Lansing Gospel HallWho are we?
We are a group of about 75 Christians who meet at Lansing Gospel
Hall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The church members come from all
nationalities and walks of life ... company directors, engineers,
nurses, teachers, housewives, and students. Despite our differences we
have all believed and accepted the truths found in the Bible. We have a
faith and a relationship with God through Jesus Christ that works
practically in daily life. Using only the Bible as their guide, a group
of volunteer, married, experienced Christians called elders, lead and
direct the church, but many others are involved in the day-to-day
activities of our service for God.
What do we believe?
We are convinced that the Bible, consisting of the Old and New
Testaments, is the inspired and inerrant Word of God and is the final
authority for Christian faith and life. Therefore, from the Bible, we
believe:
- That there is but one true and living God who exists in the past,
the present, and forever throughout eternity in the Trinity of the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- That Jesus Christ, the only begotten eternal Son of God, is
given to mankind as the only way of salvation. In Him perfect humanity
and deity is found in one person. He is the mediator between God and
man. He was crucified on the cross for the sins of all mankind and His
blood was shed to fulfil the requirements of God's righteousness. He
rose again bodily from the dead, and ascended to Heaven. In the last
day, Christ will return personally to earth as He has promised, to
judge the living and the dead.
- That humanity was created in the image of God. Since the
first man Adam sinned against God, all humanity has come short of the
glory of God, were flawed from birth, and cannot, by their own effort,
attain righteousness in the presence of God. Salvation of humankind
depends solely on the finished work of Christ who once and for all,
poured out His blood on the cross as payment for the sins of humankind.
Those who confess and repent of their sins and receive Jesus Christ as
Lord and Saviour shall be saved.
