Why I'm a Christian
In my late thirties I simply asked God if He existed, God graciously replied to me. After the excitement diminished, I went into a deep state of shock.
Realising the seriousness of what had happened and knowing that I had sinful ways, I knew that I had to make changes in my life immediately.
As I endeavored to get right with God, I discovered He was helping me and I was not expected to do it alone.
What I Believe
I believe the Bible to be divinely inspired and without error 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Man is by nature a sinner from birth Psalms 51:5. Jesus Christ was virgin-born, sinless, died on the cross for our sins, was raised from the dead on the third day and is coming again Matthew 1:18; Hebrews 4:15;
1 Corinthians 15:3-4; John 14:3. Salvation is a free gift, bestowed by God's grace and received by faith Ephesians 2:8-9. Immersion in water of a professed believer is the Bible baptism Acts 8:36-39 and such baptism is symbolic of Christ's death, burial and resurrection Romans 6:1-4. A believer's salvation is secured by Christ alone John 10:27-28. The church is the bride of Christ Ephesians 5:25-33 and the body of Christ I Corinthians 12. The local church is governed by godly men known as elders Titus 1:5ff. The purpose of the church on earth is to fulfil the last command of Jesus Matthew 28:18-20. Christians are endowed with spiritual gifts which enable them to minister in the church Ephesians 4:11ff. The Holy Spirit, whom every believer receives at conversion Ephesians 1:13-14, leads and guides us.
