ARTICLES
OF FAITH
I believe:
By Pastor Noah Quarshie
In the verbal and
plenary inspiration of the original manuscripts of the Old and
New Testaments, which constitute the inerrant Word of God. The
supreme and final authority for faith and life.
In the triune God:
One God eternally existing in the three equal persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.
In the deity, virgin
birth, sinless life, substitutionary death, and bodily resurrection
and imminent, pre-tribulation and pre-millennial coming of Christ.
In the personality
of the Holy Spirit by whom believers are called, regenerated,
baptized into Christ, indwelt, sealed and filled for service.
I do not believe that speaking in tongues is indispensable evidence
of the filling of the Holy Spirit.
In the direct creation
of the Universe and man by God apart from any process of evolution.
In the fall, total
depravity and guilt of the human race in Adam which for man’s
salvation necessitated the sovereign, divinely initiated deliverance
of the sinner by the grace of God in Christ.
In the eternal salvation
of all individuals who put their faith in Christ, whose blood
was shed for the remission of sins.
In the unity of
all true believers in the church which is the Body of Christ
of which he is the sole head.
In the local church
as a company of baptized believers, independent and self-governing,
which should fellowship with other churches of like faith and
order. It is the responsibility of the local church to observe
the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s supper, edify the believers
and evangelize the World. I believe that the only biblical mode
of believer’s baptism is immersion, and that it is to be administered
in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The ordinance
of baptism is for believers only and it is a pre-requisite for
church membership. The officers of the New Testament are Pastors/Elders
and Deacons.
In the priesthood
of all believers and the right of every individual to have direct
dealings with God, I believe in individual soul liberty.
In the obedience
to the biblical command to separate from worldliness and ecclesiastical
apostasy unto God.
In the separation
of church and state with each believer having responsibility
to both.
In the personal
existence of angels, Satan and demons.
In the bodily resurrection,
immortality and pre-tribulation rapture of all believers at
Christ’s imminent coming.
In the bodily resurrection
and judgment of unbelievers after the millennial reign of Christ.
In the eternal life
and blessedness of all believers in heaven and the eternal punishment
of all unbelievers in the lake of fire.
