GATHERING TO THE NAME OF THE
LORD JESUS

​What We Believe

​We regard the Holy Scriptures (The Bible), comprising the Old and New Testaments, as being the inspired and infallible Word of God and teaching the following core principles:

• There is one living God fully revealed to us in Christ and known through Him as Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the unity of the Godhead. Therefore God is one God, Father, Son and the Spirit (1Tim 2:5, John1:18, Matt 28:19);

• Full deity and full humanity of the Son of God. The Word, who was with God and was God, was made flesh and dwelt among us, the Man Christ Jesus, the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world (John 1:1,14, 1 Tim 2:5, 1 John 4:14);

• The Lord Jesus Christ gave Himself a ransom for all having died upon the cross. He has made propitiation for our sins and not for ours alone, but also for the whole world. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. (1 Tim 2:6, Phil 2:8, 1 John 2:2, Acts 4:12)

• The good news of God concerning His Son Jesus Christ as presented in the gospel is towards all those who believe (Rom 1:1-4, Rom 3:22);

• After His resurrection Christ ascended to the throne of God, upon His ascension the Holy Spirit has been sent down to dwell in those who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 4:8, Acts 2:4, Acts 5:32, 1 Cor 3:16);

• The Lord has left two rites or ordinances both representative of His death. One being baptism which signifies our identification with His death as separating us from the world. The other, a weekly collective celebration of the Lord’s Supper, the remembrance of His death in the bread speaking to us of His body and the cup speaking to us of His blood. This provides the enduring bond of our fellowship and unity with God (Acts 16:15, Rom 6:3, 1 Cor 11:23-25);

• According to His promise, Christ will return for those who are His during the event known as the Rapture. The dead in Christ will be raised incorruptible and the living believers will be changed. The resurrection and change will take place in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. Changed bodies of believers will be like unto His glorious body (1 Thess 4:14-17, Phil 3:21, Acts 2:21, 2 Tim 2:19);

• During the end times and the period known as the tribulation, this world will be under the reign of the antichrist also known as the man of sin. This man will be energized by Satan and become the complete embodiment of all evil and lawlessness. At the end of the tribulation Christ will return and destroy this son of perdition with the breath of His mouth and annul by the power of His presence after which He will set up His kingdom on this earth for a thousand years (2 Thess 2:8-9)

• After thousand years of His reign on this earth are completed there will be final judgment at the Great White Throne. The judge will be the Lord Jesus Christ. Following this final judgment this earth and the universe will be destroyed by fire and new universe and new earth will be made where righteousness will prevail eternally. (Acts 17:31, 2 Pet 3:10, Rev 20:11-15).
