Bishop Colin & Sis. Charmaine Hudson
God in his infinite wisdom created the first man (Adam) holy and wonderful. Initially he experienced sinless worship with God but disastrously he fell into sin by disobeying God Gen.3:5. This plunged humanity into eternal darkness from generation to generation as Roman 3:23, All have sin and come shot of the Glory of God. Sin alienated us away from God through its natural inclination to transgress the commands of God. Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way.
In the New Testament the Apostle Paul declared that Adam, the man of flesh, brought sin and death to the world while Christ the second Adam and the man of spirit, brought life (1 Cor 15:21- 22). In His death, Jesus reconciled man back to God. Romans 10:9 ‘That If you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved’. This then is a changed man. He had a new nature that embodied the inward man which is made of truth and righteousness in God. He obtained grace to live righteously and godly; He walks by faith and not by sight; he is empowered to defeat the enemy. He sees possibilities in every adversity.
We rejoice together with you as we walk hand in hand with the Lord. We love and support one another. We pray and encourage each other. We work together diligently for the advancement of the Kingdom of God in all arears of His service. Especially in presenting the message of salvation to those who are without Christ.
Bishop and Mrs C Hudson
DECLARATION OF FAITH
The New Testament Church of God believes the whole bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is written of God.
We Believe:
- In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
- In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
- That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
- That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
- That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
- In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
- Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
- In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
- In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
- In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
- Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
- In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
- In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
- In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
