Thy word is Truth

The following Teachings and Doctrines are
from the Word of God and available for
all to learn, accept and show forth
obediance. We believe these teachings are
found by complete Canonical revelation
and study. All these conclusions must
be received from the Holy Ghost and
through personal study and meditation of
the complete (every verse) word of God.
*1Tim4:13*
The Holy Bible
We believe the Holy Bible (also known as
the Holy Scriptures) of the Old and
New Testaments to be the verbally and
plenarily inspired Word of God. The
Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and
God breathed, qualifying them as the
final authority for faith and life.
The sixty-six books of the Old and New
Testament are the complete and divine
revelation of God to Man. We believe the
Apocrypha to be
historical but not Scripture
and must not be used in any matter of
doctrine or church discipline. The
Scriptures must be interpreted
historically, actually and contextually,
under the rule that Scripture must
interpret Scripture. The King James Holy
Bible is the only translation used by
the Church. We believe the King James
Authorized Holy Bible (1611 conformable)
is God's preserved Word for the English
speaking people today. We would remind
our brethren that inspired is of none
effect unless we have faith and trust in
God's ability to preserve His word and to this
we bare testamony to the Authorized
Holy Scriptures.

The Charismatic Lie
We believe the Holy Bible to be the
complete revelation of God to mankind.
We believe that the following gifts
Tongues, Prophecy and Knowledge were used
by the early Church in order for its
essential growth and sufficient teaching,
during which the canon of Scripture was
not completed. We believe that when
the Scriptures were completed, as a perfect
work of God, these gifts as taught in
Scripture then ceased to function in the
Church. We also believe that God through
His Spirit, gave special 'sign'gifts to
His Apostles and early evangelists
to authenticate their teachings and
proclomation of the Risen Christ. Today
we believe all preaching and doctrine can
be authenticated by His written word (the
Holy Scriptures). We believe most
manifestations of such gifts (especially
where there is access to the Scriptures)
today are works of evil and deception
causing confusion and disobedience. We
generally support the opinion that where
these false gifts are in use there is
also a break down of reverence order
and headship.
*1Cor13:8-13*
We believe all forms of sensual behaviour
such as falling over, shouting out,
speaking while others speak and shaking are
not New Testament Church behaviour and the
works of evil and deception. We reject
most modern'pentecostal' denominations
and believe their foundation to be
unscriptual and destructive.
*Mat7:22-23*

Mankinds Total Depravity
We believe that man was created in the image
and likeness of God and woman for man.
We believe that Adam's sin was the point
at which the human race fell and inherited
a sinful nature, alienated from God, and
that man is totally depraved and utterly
unable to save himself from his sin. We
believe that despite ones good intentions
the human race is a waring and wicked family
and that this will become more and
more
evident in the last days. We reject
the unscriptual teaching of
pre-election (calvanisim)and believe that
the Lord Jesus through His alone mercy
and grace, has and will call all men through
the Holy Spirit, to repentance and faith.
True to Gods character, the Lord allows man
to freely accept or reject this offer
of salvation through grace unto good works
and holy living. We believe the
scriptual teaching on grace that once saved
a person will move towards holiness
and perfection by that same grace, he has
over come sin and its author through
Christ Jesus. We also believe that prior to
this Eve was first deceived and was in
the transgression. We believe that God
has divinely appointed man as head of woman
in all creation (family Church and state)
and that this ordination has come under
serious attack from antichrists. The
confusion of gender responsibility will
result in sexual immoraltiy and fornication
and lawless behaviour in children and
young people.
*2Tim3:1-7 1Tim2:14-15 Rom1:26-27*

The Eternal Security of repentant Believers
We believe that salvation is a gift from
God through the propitiation of Christ.
We believe that all of the redeemed once
saved are kept by God's power and are
thus secure in Christ forever. We believe
that it is the privilege of believers to
rejoice in the blessed assurance of
their salvation through the testimony of
God's Word which clearly forbids the use
of Christian liberty as an occasion to the
flesh and lust.
*Joh10:28-30 Rom4:8*

The Church
We believe that the church which is the body
and espoused bride of Christ is solely made
up of born-again persons We believe that
the establishment and continuance of
local churches is clearly taught and defined
in the New Testament Scriptures We believe
in the autonomy of the local church free of
any external authority or control
(including public buildings and regulations)
We recognize water baptism the Lord's
Supper (Breaking of Bread) and the covering
of woman (long hair) as the
Scriptural ordinances of obedience for
the Church in this age We believe the
bishoprick and teaching should only
be undertaken by men in the Church meeting
and women must learn in silence and
submission (we recognize that women are to
take part in worship and praise audibly such
as prayer singing and
testimony

Separation
We believe that Christians should and will
live in such a manner as not to bring
reproach upon their Saviour and Lord, and
that separation from all religious
apostasy, worldly and sinful pleasures
practices and associations is commanded of
God. We believe that grace in its
full council has saved and continues to
save us daily. The Spirit of grace gives
each believer the power of divine nature,
to turn away from their sin and live in
holiness as commanded by our Lord Jesus.

The coming of the Lord Jesus Chrsit
We believe in that "blessed hope" the
personal imminent return of Christ, who
will catch away His Church at the begining
of the seven-year tribulation period. We
believe that this will take place following
a world wide apostasy and the manifestation
of the Anti-Chrsit. At the end of
the Tribulation, Christ will personally
and visibly return with His saints, to
establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom
which was promised to the Nation of
Israel.
We reject the main stream Pre, Mid, Post and
A millenium teachings as unscriptual. The
Lord Jesus has for warned His Church
of persecution and tribulation, and His
Church will remain faithful to Him even as
it goes into the Great Tribulation when we
are thus told to look to Heaven from whence
we await the Saviour Who will call us out
before the Judgement of God.

The Eternal State
We believe in the bodily resurrection of
all men, the saved to eternal life and
the unsaved to judgment and eternal
damnation. We believe that the souls of
the redeemed are at death absent from the
body and present with the Lord, where
in conscious bliss they await the
first resurrection of Life, when spirit soul
and body are reunited to be glorified
forever with the Lord. We believe that the
souls of unbelievers remain after death
in conscious punishment and torment in
Hell, until the second resurrection of
Death (seperation) when with soul and
body reunited, they shall appear at the
Great White Throne Judgment and shall be
cast into the Lake of Fire (with Hell) not
to be annihilated but to suffer
everlasting conscious punishment and torment
of Death (seperation from the life and love) from the Living
God.

The Personality of Satan
We believe that Satan is a person, the author
of sin and the tempter, who seduced the Fall
of Man that he is the open and declared enemy
of God and man. We believe that he shall
be eternally punished in the Lake of
Fire.

Creation
We believe that God, through Jesus
Christ, created the universe in six literal
24-hour periods. We reject evolution, the
Gap Theory, the Day-Age Theory, and
Theistic Evolution as unscriptural theories
of origin which both undermine and offend
the power of our Creator.

Government (Kingship)
We believe that God has ordained and created
all authority consisting of three
basic institutions: 1) the home 2) the
Church and 3) the state. Every person is
subject to these authorities, but all
(including the authorities themselves)
are answerable to God and governed by His
Word. God has given each institution
specific Biblical responsibilities and
balanced those responsibilities with
the understanding that no institution has
the right to infringe upon the other. The
home, the Church and the State are sovereign
in their respective Biblically assigned
spheres of responsibility under God.
We believe the break down in all
these institutions and the infringment upon
each other is the first sign of
apostasy.

Human Sexuality and Relationships
We believe that God has commanded that
no intimate sexual activity should be engaged
in outside of a marriage between a man and
a woman. We believe that any form (eigther
in mind or action)of homosexuality,
lesbianism, child sex, bisexuality,
bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery
and pornography are sinful perversions of
God's gift of sex.
We believe in the power of God to free all
the above from such evils at the point
of conversion, when one repents and trusts
in Jesus Christ their Saviour.

Marriage
We define marriage as a union of one man to
one woman his wife. By one man we mean a
male in anatomy from birth and by one woman
we mean a female in anatomy from birth. We
do not recognize the claims of those who
say they are a female trapped in a mans body
or a male trapped in a females body. We do
not recognize sex change operations as
changing the sex of a man or a woman. We do
not recognize same-sex civil unions or
same-sex 'marriages' regardless of
any government approval of any country
state city or town.
We believe that God hates divorce and
intends marriage to last until one of
the spouses dies. Divorce and remarriage
is regarded as adultery, except on the
grounds of fornication, or if an
unbeliever departs a believer. Although
divorced and remarried persons or
divorced persons may hold positions of
service in the Church and be greatly used of
God for Christian service, they may not
be considered for the office of Bishop or
deacon.

Abortion
We believe that human life begins at
conception and that the unborn child is a
living human being. Abortion constitutes
the unjustified unexcused taking of unborn
human life. Abortion is murder. We reject
any teaching that abortions of pregnancies
due to rape, incest, birth defects,
gender selection, birth population control
or the mental and physical well-being of
the mother are acceptable. We also reject
the use of any contraception that
allows conception and then destroys that
life. We accept that persons may be found in
any of the above traggic circumstances and
that the Church should minister with charity
and empathy to provide the best and godly
out come for both the mother and her
child.

Lawsuits Between Believers
We believe that Christians are prohibited
from bringing civil lawsuits against
other Christians or the Church, to
resolve personal disputes. We believe the
Church possesses all the resources necessary
to resolve personal disputes between
brothers and sisters.

The Collection
We believe that every Christian as a steward
of that portion of God's wealth entrusted
to him, is obligated to support his local
church financially. We believe that God
has established the tithe as a basis for
giving, but that every Christian should
also give offerings sacrificially and
cheerfully to the support of the Church,
the relief of those in need and the spread
of the Gospel. We accept that
a Bishoprick can be a paid office, however
we believe the office can be served free of
mamon and be a finer example to the flock.
