PCP INTRODUCTION
Statement of Faith
We believe in one true God, revealed to us as Father , Son and Holy Spirit. We also believe that within the Being of God exist three eternally distinct and coequal persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that man was created by and in the image of God. We also believe that God created the heavens and earth, including all life. Through the fall of Adam that image was defiled, therefore we are all born in sin.
God in His love initiated the plan of salvation by sending His only begotten son. Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, took upon Himself human nature and was born of the Virgin Mary. He became a true man, uniting two natures in one person forever. Jesus through his death on the Cross and bodily resurrection has provided Justification for our sin. We receive it through God's grace by Faith alone.
The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son and dwells in the hearts of the believers. The Holy Spirit affects our regeneration and works for our Sanctification. The Holy Spirit also empowers us to bear witness to other people.
We believe that the Bible, composed of the Old and New Testament, in its entirety is an inspired and infallible Word of God. It is therefore the final authority of faith and practice for every believer.
We believe that Christ has established a visible Church. The church is composed of all believers, who through faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. True worship, fellowship, administration of sacraments and the work of evangelism identify the Church.
