ABOUT US
Statement
of faith
We believe that the Scriptures
of the Old and New Testaments are divinely inspired, verbally
and completely inerrant in the original writings and of supreme
and final authority in all matters of faith and life.
We recognise the value
of traditional Jewish literature but only where it is supported
by or conformable to the Word of God. We regard it as in no
way binding upon life or faith.
We believe in one sovereign
God, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, unbounded in power,
and measureless in love; that God is the source of all creation
and that through the immediate exercise of His power, all
things came into being.
We believe that God the
Father is the author of eternal salvation, having loved the
world and given His Son for its redemption.
We believe that Jesus
the Messiah was eternally pre-existent and is co-equal with
God the Father; that He took on Himself the nature of man
through the virgin birth so that He possesses both divine
and human natures.
We believe in His sinless
life and perfect obedience to the Law; in His atoning death,
burial, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, high-priestly
intercession and His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that the Holy
Spirit is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the
Son; that He was active in the creation of all things and
continues to be so in providence; that He convicts the world
of sin, righteousness, and judgement and that He regenerates,
sanctifies, baptises, indwells, seals, illumines, guides and
bestows His gifts upon all believers.
We believe that God created
man in His image; that because of the disobedience of our
first parents at the Garden of Eden, they lost their innocence
and both they and their descendants, separated from God, suffer
physical and spiritual death and that all human beings, with
the exception of Jesus the Messiah, are sinners by nature
and practice.
We believe that Jesus
the Messiah died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,
as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; that all
who believe in Him are justified, not by any works of righteousness
they have done, but by His perfect righteousness and atoning
blood and that there is no other name under heaven by which
we must be saved.
We believe that Israel
exists as a covenant people through whom God continues to
accomplish His purposes and that the Church is an elect people
in accordance with the New Covenant, comprising both Jews
and Gentiles who acknowledge Jesus as Messiah and Redeemer.
We believe that Jesus
the Messiah will return personally in order to consummate
the prophesied purposes concerning His Kingdom.
We believe in the bodily
resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness
of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the
lost.
