Statement of Faith

01. AUTHORITY
OF THE BIBLE

AOIC is committed to the authority of the Bible as the inspired, written Word of God, and the absolute infallible rule for faith and conduct.

02. CENTRALITY
OF JESUS CHRIST

AOIC is committed to the centrality of Jesus Christ, the living Word, apart from whom there is no salvation. This entails belief in His virgin birth, His physical death and resurrection, His substitutionary atonement, and His literal return to this earth.

03. NORMATIVE
OF NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH

AOIC recognizes the normative of the New Testament Church for the theology, experience, and practice of the church today.

04. EMPOWERMENT
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

AOIC believes that the Holy Spirit has been given to believers to foster conformity to the image of Christ. In addition, all believers should ardently expect to be baptised in the Spirit, an endowment which equips the believer to express with power the new life in Christ, both in witness to the world and in a heightened quality of personal prayer.
