Statement of Faith

The Faith Foundation of Grace Church in Bukit Mertajam

Statement of Faith

The Doctrinal Basis of the Church are the fundamental truths of Christianity.

1

We believe in the divine inspiration, infallibility and inerrancy of the whole Bible as originally given; and in its supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life.

2

We believe in the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.

3

We believe in the sovereignty of God in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and final judgement.

4

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ; in His birth of the virgin Mary; in His real and proper, but sinless humanity; in His miracles; in His substitutionary, expiatory death in that He gave His life a ransom for many; in His bodily resurrection from the dead; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and in His personal return in power and glory.

5

We believe in the universal sinfulness and guilt of the human nature since the Fall, rendering man subject to God s wrath and condemnation.

6

We believe that redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin is only through the sacrificial death (as our Representative and Substitute) of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God.

7

We believe that man is justified solely by the grace of God through faith in the finished redemptive work of Christ; and that genuine faith produces the fruits of good works, love, righteousness and holiness.

8

We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit in the individual s life bringing about repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ.

9

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a godly life of service.

10

We believe in the one holy, universal Church which is the body of Christ and to which all true believers belong.
