Lord of Hosts
Statement of Faith


Salvation by Grace - We believe in salvation by grace.  This is a free gift from God, given to all who believe in His son Jesus the Christ. And accept Him as the Lord of their life (Matthew 16:21-26, John 3:16, John 14:6, Act 4:12, Roman 10:9-13, Ephesians 2:4-9 and  1 John 9:12)
 
Deity if Christ - We believe in the Deity of our Lord, Christ Jesus.  Jesus is God incarnate, and was manifest in human flesh.  He was like us in all ways except for one, being free from sin. (Isaiah 9:6-7, John 1:1-14, John 5:22-23,  John 8:54-58, and John 10:30)
 
Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God  - We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.  The Word of God is eternal and unborken.  (Numbers 23:16-19, John 1:1-14, II Timothy 3:15-17).

Water Baptism - We believe that all believers should receive water baptism, as a demonstration of our faith, and in obedience to the commandment  of our Lord.  This act represents a commitment by the believer and should  be accompanied by a renewal and sanctification via the Holy Spirit.  Water Baptism is an outward symbol of spiritual identification with His death, burial and resurrection.

Fruits and Gifts of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit, for the edification of the body of believers; and enabling the believer to live a life pleasing to God.

Bodily Resurrection of the Saints to Eternal Life
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saints to eternal life.  (John 5:25-29, 1 Corinthians 15: 51-55)

Second Coming of Jesus Christ
We believe in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 24: 1 ; 44, John 14:1-3,  Act 1:9-11,  1 Corinthians 15: 20-24,   1 Thessalonians 4:15-17,  1 Thessalonians 5:1-3, II Thessalonians 2:1-4,  Titus 2:11-13).

Salvation by Grace
We believe in salvation by grace.  This is a  free, gift from God,  given to all who believe in the His son Jesus, the Christ, and accept Him as the Lord of their life. (John 14:6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. 1 John 5: 9-12 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: For this is the witness of God  which he hath testified of His Son.  10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: He that believeth not God hath the witness in himself: He that believeth not God hath made him a liar : because he believeth not the record that God gave of HIs son.  11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal Life, and this is in His son.  12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not Life.

God Exist in Three Person - The Trinity
There is one God in whom are three eternal distinct simultaneous person - the Father the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. All three are  the one God, coeternal, coequal etc., yet there is only one God - not three gods - and not one person who took three modes, offices or forms.  (Isaiah 44:68; 45:5, Genesis 1:26-27; 3:22, Matthew 3:17, 28:19, Luke 9:35, and 1 Corinthians 13:14).

Virgin Birth of Christ
We believe that our Lord was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-23).

Christ Died for our Sins
We believe in the vicarious atoning death of Jesus, who died on the cross so that we might live - offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice for sinful man (Romans 5:6-10, 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10).

Bodily Resurrection and Ascension of Christ
We believe that Christ is the risen Saviour Jesus raised from the dead, ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father
(Act 1: 8-11, Romans 8:31-35).
