Emmanuel Christian Fellowship     

 WE BELIEVE -That the bible (i.e. the Old and new Testaments excluding the
Apocrypha) is the inspired Word of God. 2 Tim 3: 15-16; 2 Peter 1: 21.

WE BELIEVE -In the unity of the One True and Living God Who is the
Eternal, Self-existent "I AM", Who has also revealed Himself as One Being
in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Deut. 6: 4; Mark 12: 29:
Matt. 28: 19.

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
Pre-millennial Second Advent as the blessed hope set before all believers.
Isa. 7: 14; Matt. 1: 23; Heb. 7: 26; 1 Pet. 2: 22; Acts 2: 22; Acts 10:
38; 2 Cor. 5: 21; Heb. 9: 12; Luke 24: 39; 1 Cor 15: 4; Acts 1: 9; Eph. 4:

WE BELIEVE -In the fall of man, who was created pure and upright, but fell
by voluntary transgression. Gen. 1: 26-31; Gen. 3: 1-7; Rom. 5: 12-21.

WE BELIEVE -In salvation through faith in Christ, Who died for our sins
according to the scriptures, was buried and was raised from among the dead
on the third day according to the Scriptures, and through His blood we
have Redemption. Tit. 2: 11; Tit. 3: 5-7; Rom. 10: 8-15; 1 Cor. 15: 3-4.
This experience is also known as the New Birth, and is an instantaneous
and complete operation of the Holy Spirit upon initial faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ. John 3: 5-6; James 1: 18; 1 Pet. 1: 23; 1 John 5: 1.

WE BELIEVE - That baptism by immersion in water is enjoined upon all who
have really repented and have truly believed with all their hearts in
Christ as Saviour and Lord. Matt. 28: 19; Acts 10: 47-48; Acts 2: 38-39.

WE BELIEVE - In the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the initial evidence of
which, is the speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
Acts 2: 4; Acts 10: 44-46; Acts 11: 14-16; Acts 19: 6; Isa. 8: 18.

WE BELIEVE - That the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Offices, have been
set by God in the Church, as recorded in the New Testament. 1 Cor. 12:
4-11; 1 Cor. 12: 28; Eph. 4: 7-16.

WE BELIEVE - In holiness of life and conduct in obedience to the command
of God "Be ye holy for I am holy". 1 Pet. 1: 14-16; Heb. 12: 14; 1 Thess.
5: 23; 1 John 2: 6; 1 Cor 13.

WE BELIEVE - That deliverance from sickness, by Divine Healing, is
provided for in the Atonement. Isa. 53: 4-5; Matt. 8: 16-17; James 5:
13-16.

WE BELIEVE - That Breaking of Bread is enjoined upon all believers until
the Lord comes. Luke 22: 14-20; 1 Cor. 11; 20-34.

WE BELIEVE -In the bodily resurrection of all men, the everlasting
conscious bliss of all who truly believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and that
the everlasting conscious punishment is the portion of all whose names are
not written in the Book of Life. John 5: 28-29; 1 Cor. 15: 22-24; Dan. 12:
2-3; 2 Thess. 1: 9; Rev. 20: 10-15.
