WHAT WE BELIEVE AT LEGACY INTERNATIONAL

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

• We believe that the Eternal God has revealed Himself as One God existing in three  Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit – distinguishable but indivisible.

• We believe that God created the universe and all that is in it, including humankind. That humankind was tested and fell in sin and are unable to redeem themselves and obtain righteousness acceptable to God.

• We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutional and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.

• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. This salvation is received by faith through grace alone and not by human works.

• We believe that upon faith in Jesus Christ, a person should be baptised in water by immersion and that this is a direct command of Jesus Christ for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection.

• We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire subsequent to the New Birth – as on the day of Pentecost – and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in charismatic gifts and ministries, and in His fruit in the life of the believer.

• We believe in the keeping power of God. We believe in sanctification and holiness of heart and the overcoming life as God’s design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ.

• We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis of the Atonement.

• We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervour and endeavour.

• We believe in Christ’s imminent personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting dominion.

• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved into eternal life and they that are lost into eternal punishment.
