Tenets of Faith

The baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:4- 10,28), but different in purpose and use. The church believes in the gifts of the Holy Spirit for the edification, exhortation and comfort of the church, as the body of Christ.

Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God(Romans 12:1,2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12). The Scriptures teach a life of "holiness without which no man shall see the Lord." (Hebrew 12:14) By the power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command: "Be ye holy, for I am holy." (1 Peter 1:15,16). Sanctification is realised in the believer by recognising his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 6:1-11,13; 8:1,2,13; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 2:12,13; 1 Peter 1:5).

The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfilment of great commission. Each believer, born again of the Spirit, is an integral part of the Church(Ephesians 1:22, 23; 2:22; Hebrews 12:23).
