Statement of Faith3


16. Spritual Gifts
We believe that God has never removed the gifts referred to in 1 Corinthians chapters 12, 13 and 14 and that whenever the Holy Spirit moves upon the Church in power, these gifts are manifested. We believe it is contrary to the Apostolic command for any to “forbid to speak in toungues”.

17. Priesthood of Believers
Each individual believer has full and equal access to God through our Lord Jesus Christ as a believer-priest. (1Peter 2:1-9, Revelations 5:9-10, 1:6).

18. The Ministry
The ascended Christ has given various ministries to the Church and each of these exists for the strengthening of and is essential to the welfare of the Church. They are set forth in Ephesians 4:11, 1 Corinthians 12:28.

19. Miracles
We believe in miracles, both as recorded in the Bible and as being possible in the present day. (John 14:12, 1Corinthians 12:10)

20. Judgement
We believe in that both the living and the dead will be judged, it being understood that the believer’s condemnationwas borne by our Lord Jesus Christ in His redemptive work.
(John 5:24, 28-29, Revelations 20:11-15.
