We hold the following doctrines as an essential part of our religious belief and a full copy of our constitution
is available on request:
- The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments.
- The existence of One God in three persons – The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost.
- The Deity and incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is The Son of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity
- The fallen, sinful and lost estate of all mankind.
- The salvation of men from the penal consequences and the power of sin through the perfect obedience of The Lord Jesus Christ, His atoning death, His resurrection from the dead, His ascension to the right hand of The Father, and His unchanging priesthood.
- The immediate work of the Holy Spirit in the regeneration of men, in their sanctification, and in their preservation to the heavenly kingdom of The Lord Jesus Christ. (i.e. The work of The Holy Spirit in mans salvation includes conviction of sin, reception of The Holy Spirit through repentance towards God and faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, the sinner thereby is baptised by The Holy Spirit into the body of Christ, sanctified and preserved by the power of God.)
- The necessity in order of salvation of repentance towards God, and of faith in The Lord Jesus Christ.
- The personal return of The Lord Jesus Christ.
- The resurrection of the dead, and the final judgement of all men by The Lord Jesus Christ.
- The divine ordinances to be observed by the church shall be Baptism and The Lord’s Supper, which are of perpetual obligation; baptism being the immersion of believers upon the profession of their faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, and a symbol of the fellowship of the regenerate in His death, burial and resurrection; The Lords Supper being a memorial until He comes of the sacrifice of the body and blood of The Lord Jesus Christ.
