PGP Doctrinal Statement
1.
The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
2.
The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, election, redemption, the final judgment and new creation.
3.
The divine inspiration and consequent entire truth and trustworthiness of the Scriptures as originally given, and their supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
4.
The universal sinfulness and guilt of humans since the fall, rendering us subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
5.
The full deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God; his virgin birth and his real and sinless humanity; his death on the cross, his bodily resurrection and his present reign in heaven and on earth.
6.
Salvation in its entirety issues from the grace of God.
7.
Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death once and for all time of our representative and substitute, Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and humankind.
8.
Justification as God’s act of mercy, in which all who are predestined to salvation are unfailingly called and pardoned of all their sins, and forever accepted as righteous in God’s sight, only because of the righteousness of Christ imputed to them, this justification being received by faith alone.
9.
The need for the Holy Spirit to make the work of Christ effective to individual sinners, granting them repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ.
10.
The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all those thus regenerated, producing in them an increasing likeness to Christ in character and behaviour, and empowering them for their witness in the world.
11.
The one holy universal Church, and to which all true believers belong.
12.
The future personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge all people, executing God’s just condemnation on the impenitent and receiving the redeemed to glory.
