The Basis of Faith of Holy Trinity Church
is in the fundamental truths of Christianity as revealed in Holy
Scripture including:
1 The unity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead
2 The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption, and final
judgement
3 The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture as originally
given and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct
4 The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the Fall,
rendering man subject to God’s wrath and condemnation
5 The full deity of the Lord Jesus Christ as the incarnate Son of God; his
virgin birth, and his real and sinless humanity; his death on the cross, his
bodily resurrection and his present reign in heaven and earth
6 Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the
sacrificial death once and for all time of our representative and substitute
Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and man
7 Justification as God’s act of undeserved mercy in which the sinner is
pardoned all his sins and accepted as righteous in God’s sight only because
of the righteousness of Christ imputed to him, this justification being
received by faith alone
8 The need for the Holy Spirit to make the work of Christ effective to the
individual sinner, granting him repentance toward God and faith in Jesus
Christ
9 The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all those thus regenerated, producing
in them an increasing likeness to Christ in character and behaviour, and
empowering them for their witness in the world
10 The only holy universal Church which is the Body of Christ to which all
true believers belong
11 The further personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ who will judge all
men, executing God’s just condemnation on the impenitent and receiving the
redeemed to eternal glory
