CHURCH FOR ALL NATIONS
OUR BELIEFS
1. The Bible – The Inspired Word of God
We believe that the Holy Bible is the infallible, inspired Word of God — the final authority for faith and life. It reveals God’s heart, His will for mankind, and the path to salvation. Through the Scriptures, we learn of the necessity of a personal new birth experience — one that begins with repentance and continues through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. God’s Word is living and active, guiding us to walk in righteousness and truth every day.
2. The One True God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
We believe in one eternal God who exists asone being, but three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit.
God is our father, the Son is our Redeemer who gave His life for our salvation, and the Holy Spirit is our Comforter and guide, dwelling in believers to lead them into all truth.
3. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as recorded in Acts 2:4, where believers were filled with the Spirit and empowered to live holy and victorious lives. The Holy Spirit works actively in the lives of Christians — convicting, strengthening, and guiding them into deeper relationship with God. Through His presence, we receive boldness to witness, power to overcome sin, and joy in serving the Lord.
4. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit continues to give spiritual gifts to believers today, just as in the early church. These gifts — including speaking in tongues, prophecy, healing, discernment, and miracles — are given for the building up of the body of Christ and the glorification of God. We encourage believers to seek these gifts earnestly and to use them in love, humility, and service to others.
5. Water Baptism
We believe in Water Baptism by immersion, as commanded by our Lord in Matthew 28:19. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation — a public declaration of faith and obedience to Jesus Christ. It symbolizes the believer’s death to sin, burial of the old life, and resurrection into new life with Christ.
6. The Lord’s Supper (Communion)
We believe in regularly partaking of the Lord’s Supper, as instituted by Jesus and recorded in 1 Corinthians 11:23–32. This sacred act is done in remembrance of Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection. It reminds us of the price He paid for our redemption and strengthens our unity as members of His body. As we share the bread and the cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes again. We encourage all believers who have taken baptism and desire to live a holy life to partake in this holy communion.
7. The Blessed Hope – The Rapture
We believe in the Blessed Hope — the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to rapture His Church. As believers, we live in joyful expectation of His return, when the dead in Christ will rise first and those who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air. This hope inspires us to live holy, faithful, and ready for His coming.
8. The Resurrection and Final Judgment
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Those who have accepted Jesus Christ will be raised to everlasting life in the presence of God, while those who have rejected Him will face everlasting separation and judgment. God is just and merciful, and through Christ alone, we have the assurance of eternal life.
