Frequently Asked Questions

Q2. If I decide to be baptised is there a waiting period?
No. The only requirement prior to baptism is a desire to repent of our old ways and follow Gods ways. Baptism is a ‘burial service’ in the bible. Romans 6:4. One person in the bible asked. “What does hinder me from being baptised?” The response was simple, “If you believe with all your heart, you may (be baptised) Acts 8:36-37
Q3. What is the Gospel?
The gospel involves Jesus’ death on the cross as the sin offering to fulfill the Law’s righteous requirement. The gospel is, broadly speaking, the whole of Scripture; more narrowly, the gospel is the good news concerning Christ and the way of salvation. The gospel also involves Jesus’ resurrection on the third day. The elements of the gospel are clearly stated in 1 Corinthians 15:3–6, a key passage concerning the good news of God.
Q4. What is "Speaking in tongues?"
Speaking in tongues is a God-given prayer language that a person receives when they are filled with Gods Holy Spirit as at the Day of Pentecost. Acts 2:4, 37-40, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 19: 2-6
Q5. What is the point in "speaking in tongues?"
There are several benefits for the person who “speaks in tongues” as it is a function of the Holy Spirit. The Bible tells us: We don’t know how to pray to God in a satisfactory manner for our difficulties, so the Holy Spirit does this on our behalf. Romans 8: 26.
The Holy Spirit ‘builds up’ the Christian believer in faith from within when we pray to God in the Holy Ghost. Jude: 20-21. Speaking in tongues is a form of worship that fulfils Jesus’ words in the Gospel of john 4:24, “God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship him in Spirit and in truth”
