We affirm both the inerrancy and the sufficiency of God’s Word.
The Bible is the only authority in teaching us what it means to be a community of Christ-followers.
Cornerstone rejects Christian legalism and liberalism; the two great errors in handling God’s Word.
We will remain uncompromisingly faithful to the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus and
simultaneously use ministries and methods that are relevant to the people we are seeking to minister to.
The following is a brief synopsis of our beliefs:
1. About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22 || Psalm 90:2 || Matthew 28:19 || 1 Peter 1:2 || 2 Corinthians 13:14
2. About You
You are made in the spiritual image of God to be like Him in character. You are the supreme object of God's
creation and love. Although you have tremendous potential for good, you are marred by an attitude of disobedience towards
God called "sin." This attitude separates you from God until the relationship is restored through a personal commitment to Jesus Christ.
Genesis 1:27 || Psalms 8:3-6 || Isaiah 53:6 || Romans 3:23 || Isaiah 59: 1-2
3. About Eternity
Humans were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with
God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is
eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
John 3:16 || 1 John 2:25; 5:11-13 || Romans 6:23 || Revelation 20:15
4. About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself
as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate
His power over sin and death.
We believe in the personal, bodily and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and that His second coming inspires believers
for dynamic and zealous life and service for Him while waiting for His return.
Matthew 1:22-23 || Isaiah 9:6 || John 1:1-5; 14:10-30 || Hebrews 4:14-15 || 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 ||
Romans 1:3-4 Acts 1:9-11 || 2 Timothy 6:14-15 || Titus 2:13
5. About Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God to humanity. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works.
Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of Forgiveness can we be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the
moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23 || Ephesians 2:8-9 || John 14:6; 1:12 || Titus 3:5 || Galatians 3:26 || Romans 5:1
6. About The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make people aware of
their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. We believe that the ministry of the
Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, convict men, regenerate the believing sinner and indwell,
guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17 || John 16:7-13; 14:16-17 || Acts 1:8 || 2 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16 || Ephesians 1:13 Galatians 5:25 || Ephesians 5:18
7. About The Bible
The Bible is God's Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance
of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God,
it is truth without error in the original writings,
2 Timothy 3:16 || 2 Peter 1:20-21 || 2 Timothy 1:13 || Psalms 119:105, 160; 12:6 || Proverbs 30:51.
8. About The Church
We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have
been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ, of which He is the head.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church, and that every local church has the right,
under Christ, to decide and govern its own affairs.
