At TPBC, our Statement of Faith serves as the cornerstone of our community. It articulates the fundamental beliefs that unite us and inspire our worship, service, and fellowship.
We believe that both the Old and New Testaments in the original texts constitute the divinely inspired Word of God, inerrant, infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and doctrine.
We believe in one God, co-existing eternally in three persons in the same Godhead - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the eternal deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born of virgin Mary, became man without ceasing to be God, and that He lived a perfect and sinless life on earth and was crucified, buried and on the third day rose again, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man.
We believe that the Holy Spirit came to convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, comfort and seal those who believe in Jesus Christ, and to empower them with spiritual gifts for the carrying out of the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that man is sinful by nature and choice, and is totally unable to remedy his lost condition except by the grace of God.
We believe that salvation of man's eternal being is the effect of regeneration or spiritual rebirth brought about by the Holy Spirit of God and is the gift of God granted to sinful man by the grace of God through repentance toward God and personal faith in Jesus Christ, whose atoning blood was shed on the cross once and for all for the forgiveness of sins.
We believe in water baptism of believers which symbolizes the believer's union with Jesus Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
We believe in the observance of the Lord's Supper, commemorating and proclaiming the sacrifice of our Saviour for all mankind till His return.
We believe that the life of the believer is to be separated from worldliness by consistent Christian living and conduct before God and man, and to be in the world as a witness to the life-giving Light.
We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ whose members have been baptized into the Body by the Holy Spirit upon regeneration and is endowed with spiritual gifts for the edification of the Body and the fulfilment of the Great Commission.
We believe in the absolute necessity of maintaining the purity and unity of the local Church, according to the Word of God, in doctrine, discipline and practice by those who are members of the Church by virtue of their obedience to Christ in salvation and water baptism.
We believe in the personal, visible, bodily and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that His second advent is essential to the fulfilment of God's plan for all mankind.
