WHAT WE BELIEVE

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe in one God; eternally in three persons: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; each with separate and distinct, albeit common purpose, ministries and manifestations toward mankind.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, demonstration of miracles vicarious and atoning death through His shedding of blood at Calvary, bodily resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of the Father and His personal return in power and glory to the earth.

We believe that the Holy Bible, the Holy Scriptures are the inerrant, revealed Word of God and therefore is the ultimate authority and standard of faith and practice in our lives.

We believe that the regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of the lost and sinful mankind, for men have sinned.

We believe that an individual Christian is enabled to live a Godly life through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Sacraments convey grace and through them Christ is known and is manifested among believers.

We believe that Christian Morality of the New Testament is the sole guide for the Church as they make a significant difference in the world by their being a witness through their life of faith.

We believe Christ instituted the apostolic ministry of Bishops, Priest and Deacons, which is MALE in character and advocates the ministry of all believers and the laity working together with the 3-fold offices.

We believe that the Creeds, as standards of our Faith mean exactly what they say.
(The Apostle's creed, the Nicene creed and the Athanasian creed)

We believe in emphasizing the regular, reverend and disciplined worship service where we praise the Almighty God, admit our need of Him in our lives, and offer Him our prayers of thanksgiving and petition for others as well as for ourselves.

We believe in the continuity of the Church as it moves into maturity to become the Bride of Christ, in spiritual unity with those who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and have made Him as Lord and Savior of their lives.

The Anglican Church in the Philippines (Traditional), Inc. (ACPT) is an autonomous and independent Anglican body, a continuing Anglican Province in the islands of the Philippines and in communion with the Anglican Province of America.

We are Catholic meaning universal because we share the faith, sacraments and teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ embraced at all times and in every era while we are in fellowship with all-minded people and of “like-faith” around the world.

We are Apostolic as we continue adhere to the Apostle’s teachings and fellowship. Acts 2:42.

We are Evangelical, as we believe in the Gospel and in Jesus Christ as the only advocate and mediator between God and men. 1 Timothy 2:5. Because we believe in the Bible as the inerrant Word of God, we are Biblical in morality as we make it the sole guide for our everyday conduct of life.

We are Reformed because we hold on to the doctrines and liturgy handed down by the English Reformation in the 39 articles of Religion and the worship based on the 1928 version of the Book of Common Prayer.

We are Liturgical / Sacramental as it expresses worship of God is form and order still based on the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.
