New Life Church Statement of Faith

This statement describes the fundamental beliefs held by the Church and its members. You will find that most bible believing Christian Churches have a similar set of doctrines which reflect our faith as Christians.

Each person of the Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit being co-equal, co-eternal and in perfect unity in the one Godhead and that there is no other true or living God.

The sovereignty of God in Creation, Providence, Redemption and His Righteousness in Final Judgement.

The divine inspiration and entire infallibility of the Bible (both the Old and New testaments) as originally given and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the Fall, rendering man subject to God's righteous anger and judgement.

The forgiveness of sins and freedom from the guilt penalty and power of sin solely through the sacrificial death of our Lord Jesus Christ in our place, and the gift of eternal life to all who believe in him.

The incarnation and the Virgin Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, His sinless life, His miraculous ministry, His resurrection from the dead, His ascension to heaven to be our mediator and the certainty of His visible and personal return with great glory.

The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of our Lord Jesus Christ effective to the individual sinner, giving new spiritual birth without which no-one can enter the Kingdom of God.
