Beliefs

STATEMENT OF FAITH

Citi Church is a non-denominational, full Gospel church. That means we are a diverse, charismatic, Bible-based people who believe in the full power of the Holy Spirit.

Our Beliefs

God

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe.  He has eternally existed in three personalities:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  These three are coequal and are one God.
(Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  He is coequal with the Father and Holy Spirit.  Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross.  He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to Earth to reign as King.
(Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13)

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and the Son of God.  He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ.  He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.  He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right.  He gives every believer spiritual gifts when they are saved.  As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.
(Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16-17; Galatians 5:25; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18)

The Bible

The Bible is God’s Word to us.  It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.  It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living.  Inspired by God, it is truth without error.
(2 Timothy 3:16, 1:13; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5) 

Human Beings

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation.  Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience towards God called “sin”.  Sin separates us from God and causes many problems in our lives.
(Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2)

Salvation

Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it.  We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works.  Only by trusting in Jesus Christ, as God’s offer of forgiveness, can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty.  We are saved when we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith.  Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
(Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6, 1:2; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1, 10:9-10)

Divine Healing

Divine healing is for the physical ills of the human body. It is available to us by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and/or by the laying on of hands.  Jesus Christ made this available to all believers at Calvary.
(Mark 16:18; James 5:14-15; I Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17; Isaiah 53:4-5)

 Baptism in the Holy Spirit

The promise of the baptism in the Holy Spirit as a commensurate experience is available to all believers. It is with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as well as the demonstration of spiritual power in daily life.
(Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6; Acts 1:8; Matthew 3:11)

Sanctification

The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord.  We believe in the doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, beginning at the time of salvation, and continuing until the consummation of Christ’s return.
(Hebrews 12:14; I Thessalonians 5:23; II Peter 3:18; II Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 3:12-14; I Corinthians 1:30)

Eternity

People were created to exist forever.  We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation.  To be eternally separated from God is Hell.  To be eternally in union with Him, is eternal life in Heaven.  Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.

(John 3:16 , 14:17; Romans 6:23, 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15; 1 Corinthians 2:7-9)
