Question 1

1. What is the statement of faith of BCF?

Accepted Answer

1. We believe in the sixty-six books of the Bible as the inspired Word of God. 
Kami ay naniniwala sa animnapu’t-anim na mga aklat ng Biblia bilang kinasihang Salita ng Diyos. 
 (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)  
​
2. We believe in one God revealed in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. 
They are equal in every attribute, executing separate but coordinating offices in the redemption of man. 
Kami ay naniniwala sa iisang Diyos na nahayag sa tatlong Persona: Diyos Ama, Diyos Anak at Diyos Espiritu Santo.
Sila ay magkakapantay-pantay sa lahat ng katangian at gumagawang magkakahiwalay ngunit magkaka-ugnay
para sa kaligtasan ng tao. 
(Genesis 1:26; Exodus 3:14; Mark 12:29; John 8:58; John 10:30; John 14:16-17a;
Acts 5:3-4; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Tim. 1:17; Hebrews 1:8)

3. We believe in God the Father who loves us and sent His one and only Son to die on the cross in our behalf. 
We are called His children. 
Kami ay naniniwala sa Diyos Ama na nagmamahal  sa amin at nagpadala ng Kanyang kaisa-isang Anak upang mamatay sa Krus
para sa aming kapakanan. Kami ay tinawag bilang Kanyang mga anak. 
(Matthew 6:26, 18:14; Luke 6:35-36, 12:32, John 3:16, 14:1-2, 16:27; Romans 8:15-16; 1 John 3:1)

4. We believe in God the Son who came in human flesh, born by a virgin who was overshadowed by the power of the Most High. 
He died on behalf of sinners and came back to life on the third day 
and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father interceding on our behalf. 
Kami ay naniniwala sa Diyos Anak na dumako sa daigdig sa katawang tao, ipinanganak ng isang birhen na nilukuban ng kapang¬yarihan ng Kataas-taasang Diyos. Siya ay namatay para sa mga makasalanan at nabuhay na muli sa ikatlong araw at ngayon ay nakaluklok sa kanan ng Diyos Ama at patuloy na namamagitan para sa ating kapakanan. 
(Matthew 1;18 & 23; Romans 5:8; Romans 8:34; Philippians 2:6-11; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 4:14; Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1-2)

5. We believe in God the Holy Spirit who baptizes believers in Christ’s universal body. 
He distributes spiritual gifts just as He determines for the edification of the church. 
Kami ay naniniwala sa Banal na Espiritu Santo na idinadagdag ang mga mananampalataya sa katawan ni Kristo.
Siya ay namamahagi ng espirituwal na kaloob ayon sa Kanyang nais tungo sa ikatitibay ng Iglesya. 
(Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11; Ephesians 4:11-13)

6. We believe in the fall of man resulting from the disobedience of Adam. For a man to be restored to God, he has to be born again. 
He needs to have faith in Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord to have everlasting life. 
Kami ay naniniwala na ang sangkatauhan ay napahiwalay sa Diyos bunga ng pagsuway ni Adan. Upang ang tao ay mapanumbalik sa Diyos, kinakailangang siya ay ipanganak na muli. Kinakailangan niyang magkaroon ng pananampalataya kay Hesu Kristo bilang kanyang sariling Tagapagligtas at Panginoon upang makamit niya ang buhay na walang hanggan. 
(Genesis 3:17-19, 23; John 3:3; John 3:16; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23; 1 John 5:11-12)

7. We believe in water baptism by immersion and the observance of the Lord’s Supper. 
Kami ay naniniwala sa pagpapabautismo sa tubig sa pamamagitan ng paglubog at pakikibahagi ng Banal na Hapunan ng Panginoon. 
(Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:1-4; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; Colossians 2:12)

8. We believe that heaven is the habitation of God, where the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to prepare a place for the believers. 
This is an actual place where the believers will dwell eternally. 
Kami ay naniniwala sa langit na tahanan ng Diyos, kung saan ang Panginoong Hesu Kristo ay naparoon upang paghandaan ng tirahan ang mga mananampalataya. Ito ay isang tiyak na lugar kung saan ang mananampalataya ay maninirahan nang walang hanggan. 
(John 14:2-3)

9. We believe that hell is an actual place of damnation prepared by God for Satan and his followers. 
Those who do not have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will also be thrown into hell. 
Kami ay naniniwala na ang impiyerno ay isang tiyak na lugar ng kaparusahan na inihanda ng Diyos para kay Satanas at sa kanyang mga tagasunod. Ang mga walang pananampalataya sa Panginoong Hesu Kristo ay itatapon din sa impiyerno. 
(Matthew 25:41; 2 Peter 2:4&5; Revelation 20:14-15)

10. We believe in the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. 
Kami ay naniniwala sa ikalawang pagdating ng Panginoong Hesu Kristo. 
(Matthew 24:30, 36-37; Matthew 26:64; John 14:2-3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

Question 6

6. I am new in Bahrain. I don't have a car yet. How can I go to the church?

Accepted Answer

Welcome to Bahrain! Here at BCF, we provide transport vans per area to accommodate you. They will transport you to and from the church during worship services and church activities - free of charge.

REMINDERS: 
1. Please call or send a message before 10AM for Friday service and before 2PM for Sunday service. This allows our driver ministers enough time to arrange their routes.              
2. Calls or messages received after these times may not be accommodated, as our driver ministers will already be on the road
3. Drop-offs will be arranged by our driver ministers.
4. Ministers who need to arrive early for church on Fridays and Sundays may not be prioritized for pick-up, as priority will be given to churchgoers attending the main service.

PAALALA:
1. Sa mga magpapasundo ng worship services, puwede tumawag o magsend ng message before mag-10AM para sa Friday, at 2PM para sa Sunday services. Ito ay upang mabigyan ng sapat na oras ang ating mga driver ministers na ayusin ang kanilang mga ruta.
2. Maaaring hindi na masagot ang inyong mga tawag o messages after ng mga nabanggit na oras, dahil ang ating mga driver ministers ay posibleng nasa biyahe na.
3. Sa paghahatid pauwi, ang ating mga driver ministers ang mag-aayos ng kanilang ruta.
4. Para sa mga ministers na kailangang maagang makarating sa church ng Friday or Sunday, maaaring hindi kayo maihatid ng maaga dahil priority masundo muna ang mga dadalo sa worship services.
