Our beliefs
are those of the Apostolic Church Movement in NZ.

|
1.
|
The one true and living God who eternally exists in
three persons in unity: Father, Son and Holy |
| |
Spirit. |
|
|
|
|
2.
|
The Divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scriptures. |
| |
|
|
3.
|
The original perfection of creation; the inherent corruptness
of humanity through the Fall; the |
|
|
necessity of repentance and regeneration by grace and
through faith in Christ alone, and the |
|
|
eternal separation from God of the finally unrepentant. |
| |
|
|
4.
|
The virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, triumphant
resurrection, ascension and continuing |
|
|
intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ, His second coming
and eternal Kingdom reign. |
| |
|
|
5.
|
The justification and sanctification of believers through
the finished work of Christ, their |
|
|
security as they remain in Him, and their future resurrection
in an incorruptible body. |
| |
|
|
6.
|
The sacraments of baptism by immersion and of the Lord's
Supper. |
| |

|
The baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers with supernatural
signs, empowering the Church |
|
|
for its mission in the world. |
| |
|
|
8.
|
The gifts of the Holy Spirit for the building up the
Church and ministry to the world. |
| |
|
|

Christ's leadership of the Church through the ascension
ministries of apostles, prophets, |
|
|
evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the unity, maturity
and growth of the Church. |

|

|
The privilege and responsibility of wise stewardship
