The God Head
We hold to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Almighty God and without Him there is no saviour: Isaiah 7:14; St Matthew 1:23; Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:14-17; Isaiah 45:15-21; Titus 1:13; Deuteronomy 32:4; 1 Corinthians 10:4; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 5:20; Revelations 1:8. The Holy Bible teaches us that there is only one God, not three distinct persons in the Godhead. (Colossians 2:9). Throughout the bible there is a clear message that God is one (Deuteronomy 6:4). The Holy Ghost is the way in which God dwells in men and women since Pentecost (Acts 2:4), and continues to this day. Therefore we hold to the word that there is but one God with three functions (1 John 5:7-8). God made flesh (John 1:1-14); God manifested in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16); He which was, which is, and which is to come, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8); the mighty God, everlasting Father, and the Prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6).
Father
God is known as the father because He created the world. God is also a spirit (John 4:24). He is from everlasting to everlasting. (Psalms 90:2; Ephesians 4:6; Isaiah 43:10; Isaiah 44:6; Revelation 22:13).
Son
For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). This Son is Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:21-23). A body of flesh and blood (Hebrews 10:5) came to earth as a man in order to save us. Isaiah prophesied that Jesus Christ is the mighty God (Isaiah 9:6). Jesus Christ is God in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:10; John 1:14, 2 Corinthians 5:19). The Jews tried to kill Jesus because He declared Himself equal with God (John 10:24-33). Philip, one of Jesus’ disciples, did not understand that Jesus is the Father as well as the Son (John 14:8-9).
Holy Ghost
The Holy Ghost is an essential part of a Christian’s life, without it we are none of His (Romans 8:9-11). The Holy Ghost is God dwelling in man; it guides us, without force, to follow Christ. With the Spirit of God in our lives we grow and develop into the true children of the Most High God following the written word of God.
