| Our
Beliefs
CREEDS
We believe the Apostles'
Creed and the Nicene Creed, for these explain the Faith in plain
and uncomplicated manners.
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible
is the inspired word of God.
THE SACRAMENTS
We believe the seven
sacraments are outward signs instituted by God to give us Grace.
THE GODHEAD
We believe the Godhead
consists of God the Father who is attributed with the creation.
God the Son, co-Creator and Redeemer. God the Holy Spirit, life
of the Church.
THE CHURCH
We believe the Church is
one holy catholic and apostolic. Christ is the root and the
Church is the main stem, and we a branch of the Vine. We are the
Charismatic Branch or Rite of the Church.
THE SAINTS
The saints are those
baptized people who are in perfect harmony with God and who are
still living, as well as the dearly departed who have already
entered the Kingdom and are in the presence of God.
We often pray to God
through the saints and often ask the saints to intercede for us
to God for they are already in His presence.
VALIDITY OF THE SACRAMENTS
The validity of the
sacraments is the test through which the administration of a
sacrament is judged to be valid. In order for a sacrament to be
valid the proper form, intention, and matter is to be used with
the proper minister administering this sacrament. The
administrator of the sacrament must have been ordained by a
bishop possessing the valid lines of apostolic succession.
PURPOSE OF LIFE
The purpose of life as we
understand it is to know, love and serve God in this world, so
as to be happy with him in the next. |
