Beliefs
Birmingham City Church is part of the Elim Pentecostal Church. Therefore they share a set of beliefs known as our Foundational Truths.
The Foundational Truths is the BCC’s statement of faith. It serves as a guide for the church and all its members. They shed light into their belief about God, Christianity, Jesus, the Bible and the Holy Spirit and much more. As an Elim Pentecostal Church BCC is fully aligned with these Foundational Truths.
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of God and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
THE TRINITY
They believe that the Godhead exists co-equally and co-eternally in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.
THE SAVIOUR
They believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His real and complete humanity, in His sinless life, in His authoritative teaching, in His substitution and atoning sacrifice through His blood shed, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His heavenly intercession and His second advent to receive His Church.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The BCC believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son. They believe in the necessity of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration and sanctification, and that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement, the believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the Church, its worship, evangelism and service.
MANKIND
They believe in the universal sinfulness of all men since the Fall, rendering man subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
SALVATION
They believe in the necessity for salvation of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which the sinner is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God’s sight. This justification is imputed by the grace of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received by faith alone and is evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit and a holy life.
THE CHURCH
Also, they believe in the spiritual unity and the priesthood of all believers in Christ and that these comprise the universal Church, the Body of Christ.
THE MINISTRY
Another belief is in the ministries that Christ has set in His Church, namely, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers and in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the New Testament.
THE ORDINANCES
BCC believes in the baptism of believers in water in obedience to the command of Christ and the commemoration of Christ’s death by the observance of the Lord’s Supper until His return.
THE COMMISSION
They believe that the Gospel embraces the needs of the whole man and that the Church is therefore commissioned to preach the Gospel to the world. Also, to fulfill a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual and physical needs of mankind.
THE COMING KING
They believe in the personal, physical and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in power and glory.
THE FUTURE STATE
Lastly, they believe in the resurrection of the dead and in the final judgement of the world, the eternal conscious bliss of the righteous and the eternal conscious punishment of the wicked.
