Statement of Faith

Mahanaim City Church Limited believes in all of the following:

1. THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD
We believe that the Bible, comprising the Old and New Testaments, is the true
inspired Word of God fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.

2. THE HOLY TRINITY (THE TRIUNE GOD)
We believe in the One True and Living God who is Eternal and Self-Existent and has revealed
Himself in three Persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

3. THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS
We believe in the Virgin Birth, Sinless Life, Miraculous Ministry, Substitutionary Atoning
Death, Bodily Resurrection, Triumphant Ascension and Abiding Intercession of the Lord
Jesus Christ and in His personal, visible, bodily return in power and glory as the blessed
hope of all believers.

4. THE FALL OF MAN
We believe in the fall of man, who was created pure and upright, but fell by voluntary
transgression.

5. SALVATION THROUGH FAITH
We believe in salvation through faith in Christ, who, according to the Scriptures, died for
our sins, was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, and that through His
Blood, we have Redemption.

6. NEW BIRTH
We believe in the spiritual experience of new birth which is an instantaneous and complete
operation of the Holy Spirit upon initial faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

7. BAPTISM BY IMMERSION IN WATER
We believe that all who have truly repented from their sins and believed in Jesus Christ as their
Lord and Saviour are commanded to be baptised by immersion in water.

8. BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an enduement of the believer with power
for service, the essential and biblical evidence of which is the speaking in other tongues as
the Spirit gives utterance.

9. GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of Christ in the
Church today.

10. HOLINESS OF LIFE
We believe in holiness of life and conduct in obedience to the command of God.

11. BREAKING OF BREAD
We believe that all who have truly repented and believed in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour
should regularly participate in the Breaking of Bread.

12. RESURRECTION OF ALL WHO TRULY BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men and women, the everlasting conscious bliss of all
who truly believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, and the everlasting conscious punishment of all
whose names are not written in the Book of Life.
