We Believe
We, at Prayer Links do hereby set forth the substances of the Christian faith commonly held among us.
doing so, we build upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself
being the Chief Cornerstone. We affirm our belief in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments
as the primary source of ultimate standard of Christian faith and life.
We present the accompanying statement as a brief summary of our common faith and commend it to
studious attention as substance agreeable to the teaching of the Holy Scriptures:
TENET (1) Of God
We believe that there is one God, externally existent in Three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
TENET (2) Of the Scriptures
We believe the Bible to be the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God. As such,
it is absolutely supreme and all-sufficient in all matters of faith and practice.
TENET (3) Of the Sin of Man
We believe that our first parents, Adam and Eve, being tempted of Satan, fell away from God; that,
by reason of this disobedience, sin passed unto all men.
TENET (4) Of the Grace of God
We believe that God, out of His great love for the world, gave His only begotten Son to be the
Saviour of sinners, and in the Gospel which freely offers His all-sufficient salvation to all.
TENET (5) Of the Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless human life, in His
miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in
His glorious ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His future personal, visible and bodily
return in power and glory.
TENET (6) Of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and the
Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgement. His ministry is to regenerate, seal,
sanctify, fill, empower and equip with spiritual gifts those who believe in Jesus Christ, enabling
them to live a Christ-like life.
TENET (7) Of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit --an experience
distinct from and subsequent to the new birth.
TENET (8) Of Regeneration
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration (being born again) by the Holy
Spirit is absolutely essential. Salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received
personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
TENET (9) Of Faith and Repentance
We believe that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ, and that this saving faith is always
accompanied by repentance, whereby we forsake our sins and live in new obedience to God.
TENET (10) Of Justification and Sonship
We believe that God, on the sole ground of the perfect obedience and sacrifice of Christ, pardons
those who by faith receive Him as their Saviour and Lord; accepts them as righteous and bestows
upon them the adoption of sons, whereby we call God, Father.
TENET (11) Of the Ministry
We believe that Jesus Christ, as the Supreme Head of the Church, has appointed the five-fold
ministry: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers for the perfecting of the saints,
for the work of the ministry and the edifying of the Body of Christ and that His Church ordains them
to this ministry.
TENET (12) Of the Resurrection of the Believer
We believe in the boldily resurrection of those who have died in Christ and their translation
together with those who are alive and remain until the coming of our Lord.
TENET (13) Of the Resurrection of the Unbeliever
We believe that "the fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murders, whoremongers, sorcerers,
idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone;
which is the second death."
TENET (14) Of the Lake of Fire
We believe that Satan and his angels shall be eternally confined to the Lake of Fire.
TENET (15) Of the New Heaven and New Earth
We believe that there shall be "new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness".
