Doctrinal Basis

The A·chik Evangelical Association has the following doctrinal basis:-

1. The Unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.

2. The Sovereignty of God in Creation, revelation, redemption and the final judgement.

3. The divine inspiration and infalibility of Holy Scripture (by which we understand the 66 books of the Bible as originally given) and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

4. The Universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, rendering man subject to God's wrath and condemnation.

5. Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death (as our representative and substitute) of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God.

6. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

7. The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective to the individual sinner, granting him repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ.

8. The indwelling and the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.

9. The one holy, universal Church which is the Body of Christ to which all true believers belong.

10. The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
