What We Believe
Rosedale Fountain Of Life Church
Statement of Faith
We believe that there is only one True God who is the eternal King, Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent, one being in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
We believe that humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, but we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended and chose our own ways. Because of this, sickness, death and judgement entered the world and now creation groans under the effects and consequences of sin.
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the one and only Son of God who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s Kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, and rose again on the third day and ascended into heaven and is alive now, seated in heaven at the right hand of the Father, and is in His People by the Holy Spirit. He is both “true God” and “true Man.”
We believe that we are saved by God’s grace through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, makes us spiritually alive, justifies us, sanctifies us and adopts us into God’s family as His sons and daughters.
We believe in the ongoing life changing power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and experience and share the supernatural power of God.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers so that they have God’s power to be His witnesses.
We believe the victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness and torment.
We believe that the Church consists of all who believe in the physical life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and trust Him for their salvation.
The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His Kingdom by undoing the works of Satan and his kingdom.
The Church lives the good news of God’s love, teaching the nations to know God, receive His love and obey His voice.
We believe that heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of all mankind, those who reject Jesus Christ to everlasting death, and those who believe in Jesus Christ to everlasting life.
