Bible
We believe in Biblical Inerrancy, which means bible is a living Word
and entire
bible is the Truth, and there is no error. We believe, all scripture is
breathed out by God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, for training in righteousness: That the man of God may be
competent, equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17). We believe
what the
entire Bible says, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, that
has sixty
six books, are all given by the inspiration of God in the sense that
the Holy
Spirit guided holy men of old to speak and write the very words of the
Bible; and
that His divine inspiration is not in different degrees, but extends
equally
and fully to all parts of these books, historical, poetical, doctrinal,
and
prophetical, and to the smallest word, provided such word was present
in the
original manuscripts (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:21; 1 Corinthians. 2:13;
Mark
12:26,36; 13:11; Acts 1:16; 2:4).
Sin
We believe that sin is transgression of law (1 John 3:4). We believe
that sin
is also ascribed to a person, if he/she denies the moral law (James
4:17). We
believe that man was originally created in the image of God to worship
and
serve the God in innocence. But, because of his voluntary disobedience,
he fell
down from fellowship with Holy God thus becoming subject to the power
of the
evil one. We believe that this fallen nature was depicted in Bible in
many
terms viz.,
�sin�
(Rom 6:12, 14),
�flesh�
(Gal 5:17),
�lust�
(James
1:14, 1 John 2:16), etc., This fallen human nature was transmitted to
all
humans, there by bringing in the need for saving grace that can
reconcile
fallen man with Holy God again.
Salvation
We believe in the need for Salvation of lost soul because of the fallen
nature.
We believe that human race is already condemned (Rom 3:23, John 3:18)
and is in
desperate need of Salvation from wrath of Holy God (Deut 32:35; Rom
4:15; Rom
13:4). We believe that Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to
scriptures, as substitutionary sacrifice, satisfying the need of
holiness of
God. We believe that each person who, by faith, believes in Lord Jesus
Christ
with repentance and receives him is justified by the blood of Lord
Jesus that
was shed on cross. Each person who receives Christ as personal savior
is born
again of Holy Spirit (John 3:3) and receives him so that he can indwell
in
him/her (Acts 2:38; Rom 8:9) and thereby becoming eternally secure as
child of
God (John 1:12, Eph 1:14).
We believe that salvation cannot be obtained in any other name other
than that
of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; Jonah 2:9).We believe that works cannot
earn salvation, but it is free gift of God by
grace through faith (Eph 2:8).
Church
We believe that church is a body of confessing believers who are chosen
of God
the Father, through sanctification of Holy Spirit unto obedience and
sprinkling
of blood of Jesus Christ (1 Pet 1:2). We believe in all such people
forming the
universal body of Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 1:22, 23) and his temple built
with
living stones (1 Pet 2:5). We believe the primary purpose of universal
church
is to glorify God (1 Cor. 6:20). We believe in the local body governed
by
faithful and responsible elders (1 Tim 3). We believe that the primary
goal of
local church is to gather around the
Lord�s table, remembering Lord Jesus
Christ�s sacrifice while giving
thanks, and for praying, and for exhorting
one another in Apostles� doctrine
(Acts 2:42). We believe the primary work of
local church is to perfect one another for edification of body of
Christ and to
equip for ministry (Eph 4:12).
Return
of Christ
We believe in the physical return of our Lord Jesus Christ to receive
his
church (John 14:1-3, I Cor 15:51-57, 1 Thess 4:13-18). We believe in
the
Judgment of Christ to reward the believers (2 Cor 5:10). We believe in
the
physical return of our Lord Jesus Christ onto earth, along with saints,
to
establish his Kingdom for 1000 years (Rev 20:4), after seven years of
great
tribulation
Resurrection
We
believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matt 28,
Acts
1:3) according to scriptures by the power of God the Father. We believe
in his
appearance to disciples for 40 days before his ascension (1 Cor
15:4-8). We
believe in his ascension (Acts 1:9) and his present life as high priest
interceding for us (1 John 1:7, Heb 7:25).
We
believe in the bodily resurrection of all dead (Rom 5:29). Those who
believe
in Lord Jesus Christ will be resurrected for eternal fellowship with
God in his
Kingdom (1 Thess 4:13-18). Those who do not believe in Lord Jesus
Christ will
be resurrected for eternal judgment and condemnation in lake of fire
(Rev
21:8).
