Poor man's systematic theology:
The Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
One eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
Sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
The Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
To receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and commit to His will for our lives.
In order to receive the reconciliation offered by Christ and His sacrifice, God must credit our faith as righteousness and spiritually baptize us into Christ, cause us to be reborn, undergo the washing of regeneration, and be sealed in Christ with the Holy Spirit.
The purpose of the church is for us to serve and be served by one another, to grow in our service to Christ, and collectively act as salt and light for a lost world.
God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
Our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ as credited by God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
