The Bible
is the Word of God
We take the
Bible seriously and find from many years of experience that the Bible is a
most awesome book. We call it the Word of God, because through the Bible
we find out about God, who He is, why He created and best of all, how to
come into a personal relationship with Him. The Bible is a spiritual book:
it reveals God, who is Spirit, to us.
Prayer
We are
people who pray much, taking all our own needs to God in prayer and
praying for the needs of others also. We follow the Bible way of laying
hands on the sick and praying for healing. We find that the power and
spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit are imparted through the laying on of
hands.
Preach
the Gospel
We simply
seek to obey what Jesus said to do in the Bible. We preach the gospel to
all people to whom God sends us.
Baptism
When people
come to believe in Jesus we baptize them in water. It is a very
significant step for a person to take, to become a baptized believer. It
means a real change has come into the person's life.
Receiving the Holy Spirit
We then ask
for the gift of the Holy Spirit to be given to the newly baptized
believer. This means receiving the supernatural power of God into our
human spirit, enabling us to be like Jesus.
Becoming a
Disciple
Each born
again Christian is able to follow the Lord personally, reading the Bible
and communicating with God directly through prayer. After a time of
discipleship, that is, training in the word of God and being able to
exercise the gifts of the Holy Spirit, each person is then equipped to
effectively reach out to others and share the gospel with them in a
powerful way.
