MCS Faith Statement - What do we believe?

We specifically affirm the following doctrinal statements.

This doctrinal statement reflects the broad, mainstream, conservative evangelical tradition which is consistent with the teachings of the Bible and which has stood the test of history and experience.

We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men God “were moved by the Holy Spirit” to write the very words of Scripture. The Bible is therefore without error (inerrant) in its original manuscripts.

God has supernaturally preserved the Bible, and it is the sole and final authority for faith and life providing encouragement, guidance, comfort and instruction for training in righteousness (2 Timothy. 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21).

We believe in one true God eternally in three distinct persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) each of Whom is fully and equally God; possessed all of the divine nature and attributes,

and is totally worthy of our worship and service (Deut. 6:4, Matt.28:18, John.1:14, 10:30; 2Cor.13:14).

We believe that God the Father is the person of the Trinity and is the eternal, unchanging, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-wise, all-loving, completely just and perfectly holy, sovereign Ruler and Sustainer of the universe.

He is the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and the Father of all true believers (Gen 1:1; Eph 1:6; John 1:12-13, 5:19-21, 17:1-5, Is 40:21-28; 43:210-13; 46:8-11; Rom.8:14-16).

We believe that Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity and is the only begotten eternal Son of God Who became flesh to reveal God to man, to fulfil prophecy, and to become the saviour of the lost world. In becoming man Jesus not cease in any way to be God so that He is fully God and fully man inseparably united in one person forever.
Jesus was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit; born of the Virgin Mary; lived a sinless life; died on the cross as the substitutionary, all-sufficient atoning sacrifice for all of the sins of all men of all time; was buried;

bodily rose from dead; physically ascended into heaven in His glorified, resurrection body, is seated at the right hand of the Father performing His ministry of intercession; will return in the air to claim His bride the Church; and come again to earth in bodily form, personally and visibly, to conclude human and consumed God’s eternal plan by executing judgement and ushering in His Millennial Kingdom reign to be followed by the eternal state John 1:1,14,18; 3:16; Luke 1:30-35; Phil 2:5-8; Col. 2:3,9; Mark 10:45; Acts 2:22-24; John 2:1; Acts 1:11; Heb 9:28; 1 Thess 4:13-18; 2 Thess 2:7; Matt 24:44; Rev 19:11-21; Rev 21-22.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Third person of the Trinity Who specially came into the world on the day of Pentecost to glorify Christ and to enable men to appropriate the salvation wrought by Christ. He is the primary agent for the conviction of sin and for regeneration Simultaneously with salvation, the Holy Spirit imparts new life, baptizes the believer into the body of Christ (His Church), permanently indwells the believer, and securely seals the believer unto the day of redemption. The Holy Spirit fills

(directs and controls) those believers unto are yielded to Him, enables believers to bear fruit, and empowers to live a life free from sin’s dominion. We also believe that the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to believers for the purpose of edifying the church in accordance with the teachings of Scripture (1Cor 13:8; John 16:7-15; 1 Cor 6:19; 12:13; Eph 1:13-14; 4:30; Gal 5:16-17; 22-23; Rom 8:5-13; 1 Peter 4:10-11; Rom 12:3-8).

We believe that the man was created in the image of God by a directed act of God and did not come into being as the result evolution. The man was created to glorify God, worship and serve Him, and have fellowship with Him. The man fell through sin by disobeying God, thus incurring both physical and Spiritual

death, which alienated him from God. Man’s nature was thus corrupted and he is utterly lost, “dead in trespasses and sins,” and totally incapable of saving himself and coming back into right relationship with God by his own merit or effort (Gen 1:26; 2:6,17; 3:17-24; Is 59:1-2; Rom 3:9,23; 56:6-8; Luke 18:26-27; Eph 2:1-3).

We believe that Satan is the instigator of evil and a real spirit being, not simply the personification of evil. He is a fallen angel who, under the sovereign permission of God, has been given temporary rulership of the earth. He was utterly defeated at the cross, but the execution of his judgement has been postponed by God until after the Millennial Kingdom when he will be cast

into the eternal lake of fire. In the meantime, he deceives the world and seeks to establish his counterfeit kingdom on earth to discredit and blaspheme God and to tempt, accuse, attack and destroy believers. He can be resisted by the believer through faith and reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit (Gen 3:1; Is 14:12-17; Ezek 28:11-19; Job 1:2; 1John 5:19; 2Cor 11:14; 1Tim 3:6; 1 Peter 5:8-9; James 4:7; Rev 12:9; 20:1-3; 7-10).

We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sins and salvation, which is the free gift of God’s grace. Salvation is effected by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit and cannot be secured by man’s works or personal merit. Salvation is only appropriated by a person placing his faith in the finished work of Christ Repentance is a turning toward God and away from sin and is a part of but not

separate from believing faith. “The Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” and those who receive Jesus Christ by faith and born again, have their sins forgiven, become children of God, are a new creation in Christ, and “are sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption”, being kept by the power of God.( Eph 1:7; 13-14; John 1:12-13; 3:1-7; 14-16; 2 Cor 5:17; Rom 1:16; 10:9-10; Eph 2:8-10; Rom 8:14-17; 31-39; John 10:27-29; 14:6; Acts 26:20; 1 Peter 1:3-5).

We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself and should, by the power of the indwelling Spirit, allow Christ to manifest His life through him to God’s glory. By ever increasing obedience to the Word of God, each believer should mature and progressively become more like Jesus. In the power of the Spirit, each believer should live a holy life; not

fully the lusts of the flesh; exercise his Spiritual gifts to build up the body of Christ; witness for Christ; be personally involved in making disciples to fulfil the great commission; performs good works and bear fruit to the glory of the God. (Gal.2:20; 1Pet 1:15-16; 2:11; 2 Cor 5:14-15; Rom 6:11-13; Eph 2:10; 4:11-12; 4:22-24; i Peter 4:10-11; Acts 1:8; Matt 28:18-20; Col 1:10; John 15:8,16).

We believe that the church is the body of Christ of which Jesus is the Head and whose members are those who believe who have truly received Christ by faith. The local church is a tangible expression of the body of Christ in a particular location. Since all members of the body of Christ are united in Christ by the same Spirit, they should live in love, harmony and unity intent

on the same purpose and accepting those sectarian or denominational practices are based on a sincere interpretation of the Bible, which do not relate to substantive matters, and which do not in practice cause disunity or hinder the ministry. The purpose of the Church is to make Christ known to lost men, to make disciples, and glorify God on earth (Acts 1:8; 1Cor 12;12-27; Eph 1:20-23; 4:1-6; 4:12-16; Matt 28:18-20; John 17; Col 1:24-29).

We follow primarily two ordinances of the church recognized by Scripture are water baptism and the Lord’s supper. Water baptism by immersion is an act of obedience following salvation which symbolically pictures the believer’s death to sin burial of the old Life, and resurrection to new life.

The Lord’s supper celebrates fellowship and communion with Christ, symbolically commemorates His death, and anticipates His second coming (Matt 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Luke 22:19-20; 1Cor 11:23-28; Rom 6:3-4)

We believe that death every believer consciously and immediately centers into the presence and fellowship of the Lord to wait for the physical resurrection and glorification of his body at Christ’s return. The believer will thus enjoy life eternal with God – fellowship, serving and worshipping Him forever (2 Cor 5:6; 1 Cor 15:12-58; Luke 23:39-43; 1 Thess 4:13-18; John 3:16; Rev 21-22).

We believe that at death every unbeliever consciously and immediately enters into separation from the Lord to wait for the physical resurrection of his body to everlasting condemnation, Judgement and punishment (Luke 16:19-31; John 3:18-36; Rev 20:5; 11-15; 2 Thess 1:5-10).

We believe the next prophetic event will be the rapture of the Church when the Lord Jesus Christ will return in the air to receive unto Himself all Church Age believers (John 14:1-3; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Cor 15:51-52; ! Thess 4:13-18; Phil 3:20-21. The rapture of the Church will be followed by the seven-year Great Tribulation period in fulfillment of Daniel 9:24-27 and as described In Rev 6:1-19,21 during which Israel will be purified, the whole world tested, and wrath of God poured out against sin (Jer 30:7; Matt 24; Rev 3:10; 1 Thess 5:9-11).
We believe that the end of the Great Tribulation the Lord Jesus Christ is His second coming will personally and physically return to

the earth just as He ascended with great power and glory to execute judgement and usher in the Millennial Kingdom, during which He will reign on earth for 1000 years with righteousness, justice and peace to fulfill God’s covenant promise to Israel (Acts 1:8-11; Rev 19:11-21; Ezek 37:21-28; Is 11:9; Rev 20:1-6).

We believe that the 1000 years reign of Christ on earth will be followed by the final judgement of Satan when he is cast into the lake of fire forever; the Great White Throne Judgement and bodily resurrection for unbelievers; the creation of a new heaven and new earth; and the eternal state (Rev 20-22; 2Pet 3:1-14).

We believe that at death every unbeliever consciously and immediately enters into separation from the Lord to wait for the physical resurrection of his body to everlasting condemnation, Judgement and punishment (Luke 16:19-31; John 3:18-36; Rev 20:5; 11-15; 2 Thess 1:5-10).
