Pastor Pete's Perspective

Pastor Pete - Statement of Faith

I believe and trust in –

  • The divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scriptures.
  • The one and living God, eternally existent in three persons in unity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • The inherent corruptness of man through the fall, the necessity for repentance, the regeneration by grace through faith alone, and the eternal separation from God of the finally unrepentant.
  • The Virgin Birth, the sinless life and atoning death, the triumphant resurrection and ascension, and the abiding intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • The justification and sanctification of the believer at the throne of God through faith in the finished work of Christ.
  • The Sacraments of Baptism in Water by immersion and the Lord’s Supper.
  • The security of the believer as he or she abides in Christ.
  • The Baptism of the Holy Spirit for the believer and the current availability of all the Biblically evidenced Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Charismata) relevant for today.
  • The sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling power the believer is enabled to live a holy life.
  • Church government and leadership by Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Elders and Deacons.
  • The personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead and the eternal fellowship with Christ of all born-again believers.
  • The recognition of the Body of Christ as made up of all born-again, on-going believers, regardless of denomination.
  • The ultimate work of restoration, in all aspects, through faith in the finished work of Christ.
