- The Local Church of Christian Centre "KANAAN" -
Statement of faith
We are Evangelical Church which included many christian denominations.
Evangelical Churches believe in:
1) The authority and sufficiency of Scripture.
2) The uniqueness of redemption by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins.
3) The need for personal conversion.
4) The need for evangelization leading to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE :
That the Bible is God's Word. It is inspired, infallible, accurate, authoritative and applicable to our every day lives. Also it is highest and ultimate authority in all things concerning believing and doing,
That there is 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,
In Jesus Christ's Divinity, His born from virgin, His true and full humanity, His sinless life, His full of authority and power teaching, His suffering and death through overflow His blood for recompence of our sins, His rise from death, His siting on the right side of God, His stand up for us and His next coming for His Church,
In Dignity of Holy Spirit, who comes from Father and Son, which goal is to convince of sin, righteousness and judgement, and in that He is giving to believers the strenght for winning life, for ministry, for worshiping God and for evangelism,
In sinfull nature of all people, which brings them God's Wrath and condemnation,
In need of salvation through repent towards God, in need of confess own sins and invite Jesus Christ to own heart. Justification is a God's grace revealing in Jesus's work giving redemption, which may be accepted only by faith, and it is confirmed by fruit of the Spirit and holy life,
In two sacraments founded by Jesus Christ: believer's baptism in water and partaking the Lord's Supper for reminder of His death untill His coming back again,
In service gifts, which Jesus found in His Church - the main are: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers and also in today's working of Holy Spirit's various gifts described in New Testament,
In spiritual unity and common priesthood of all who believe in Jesus Christ, who form one Church, which is a Body of Christ on Earth,
In Lord's Jesus visible return in body,
In dead's resurection for Last Judgement,
In eternal happiness of righteous and in eternal condemnation of wicked.
