Creed

I believe.

I believe in the supreme authority of but one god, holy and pure, incapable of the will to sin,
Himself one of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Three to be equally worshiped as one, for there is but one god

I believe in His love and how He sent His son to die in our place
While we were still under God's wrath, He sent His son
As a means that we who believe in Him shall live forever
He was treated unjustly, for He was sinless.
He was beaten, and ridiculed for my sake.
To buy my soul, He was crucified, hung on a cross, where He died and entered Hell.
After three days, He rose again from death
After a further forty days He was taken up to be with the Father
All this in order that we might pass over from death to life in His amazing grace

I believe in a second coming of the Son, heralding the end of the present earth

I believe in a second life for those His grace will reach – to worship Him forever in the new heaven and the new earth.
I cannot deny God’s absolute power and authority over everything in Heaven and Earth –
He is in control of all the little things such as every step we take, but also of our salvation, taken from our hands as relief – for I believe that in accepting Him, I was only following a path that He had chosen for me long before. While I chose Him, it is only because He chose me at the first. But I believe that He has a plan for my entire life, not just in regards to my salvation.

I believe that the one true god forgives the sins of all who truly repent and confess

I believe that we, as Christ’s followers, are called to be fishermen
Casting the nets so that God can do His work in bringing others to the light
We are also called to live in peace with one another, to love our neighbours and to love God.

This is what I believe – A statement of my faith declaring the supreme authority of God, His gift of the Holy Spirit and the saving work of His son, Jesus Christ, crucified for sins I and my fathers had committed, and a gift we did not deserve.

Amen.
