Church of God Beliefs:Church of God Beliefs

We believe in...

The Christian claim that life has always been about loving God and loving others but to begin a relationship with God, and to receive his help to love others, we need to deal with a problem. None of us is perfect. We all commit wrongs which form a barrier between us and God. We need God's forgiveness.

Christianity is unique in believing that God himself came to earth to provide forgiveness for us. As Jesus, he died to take the punishment for all humanity's sin. All God asks is that we acknowledge our sin, repent of it, and put our faith in Jesus, his Son, then forgiveness will be ours for ever.

As an overview, we believe in ...

  • the Inspiration and Authority of the Bible as God's Word

  • the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit

  • the death of Jesus Christ, God's Son, as the only sacrifice for our forgiveness

  • this forgiveness being personally received by repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as personal Saviour

  • the Person of the Holy Spirit living in every believer to teach and guide in the way of serving God

  • the command for believers to be baptised by immersion in water as declaring their allegiance to the Lord Jesus

  • the command for baptised believers to be added to local church of God fellowship

  • the command to continue steadfastly in 'the apostles' teaching, the fellowship, the breaking of the bread and the prayers'
