We stand unequivocally for the fundamentals of the faith!

We believe in One Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - co-equal and co-eternal, perfect in Essence and without any sin of any kind (Isa 6:3). We believe the Father sent the Son to redeem fallen mankind, suffering the penalty of all humanity, past, present and future, in their place.(Jn 3:16) Simple belief is all that is required to partake of the salvation offered to individual men and women. "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved..." (Acts 16:31)

We believe that the 66 books contained in the Old and New Testament Bible are God-inspired and His directive will to be revealed to mankind. In addition, we believe that His word is perfect and without error. It is the original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, in which it was written, that God has protected over the ages, maintaining their words of fidelity and truth regarding His plan. Therefore, we believe that it is incumbent upon each Pastor responsible for teaching His word, to be adequately trained in the languages, to ensure an accurate translation. It is only by a verse-by-verse approach that the student of God's word can solidly maintain context, continuity of intent and truly seek His entire counsel (Act. 20:27; Pro.1:1-6 cp. vss.20-25).

This site has been established with the clear Biblical understanding that
there are those whom the Bible terms as "seekers", which are individuals who
truly desire a relationship with God. This is important since Scripture states
that "He is a rewarder of those who seek Him", (Heb.11:6). God has revealed
Himself to mankind through two primary avenues of revelation i.e., creation
(Rom.1:20) and the verbal plenary inspiration of His plan given to men,
consolidated in our present age into the books of the Bible (1Cor.2:16).
While men come to an understanding that God exists through creation, it is
only by a clear understanding of the Bible that man can know what His plan
for them consists of, and what necessary adjustments are needed in order
for men to comply with His plan. Since it is God that is perfect and not men, it
is the responsibility of men to adjust to His righteousness.

The information contained in this site is for those seekers looking for the
truth of Bible doctrine. It provides an alternative for those who are not
satisfied with the "lukewarm" approach to the Bible (Rev.3:14-16) and have a
desire to be fed spiritually. This site is not designed to be a substitute for
face-to-face teaching of the believer under their right Pastor-Teacher
(Eph.4:11) in their own local church. It is the local church that is the pillar
and support of the truth (1Tim.3:15). The importance of the local church and
one's adherence to it is brought out explicitly in the New Testament. When
the glorified Christ wanted to communicate "The Revelation", He addressed
it to the communicators of the seven churches (Rev.2-3). It is clear that the
Apostles in the early church regarded the establishment and function of
the local church as their priority of ministry (Act.14:21-23). Even the major
epistles of the New Testament are written to local churches. Apart from
local churches and their function, sound Bible teaching is not available. The
information in this site therefore, is a commentary of the type of teaching of
the Bible that is available in the Christian world today.

Hope Bible Church is an independant, autonomous, local body of Christ. We recognize only the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ in Church government, and are therefore non-denominational. We are non-charismatic, subscribing to the Word of God as our only guide in the Christian Way of Life.
