Humankind:
We are sinners, and that by His death upon the cross the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect atonement for sin, redeeming us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse in our place. (Rom 3:23, John 3:18, Gal 3:13)


FCPO Statment of Faith

The Bible:
We believe the Bible, meaning both the Old
and New Testaments were verbally inspired
by God, and inerrant in the original writings
and that the Bible is the final authority for our
faith and life. (1 Tim 3: 16-17, 1 Peter 1: 20-21)

Faith:
All those who by faith receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour and confess him as Saviour before their fellow men and women become heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ (Rom 10:9-10, Eph 2:8-9, Rom 8:16-17, John 1:12)

God:
There is one God, Holy, eternally existing and
manifesting Himself to us in three persons; Father,
Son, Holy Spirit. God is merciful and loves us, but is
just and must punish sin. (John 3:16, John 14:6, Exodus 34: 6-7, Matt 28)

Christ:
Jesus Christ is God incarnate. He was supernaturally conceived, born of a virgin, was put to death by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, was raised from the dead on the third day, and now sits at the Father’s right hand from where He is coming again, personally, bodily, and visibly to this earth. (Luke 1:25-35, 1 Cor 15:3-4, John 1: 12-14)

Holy Spirit:
The Holy Spirit is God. He indwells all believers having baptized them into the body of Christ at the same time as regeneration.  (Rom 8:9, 1 cor 12: 13-14, Eph 1: 13, Eph 4: 4-5)

Grace:
Eternal life is a free gift and cannot be earned. We are saved by grace through faith and not by our own works.
(Eph 2: 8-9, Rom 6:23)

Judgement:
Those who reject the love of God and the saving work of Jesus Christ will be judged and punished for sin. They will be eternally separated from God. (John 3: 3-6, John 16: 7-11, Jude 14 & 15)
