STATEMENT OF FAITH

WE BELIEVE:

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ, through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
In the bodily resurrection, eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

WE ALSO BELIEVE:

The New Life Pastoral Training Centre in Nairobi, Kenya Africa is founded on the Bible and its revelation of Jesus Christ. Our constitution includes the statement of faith of the Association of Pentecostals in Africa, which all students and teaching staff must subscribe to and which reads as follows:

The Holy Scriptures of the Old and the New Testament (a total of 66 Books) are the Word of God. It is divinely inspired, infallible, inerrant, entirely trustworthy and serves as supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

God is One. The one God is eternally self-existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4-5; Mt. 28:19).

Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord. As God, He was manifest in the flesh. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His work of mediation, and His future personal return in power and glory (Lk. 1:3233; Jn. 1:1-4; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; 6:13-16).

The Holy Spirit is God. As the third Person in the Godhead, He indwells every believer upon conversion and enables the believer to live a holy life, to witness in power, and to work for the Lord Jesus Christ (Act. 5:3-4; Mt. 28:19; Acts. 1:8; Galatians 5:22-26).

Man was made in the image of God and sinless. By choice man fell out of favor into sin. In God’s mercy, salvation comes to every lost and sinful person freely and simply by faith in Jesus Christ Who shed His blood for sin and through regeneration by the Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:26-28; 3:121; Jn.1:11-13, 1Cor. 12:13).

All believers in Jesus Christ are one body, the Church, of which He is the Head (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 2:14-22).

Satan is a fallen angel whose intent is to supplant God and frustrate His purpose and whose ultimate end is consignment to eternal punishment (Lk. 10:17-18; Rev. 20:10).

Bodily resurrection of all the dead will take place someday. Believers in Christ will rise to everlasting blessedness, while unbelievers will rise to judgement and everlasting punishment (Rev. 20:11-15; 2 Cor. 5: 9-10).
