POINTS OF EMPHASIS:
We encourage God's people to an earnest and serious study of God's Word, as it is the direct revelation of His Will and the source of spiritual growth and strength. Believing that prayer is the life of the Church. We stress the vital importance of the prayer life of the Christian, seeking to foster the sense of our total dependence upon God alone. In these days of great spiritual apathy, we pray continually that God would once again send a gracious revival to His Church.
OUR BELIEFS:
1.
The Absolute Authority
and Divine Verbal Inspiration of the Old and the New Testaments as
the Word of God.
2.
There is but
one living and true God, and in the Godhead,
there are three Persons, Equal in power and glory, God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
3.
The Eternal Son ship,
Virgin Birth, and Deity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
4.
The personality of
God the Holy Spirit, and the absolute necessity of His
work in Regeneration and Sanctification, and His In-filling of the In-dwelt
Believer for power. To live and witness for Christ.

Death of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Resurrection as the only way of
Salvation through Faith.

Baptism . The Siloam
Biblical Christian Church of Pakistan (SBCCP) , under Christ the Great King And
Head of the Church, Realizing that bitter controversy raging around the mode
And proper subjects of the ordinance of Christian baptism has divided the Body
of Christ when that Body should have been united in Christian love and Holy
Ghost Power to stem the onslaughts and hell-inspired assaults of modernism,
hereby Affirms that each member of the Siloam Biblical Christian Church shall
have liberty to decide for himself which course to adopt on these controversial
issues, each member giving due honor in love to the views held by differing
brethren, but none espousing the error of baptismal regeneration.
8.
The Lord's Supper .
The Lord's Supper has been appointed by our Lord for Remembrance of Him in His
work as Savior. Its purpose to the child of God is for Strengthening, and
putting a visible difference between the redeemed and the unregenerate. This
Sacrament will be observed once each month in every Siloam Congregation, or
more frequently as each local congregation shall decide.

personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
