The Bible
We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of God.
That the Bible is the supreme and final Instruction Book for Guidance and success in every day living in matters of faith and conduct in work rest and play.
The Saviour
We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His real and complete humanity, in His sinless life, in His authoritative teaching, in His atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of His Father and our Father. That he is the One and Only Mediator between God and Man. That he will soon descend from heaven and that every eye shall Look on Him as this fast approaching return draws ever closer.
That it is written in the Scriptures. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration and sanctification, and that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement, the believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the Church, its worship, evangelism and service.
The Fall of Man
We believe that the heart of all men is desperately wicked, and that all mankind is born in sin and shaped in iniquity and that the love of God has made a way for us to be forgiven, cleansed and made righteous through the blood of His Son Jesus Christ, by admitting to our sinful nature and accepting Gods Gracious forgiveness.
Baptism
We believe in the baptism of believers in water by full emersion in obedience to the command of Christ as a sign of dying to oneself.
Salvation
We believe in the necessity for salvation of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which the sinner is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God’s sight. This justification is imputed by the grace of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received by faith alone and is evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit and a holy life.
The Commission
We believe that the Gospel embraces the needs of all men and that the duty of every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is to walk as children of The Light and to preach the Gospel to the world and to fulfil a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual and physical needs of mankind.
Communion
We believe that as believers we should commemorate Christs death by the observance of the Lord’s Supper until His return.
“This do as often as you do it in Remembrance of me”. 1 Corinthians 11:25-26
Ministry
We believe in the ministries that Christ has set in His Church, namely, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers and in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the New Testament.
The Father Son and Holy Spirit
We believe that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one, working together in unity sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.
That they are Holy and Worthy of all praise Glory and Honour
The Mistake that Most People make is to think that it is just religion
Religion is not what it’s about. No, Jesus is Truth Jesus is the Way Jesus is the Life. In fact Jesus is the Source of Life as he Performed His Fathers wishes.Jesus Christ is Gods spoken word that was made flesh by being born to a pure undefiled woman 2000 years ago. In the Beginning God Spoke, Jesus made it happen, That is who Jesus Is Gods Only Begotten Son.
This is our Core Belief, Jesus is our Life, our way and our truth it doesn't matter what order you put the words in; It is who Jesus Is.
If you want to be successful in life put Jesus First and foremost, Don't pretend too; God detests the Fakes and the Proud, but
These gifts have been provided for the education of each individual believer in Spiritual growth. For Guidance in our spiritual walk. For signs of Gods awesome power of love in healing the sick and raising the dead. He that prays in an unknown tongue edifies himself or herself, search the scriptures and see for yourself.
Jesus Himself said
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father."
John 14:12.We believe that God is the Same Yesterday Today and Forever, That He Is the Unchanging One.
That the gifts poured out on the day of Pentecost are still being poured out today on all who truly seek the Lord and have accepted Gods offer of Salvation.
Salvation is a free gift from God it cannot be earned it cannot be bought. It is obtained Simply by believing on His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, repenting of our sins and accepting the cleansing flow of the Blood of Jesus.
This Salvation is outwardly confirmed by being baptised by full emersion in water as an outward sign of dying to our own selfish desires and taking up our cross and following the example set by Jesus.
Receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit seals us until Jesus our Lord returns to call his family of believers home to Glory.
It is the infilling of the Holy Spirit that empowers us to walk the Christian life.
“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions."
"In the last days, God says".
"I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams."
This Baptism pool has seen many baptism's over the years; the most recent of which being for newly converted believers of Pastor Viju's church,The Immanuell Pentecostal Church Plymouth with my grandson Dylan being baptised as well.
