Australia. In summary we believe in :

the Bible as the inspired and only inerrant and authoritative World
of God. 2 Tim 3:16

there is one God, the Creator, eternally existent in three persons:
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

·
in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, In His virgin birth, In His
sinless life, In His miracles, In His atoning death, In His bodily
resurrection, In His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and
in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to
rule a thousand years.
Matt
16:16, 1 Cor, 15:3,4

In the blessed hope, which is the rapture of the church at Christ's
coming. Titus 2:13

and faith in the precious blood of Christ
