TOUCHING LIVES WITH THE POWER OF GOSPEL
We are an
autonomous, evangelical church, within the Pentecostal movement. We believe that we are called by
God to share Christian care and practical cooperation in carrying out the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ to the East
Indian community in Edmonton, Canada.
We believe that our call is to work in spirit of love and
unity with all true believers in our common ministry within the Kingdom of God.
"Seek
the welfare of the city where I have sent you and pray to the Lord on its behalf for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29:7
We
are founded on the following truth
The
Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. (John 16:13; II Timothy 3:15-17; II Peter 1:21; I Thessalonians
2:13)
That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matt. 28:18; Luke 3:22; John 14:16)
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ,
(John 1:1, 14, 20:28-29; Philippians 2:6-11; Isaiah 9:6; Col. 2:9)
His virgin birth, (Matthew
1:18; Luke 1:34-35; Isaiah 7:14)
His sinless life, (II Cor. 5:21; Heb. 4:15, 7:26-27; I John
3:5; I Peter 2:22)
His miracles, (Matthew 4:23; Luke 6:17-19; John 3:2)
His
vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, (Colossians 1:14, 20; Romans 5:8-9; Ephesians 1:7)
His bodily resurrection, (I Corinthians 15:3-4; Luke 24:4-7; 36-48; Revelation 1:17-18)
His
ascension to the right hand of the Father, (Acts 2:23; 5:30-31; I Peter 3:22)
His personal
return in power and in glory, (Acts 1:11; Philippians 2:9-11; I Thessalonians 1:10; 4:13-18; John 14:1-3)
That justification by faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are absolutely
essential for the salvation of lost and sinful man.
(Romans 3:24-25; John 3:3-7; I
John 5:11-13; Ephesians 2:1-16; Revelation 5:9; Acts 4:23; I Corinthians 6:11)
That the prime agency for
the work of God's Kingdom is the local church functioning under the sovereignty of our Lord Jesus Christ. To the church
have been entrusted the ordinances of Believer's Baptism and the Lord's Supper. (Acts 2:41-47, 16:4-5;
Matthew 16:18; 28:18-20; Ephesians 1:22-23; I Corinthians 12:1; I Corinthians 11:23-26)
In the present ministry
of the Holy Spirit; which includes: the baptism in the Holy Spirit as a distinct experience from regeneration; His indwelling
whereby the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; His supernatural gifting and empowering of the church for its work,
life and worship. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:1-4, 10:44-46; I Corinthians 12, 14)
In the return
of Jesus Christ, to consummate His Kingdom in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the
resurrection of life, and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:28-29; Mark 14:62; II
Thessalonians 1:2-10; Revelation 1:5-7; Revelation 20:4-5, 11-12)
In the spiritual unity of believers in
our Lord Jesus Christ. (John 17:11, 21-23; Romans 12:4-5; Ephesians 4:11-16)
