Doctrines

Doctrinal Statement of Faith

What we believe:

THE BIBLE

ANCC believes in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as inspired of God, and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Acts 17:11; Isaiah 8:20).

God The Father

ANCC believes in God the Father - Creator of heaven and earth, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom and measureless in power. God hears and answers prayer. He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:48; Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:3; Nehemiah 9:6; Hebrews 1:2-3; Psalm 103:19; Ephesians 1:11; 1 Kings 8:27; Psalm 90:2).

Jesus Christ

We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, sinless in His life, and making atonement for the sin of the world by His shed blood and death on the cross. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, and His high priestly intercession for His people. We believe in His personal, visible and triumphant return to the world according to His promise. (Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:14; Hebrews 10:9; John 1:29; 1 John 2:1-2; John 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; and Acts 1:11).

Salvation

We believe that, God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NIV) We believe that all who receive, by faith, Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord are born again of the Holy Spirit and, therefore, become children of God. We believe that justification means that a person is declared righteous in the sight of God by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. (John 1:12; Romans 3:21-26; Ephesians 1:13; 2:8-10).

Salvation

We believe that every human being has responsibility to God alone in all matters of faith, in accordance with the Scriptures, Jesus Christ will come again to reign on Earth and at the final judgement will judge each man individually for what he has believed, done, said and thought (Romans 14:11-12).

God

ANCC believes that God Almighty is the one and only true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from God to convict the world of sin, to convince the world of righteousness, and of judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ, enabling believers to live holy lives, to witness and work for Christ. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as a subsequent gift to salvation, as well as the ministry and gifts of the Holy Spirit to believers (John 15:26; John 16:8-11; Romans 6:3-6; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; and 1 Peter 1:1-3).

Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are sinners by nature and by choice. (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:15-17; and Romans 3:10-12, 23).

Status in Eternity

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in Heaven, and the everlasting, conscious punishment of the unsaved in Hell (Matthew 25:46).

The Church

We believe in the Church - a living, spiritual body in which Christ is the Head and of which all regenerated people are members. We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for the purpose of leading believers toward maturity through worship, instruction, prayer, fellowship and evangelism.

We believe that Christ has committed to the local church, the ordinances of Baptism and Communion to be observed until He comes, and that Christ has committed to the church the responsibility to proclaim to a lost world their need to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and to recognize Him as Lord. We believe that human betterment and social improvement are essential products of the Gospel. (Ephesians 1:22-23; Romans 6:3-5; Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; and John 8:31-32)
