Our Statements of Faith
Here is a short view of our beliefs at Bethel. These essential truths are the foundation of everything we do as a body at Bethel United Apostolic Church. They are the landmarks of which we jointly believe in.
For more detailed explanations, contact us and we will not hesitate to set you up with a 1-on-1 session to talk.
Here’s what we believe.
-
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both fully God, and fully Man.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16 -
We believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. Therefore, we submit ourselves to its teaching, commit ourselves to do what it says, and yield our lives to become what Jesus Christ desires for us to be.
II Timothy 3:16 -
We know and believe that everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Our basic and fundamental doctrine shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; I Peter 3:20,21; Mark 16:16; Titus 3:5 -
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection).
I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4 -
We believe in the Great Commission commanded to us by Jesus Christ and we are committed to reaching unsaved and unchurched people within our cities and communities, both in Surrey and abroad.
Matt. 28: 16-20 -
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today and tomorrow.
Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10 -
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal suffering.
I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15
