About this listen

Pastor Luke continues by anchoring the church in its statement of faith and the truth of Holy Bible—especially Romans 6:23—emphasizing that salvation is a gift of grace and that true Christianity is rooted in a surrendered relationship with God, not religious performance.

  1. Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8–9), received through personal repentance from sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Mark 1:15; Acts 16:31). In salvation, the believer is justified (Romans 5:1), adopted into God’s family (Galatians 4:4–5), redeemed from the penalty of sin (Ephesians 1:7), and reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:18–19). True saving faith will produce a life of obedience, perseverance, and good works (James 2:17; 1 John 2:3–6).

  1. The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity, fully God and co-equal with the Father and the Son (Acts 5:3–4). He convicts the world of sin (John 16:8), regenerates and indwells every believer at conversion (Titus 3:5–6; Romans 8:9), and empowers them for holy living and ministry (Galatians 5:16–25; Acts 1:8). He sovereignly distributes spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:4–7; Ephesians 4:11–13).
