Statement of Faith

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We at Kenosis Centre for Mission and Evangelism affirm -

·                The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead;

·                 The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgment.;

·                The Divine Inspiration and Infallibility of Holy Scripture 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 all men and women subject to God’s wrath and condemnation;

·                 The full Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God; His virgin birth and true and sinless humanity; His death on the cross, bodily resurrection and present reign in heaven and earth;

·                 Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death once for all time of our representative and substitute, Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and men and women;

·                 Justification as God’s act of undeserved mercy, in which sinners are pardoned all their sins, and accepted as righteous in God’s sight, only because of the righteousness of Christ imputed to them, this justification being received by faith alone;

·                 The need for the Holy Spirit to make the work of Christ effective to individual sinners, granting them repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ;

·                 The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all those thus regenerated, producing in them an increasing likeness to Christ in character and behavior, and empowering them for their witness in the world;

·                 One marriage for life that can be dissolved only through the death of one of the spouses and we do not subscribe to the doctrine of  remarriage after divorce during the life time of  one of the spouses;

·                 The one holy universal Church, which is the Body of Christ, and to which all true believers belong;

·                The future personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge all men and women, executing God’s just condemnation on the impenitent and receiving the redeemed to eternal glory.
