works. When we believe in Him, we are forgiven, transformed and made children of God.
Biblical basis: Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6
Eternal Security.
Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Whoever has been saved by grace has eternal life in Christ. This assurance leads us to live a holy and thankful life .
Biblical foundation: John 10:28; Hebrews 7:25.
Eternity.
We were all created to live eternally:
With God, through Christ (eternal life).
Separated from Him, by sin (eternal perdition).
Biblical basis: John 3:16; Romans 6:23.
