WBTA Personnel hold to the following tenets based on the teaching of the Scriptures as a whole, for which Bible references are given as examples: We believe in one God, who exists eternally in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1, Matthew 28:16-20, Luke 3:21-22, John 10:25-30, John 20:19-22, 2 Corinthians 13:14) We believe the whole Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God and is completely trustworthy. (Psalm 19:7-11, Psalm 119, 1 Peter 1:23-25, 2 Timothy 3:15-17) We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, is fully God and fully human. He demonstrated God’s love for sinners by suffering the penalty of death in their place, rose bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven where he intercedes for his people. (Isaiah 53, Matthew 1:23, John 1:1-4, John 14:1-13, Romans 8:31-34, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Colossians 1:15-20, Hebrews 1:1-4, 1 Peter 2:22-25) We believe the Lord Jesus Christ will return personally in glory, raise the dead, and judge the world. (Isaiah 9:1-7, John 5:25-30, Acts 1:7-11, I Thessalonians 4:13-5:11, 2 Timothy 4:1, Revelation 22:12) We believe in the Holy Spirit who imparts new life to those who believe in Christ; through his indwelling presence and transforming power he gives assurance and equips believers for holy living and effective service. (Ezekiel 36:22-32, Joel 2:28-32, John 3:1-21, John 16:1-15, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:14-21, Romans 8) We believe that in the beginning God created humankind in his own image as male and female. Consequently, all people, including the vulnerable and marginalised, have intrinsic value and are to be treated with honour, respect and love, without bias or prejudice. (Genesis 1:26-28, Psalm 139:13-16, Matthew 18:1-6, Luke 4:18-21, Philippians 2:1-11, James 1:27-2:13) We believe that as a result of sin all people are alienated from God and each other, and therefore in need of forgiveness, salvation and reconciliation. (Genesis 3-4, Psalm 51, Isaiah 53:4-6, Isaiah 59, Acts 2:38-40, Romans 3, Romans 10:1-17) We believe all who repent and trust in Jesus Christ alone as Lord and Saviour are, by the grace of God, declared to be right with him. They receive forgiveness and eternal life and are called to holy living, both in public and in private. The standards of holy living and behaviour that we uphold and require as an integral outworking of our belief are detailed in the WBTA Code of Conduct. (Leviticus 19:2, Psalm 1, Matthew 5, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:23, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Ephesians 2:8, Ephesians 4:1 & 24, 1 Thessalonians:4:1-12, Titus 3:4-7, 1 Peter 1:13-16, Revelation 21:5-8) We believe all people will rise from the dead, those who are in Christ to enjoy eternal life with God, and those who are lost to suffer eternal separation from him. (Job 19:25-27, Daniel 12:1-3, John 11:17-27, 1 Corinthians 15, Revelation 20:11-15) We believe the Church is the body of Christ, the fellowship of all believers, and is commissioned to make disciples of all nations. (Psalm 67, Isaiah 49:3-7, Malachi 1:11, Matthew 28:18-20, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 1:11-23, Ephesians 2:14-16, Ephesians 4:11-13) Do you agree with WBTA's Statement of Faith?(Required) Yes No Agreement with WBTA Policies Please read the following documents and indicate your willingness to abide by them while you are serving with WBTAI have read the WBTA Code of Conduct and agree to abide by it Yes No I have read the Acceptable use of Information Technology Policy and agree to abide by it Yes No I have read the Intellectual Property Policy and agree to abide by it Yes No I have read the Occupational Health and Safety Policy and agree to abide by it Yes No I agree to the Child and Vulnerable Persons Protection Policy.
