Centre For Christian Spirituality

The Centre for Christian Spirituality is positioned within the evangelical community and believes the following:

• There is one God, eternally existent and equal in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

• Jesus Christ came incarnate, was born of a virgin, and was resurrected bodily from the dead.

• The Holy Spirit convicts and reproves the world of sin, sanctifies and indwells the believer, instills the believer with stability and power, and leads into all truth.

• Scripture, both Old and New Testaments, is, in the original manuscripts, divinely inspired, infallible, and the supremely authroitative Word of God.

• Salvation is the work of Jesus Christ whereby, following the response of our faith and repentance, we are forgiven and experience newness of life in Christ Jesus, receive the Spirit of adoption and are made heirs of the Kingdom of God.

• Sanctification is the empowering by God of the believer, through the Holy Spirit who indwells and fills, to live a life of continuing growth in righteousness and holiness.  The sanctified life is expressed through love out of a pure heart and obedience to the Word of God.

• The Church is the Body of Christ which emerged at Pentecost and is composed of believers who enter that body through conversion.  The local church is a manifestation of the universal church organized for fellowship, instruction, prayer, and witnessing.

• Jesus Christ will return imminently in glory and power to call the church to Himself and establish His kingdom forever.

• The future will include the resurrection of the dead, the future general judgement, and an eternal state in which the righteous experience eternal life and the wicked, endless punishment.
