Statement of Faith

1. We believe in the bible as the inspired Word of God without error and as final authority for our Christian life. (2 Tm. 3:16)

2. We believe in One God in Three Divine Persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

3. We believe that Jesus Christ is the begotten Son of God the Father, who was made flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit through the virginal womb of Mary. We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true Man.

4. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person who convicts man of sin and judgment, that He is our Teacher of righteousness and our Comforter. He is not a force, an energy or thing.

5. We believe that man is created in the image and likeness of God but fell into sin and lost his divine character, attribute and innocence and that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone and only through the regeneration of the spirit that salvation and forgiveness of sins are attained.

6. We believe the shed blood of Jesus Christ as the basis and ground for justification and salvation of all believers.

7. We believe that the Church is an organized group of people who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Lord of the Church.

8. We believe that Jesus Christ, although God who was made flesh, allowed Himself to experience the pain of human suffering; that He assumed man’s human nature in order to redeem man; that He took upon Himself the sins of mankind and bought man by His blood. He was crucified, died and was buried but rose again on the third day as a sign of His victory over death and hell. And after 40 days He ascended into heaven and sat onto the right hand throne of God the Father.

9. We believe that all the believers of Jesus Christ who died will be resurrected on the last day to inherit glorified bodies of immortality and eternal life while the believers who remain on earth on that Day will never taste death but will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air for His coming while the unbelievers who died will also be resurrected to receive judgment of eternal punishment in the lake of fire.

Three Kinds of People In This World With Regards To Faith

1.) SKEPTICS: These people do not believe anything regarding God: the working of miracles, healing, working of the Holy Spirit, prophecy about the future, God answering prayers, the future life, the authority of Bible and even God Himself. They only believe in the things of this world. They are worldly and always want to satisfy their own passions and flesh. They would rather believe the theory of the scientists than the sayings of the Word of God and the ministers of the Gospel. They believe the teachings of intelligent men based on their judgment and understanding alone. In other words, they just believe in this present life and question the truth about the future life / next life / eternal life. Their slogan is ‘’to see is to believe.’’

2.) CREDULUOUS PEOPLE:

These people are exactly the opposite of the SKEPTICS. They will almost believe anything that they hear. If someone says there is a ‘’miracle’’ in the near barrio or town they will easily believe him and will rush to the said barrio or town. They easily get fooled by people who just want to take advantage of them. Filipinos are naturally religious and when they are in great trouble they would seek some Higher Beings to help them. Before the Spaniards came, they had already been worshipping spirits and nature that’s why they were called ‘’animists.’’ Today, you will see Filipinos in both the urban and rural areas gathering in one place, seeking cure of their illnesses from a ‘’psychic healer’’ or the like. They would easily believe these ‘’healers’’ because it is free of charge. Don’t get surprised if you even see respectable men and women looking for cure from these so-called ‘’healers.’’ It is said that if a person is desperate to find a solution to a certain problem, he would look for anything possible in order to solve his problems. They also claim that they have been really healed by these ‘’healers.’’ ‘’My people perish for lack of knowledge’’ (Hos.4:6). These so-called ‘’psychic healers’’ can really cure sickness and disease but through the aid of evil spirits who help these mediums. 

3.) BELIEVERS: These people are the Christians. They are neither skeptics nor credulous people. They examine every situation with regards to faith based on God’s Word. They are not skeptics because they believe in God through faith, trust in His Word, healing, miracles, the authority of the bible and eternal life. On the other hand, they are not like the credulous people who easily believe anything that they hear and see. Christians look for answers with their problems in the light of God’s word and through the help of mature Christian believer or a pastor. They pray first to guide their decision-making before they make any decision. Although they still sin, they are striving hard with God’s help and grace to live a holy and righteous life. People sometimes ridicule them because of their faith but they still continue to fight and deepen their faith in God. In the end, they stand victoriously.
