OUR BELIEFS
Australian Christian Churches - acc.org.au
  • We believe in the unity of the true and living God who is the eternal, self-existent one, who has revealed Himself as one being in three persons - Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
  • We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who was and is the eternal Son of God; that He became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin Mary.
  • We believe in the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son, and is ever present and active in the work of convicting, sanctifying and guiding the believer into all truth.
  • We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, namely the Old and New Testaments in their original writings. The Bible does not simply contain the Word of God, but is, in reality, the complete revelation and very Word of God.
  • We believe in the devil as a fallen angel, who seeks out to destroy the faith of every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We believe that man was created by God in His image and likeness, morally upright and perfect, but fell by voluntary transgression. Consequently, all men are seperated from original righteousness.
  • We believe that God's answer to man's sinful state is the death of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, on the cross as our Saviour.
  • We believe that salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We believe that the church is the body of Christ and the habitation of God through the Spirit.
  • We believe that baptism, by single immersion, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, is enjoined on all who have repented and have believed in Christ as Saviour and Lord.
  • We believe that the Lord's Supper or communion, consisting of the elements of bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We believe that sanctification is an act of seperation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God.
  • We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is the bestowing of the believer with power to be an effective witness for Christ.
  • We believe in operating in the 9 supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, as recorded in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.
  • We believe that divine healing for the body has been provided for us by the atoning death and victorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We believe in the return of our Lord Jesus Christ to gather His people to Himself.
  • We believe in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to set up His millennial reign on this earth.
  • We believe in the everlasting punishment of the wicked who wilfully reject the love of God.
  • We believe, according to His promise, a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
  • We believe that the heavens and earth and all original life forms, including humanity, were made by the creative acts of God.
