I.
WE BELIEVE that the Holy Bible, as originally written, was inspired in words and the product of Spirit-controlled men, and therefore, has truth without any admixture of error for its matter; and is, and shall remain to the end of the age, the true center of Christian union and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-20; Is. 8:20; Jn. 17:17) By the HOLY BIBLE, we mean that collection of sixty-six books, from Genesis to Revelation, which, as originally written, is the very Word of God. By INSPIRATION, we mean that the books of the Bible were written by Holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit in such a definite way that their writings were supernaturally inspired and free from error, as no other writings have ever been or ever will be inspired.
II.
WE BELIEVE that there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, the maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love. (Ex. 20:2-3; Jn. 17:3; Jn. 15:26; 1 Cor. 8:6; 1 Tim. 1:17; Rv. 4:11)
III.
WE BELIEVE that Satan was once holy, and enjoyed heavenly honors, but that through pride and ambition to be as the Almighty, fell and drew after him a host of angels; that he is now the malignant prince and the unholy god of this world. We hold him to be man’s great tempter, the enemy of God and His Christ, the accuser of the saints, the author of all false religions; the lord of the anti-Christ, and the author of all powers of darkness destined, however, to final defeat at the hands of God’s Son, and to the Judgment of an eternal justice in hell, a place prepared for him and his angels. (Is. 14:12-15; Ez. 28:14-17; Rv. 12:9; Jude 6; 2 Peter 2:4; Eph. 2:2; 1 Thess. 3:5; 1 Peter 5:8; Mt. 13:25, 37-39; Rv. 12:10; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Mark 13:21-22; 1 Jn. 4:3; 2 Thess. 2:8-11; Rv. 19:11; Rv. 20:10; Mt. 25:41)
IV.
WE BELIEVE that man was created in innocence under the law of his Maker, but by voluntary transgression fell from his sinless and happy state in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners, not only by constraint but by choice; and therefore, under just condemnation without defense or excuse. (Gn. 3:1-6; Rom. 5:12; Rom. 5:19; Rom. 3:10-19; Eph. 2:1, 3; Rom. 1:18; Rom. 1:32; Rom. 1:20; Rom. 1:28; Gal. 3:22)
V.
WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Ghost in a miraculous manner, born of Mary, a virgin as no other man was ever born or can ever be born of a woman and that he is the Son of God. (Is. 7:14; Mt. 1:18-25; Luke 1:35; Jn. 1:14; Gal. 4:4)
VI.
WE BELIEVE that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace; through Jesus Christ, who by the appointment of the Father, freely took upon Him our nature, yet without sin, honored the divine law by his obedience, and by his death made a full atonement for our sins; that His atonement consisted not in setting us an example by His death as a martyr, but was a voluntary substitution of Himself in the sinner’s place, the Just dying for the unjust; Christ, the Lord, bearing our sins in His own body on the tree; that having risen from the dead, He is now enthroned in Heaven, He is in every way qualified to be a suitable, a compassionate and an all-sufficient Savior. (Eph. 2:8; Acts 15:11; Rom. 3:24; Jn. 3:16; Mt. 18:11; Phil. 2:7; Heb. 2:14; Is. 53:4-7; Rom. 3:25; 1 Jn. 4:10; 1 Cor. 15:3; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; Heb. 9:12-15; Heb. 7:25)
VII.
WE BELIEVE that God is understood in three distinct forms, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Sometimes we use other terms, such as Creator, Redeemer and the Advocate.
VIII.
WE BELIEVE that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again with the seed of God; that is the enduring Word of God; that the new birth is a new creation in Christ Jesus; that in the new birth the one dead in trespasses and sins is made a partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life the free gift of God; that the new creation is brought about in a manner above our comprehension, not by culture, not by character, nor by the will of man, but wholly and solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience in keeping the New Covenant established by the blood of Jesus Christ. (Jn. 3:3; 2 Cor. 5:17; 1 Jn. 5:1; Jn. 3:6-7; Acts 16:30-33; 2 Peter 1:4; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:1; 2 Cor. 5:19; Col. 2:13; Jn. 3:8; Jn. 1:12-13; Gal. 5:22; Eph. 5:9)
IX.
WE BELIEVE that all believers are meant to be united as one body of Christ, working together for the glory of the Lord, and to bring others to salvation as commanded by the Lord according to the great commission; that God desires for all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the Truth (1 Cor. 12:12-27, Jn.17:21-23, Mt. 28:19-29, 1 Tim.2:4)
X.
WE BELIEVE that all who are truly born again are kept by God the Father for Jesus Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. (Phil. 1:6; Jn. 10:28; Rom. 8:35-39; Jude 1, Rv. 20:4)
XI.
WE BELIEVE that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked; that such only as through faith are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, sanctified by the Spirit of our God, and those who keep the New Covenant are truly righteous in His esteem; while all such as continue in impenitence and unbelief are in His sight wicked, and under the curse; and this distinction holds among men both in and after death, in the everlasting felicity of the saved and the everlasting suffering of the lost. (Mal. 3:18; Gn. 18:23; Rom. 6:17-18; 1 Jn. 5:19; Rom. 7:6; Rom. 6:23; Prov. 14:32; Luke 6:25; Mt. 25:34-46; Jn. 8:21, Rv. 21:8, Rv. 22:11-17)
XII.
WE BELIEVE, finally, that there will be a wedding of the Lamb with the spirits of heaven becoming one with the flesh here on earth for those who have been born of God’s seed, harvested, sealed, belong to the created new kingdom and new people who overcome and keep the New Covenant (Rv. 19, Rv. 7, Rv, 14). They are those who will participate in the first resurrection (Rv. 20:6). The evil one finally ends (Rv. 20:2-3) and God’s reign comes with us here on earth for eternity (Rv. 11:15, 2 Ti. 2:12,
Rv.19-22).
Zion Christian Mission Center (ZCMC) and ZION Holy Spirit Theology Center (ZHTC) are Online Bible Theological Studies under New Heaven and New Earth (NHNE) established through the cumulative efforts of a group of individuals dedicated to the field of Theology. We aim to push the boundaries of religion, culture, geographic location, time, and finances by harnessing the power of the internet to achieve connectivity in learning the word of God.
As people who believe in God Almighty and the words of promise He gave men through the Holy Scriptures (Heb 8:10-12), we put religion and belief system aside in order to focus on the wisdom that can be gained through the ‘one truth’ – that is the Word of God (Jn 17:17, Ps 119:160) all in unity to achieve peace (Gal 5:22, Rm 14:19) through one standard – the Holy Bible. (Ps 119:165,
Phil 4:7)
Zion Holy Spirit Theology Center shares the responsibility of spreading the Word of God based on the Holy Bible. The objectives of the theology center are centered on the following:
To establish the truth written in the Bible: (Jn. 1:1-4; Jn. 17:17)
To instill moral conduct:
