the bridge statement of faith

We believe in:

• The verbal inspiration of the Holy Scriptures.
• The eternal existence of one true God who is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• The Saviour of men, the Lord Jesus Christ, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the
    Virgin Mary, very God and very man.
• The creation, test and fall of man, as recorded in Genesis; His total spiritual depravity
    and inability to attain to divine righteousness.
• The Gospel of the Grace of God, how that Christ died for our sins, was buried,
    and rose again the third day for our justification.
• The salvation of sinners by Grace, through faith alone in the perfect and sufficient work
    of Christ on our behalf upon the cross of Calvary excluding all human merit.
• Water baptism of believers by immersion in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• The baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation,
    with the scriptural evidence, namely, speaking in tongues.
• The gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I Corinthians, being exercised and practiced
    as manifest in the early Church.
• The Lord's Supper, as a memorial for believers.
• The healing of the body by Divine Power, or Divine Healing in many aspects
    as manifested in the early Church.
• The eternal life of the believer and the eternal punishment of the unbeliever.
• The Spirit-filled life of separation from the world, and the perfecting of holiness in
    the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith.
• The reality and personality of Satan and demons.
• The reality and ministry of holy angels.
• The personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church.
• In the sanctity of marriage, as a life long exclusive commitment between
    one man and one woman.
