AUSTRALIAN PRESBYTERIAN BIBLE CHURCH

To emphasise our background, and facilitate our work,
we have chosen a shorter name

AUSTRALIAN BIBLE CHURCH

for our operations, because this represents our decisive doctrinal basis,
we now use the name

AUSTRALIAN BIBLE CHURCH

- a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Alliance.9The earlier name was: The Australian Presbyterian Bible Church. The change of name does not represent any change of position.

See also brief introduction.

In other words, we are a Bible Church in Australia, with a Presbyterian
character. Neither culture nor Confession can command, as the word of God does,
and where either takes precedence over it in anything, in principle or practice, the cut-off point is reached.
The traditions of men are not mandatory but abhorrent to God in such a place (Mark 7:7ff.).

On WHY WE ARE HERE see Christ not Culture ... Epilogue as marked.

Our basic approach includes this, which appears
on the back of the Church visiting card.

Continuing in fellowship with all by faith

receiving Jesus Christ, the eternal Son
of the living God, as Lord and only Saviour,
freely covered for ever by His blood atonement,

taking the Bible as His, final in authority,

Calling for repentance with faith in Him, God as
man, crucified, bodily resurrected and to return.

Fellowship has great scope for sharing, and so we seek to be very open in this (John 17).
Church membership of course is a far more shaped thing,
but the fellowship aspect has great potential.

The eternal Word of God became man, showed God as man in definitive image, broke the bondage of sin and death, exhibited the power and wit, wonder and grace, intense and intensive love of God, rose bodily from the dead, granting the same as a grace in time to come to those believing in Him (I Cor. 4. 15:51-58, II Cor. 5), and does not as the Lamb slain, cease to retain His completed and consummated saving power, premises and the ways of His Gospel. This is so, even when all is finished, the Messiahship on earth already performed (Hebrews 9:12); for He has accomplished "His eternal purpose" (Ephesians 3:11), the throne being that of God and the Lamb for ever and ever (Revelation 5:13). The Gospel is never passé.

Our aim is to be worshipping the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
following the Bible without reservation, as God gave it,
the Lord without fear of man,
Protestant, glorying in the cross of Christ
and His word without addition or alteration by the word of man,
specialising in Christian Apologetics, and the Church is

	ONE COMPELLING REASON for our being here, may be related to Church movements in the last 25 years, and the word of God for millenia. The sketch below is intended to show how this can (and did) work out.
	As an ordained minister, this is the path I have found. When I joined the RPCES (Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod) as a Minister transferring from the fallen PC of New Zealand, I sought and obtained a good change (not original) for its Constitution. Thus here was a Presbyterian Church like that in Australia at that time, doing some justice to the love of God towards those who are (and remain) lost.
	This RPCES even advertised as a "true blue" Presbyterian Church and it seemed good to belong to it. However, though a whole Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of the south wanted to join our denomination, this was not forwarded, so that instead, around 1983, a reverse process occurred. Instead, what was to become the Presbyterian Church in America absorbed the whole RPCES denomination, with no apparent allowance for its Constitution, so in effect deleting the important change brought about in it, in my entry year, 1967.
	Naturally, and in view of such things as the considerable influence of freemasonry which appeared in what became the PCA, one was not attracted, let alone later, when after the absorption, they made great fanfare organisationally of their free movement away not only from the Genesis days, but from the very concept of a day in that site, for this was more than dealing loosely, acting laxly in a sure context; it was proceeding to play games with the very structure of the text. Seeking to act resolutely, one speedily divorced from all this, and transferred to a small Presbyterian Church in Adelaide. My major Ministerial work since then, apart from preaching and approach to the Government on various issues, has been the writing of what has become a theological set of 243 volumes, specialising in, but not limited to Biblical Christian Apologetics.
	Having tasted in 4 nations and 4 denominations the decline from the teaching of the Bible, I have a desire to show, and in this have shown, that there is no alternative to this Bible, as it is self-defined, nothing near to equal in status in the whole world, nor has there been for millenia of its changeless declaratlon.
	There is no other 'sacred book' nor any philosophy to answer every attack, every question, every phase of events and eventuality, in man's troubled habitation of this globe, or show a love of a deep, lasting and lavish kind. On the contrary, it gives answer with an exuberant authority, proclaiming, predicting and inviting. The central resolution and divine benefaction to and for the race is the offer of and in Christ and Him crucified/resurrected. As in I Corinthians 1-2, the fully inspired Bible is the handbook. and not a suggestion box. God has spoken. Humankind may be pardoned and adopted, one by one, not only in principle, but in practice. This is the word sent to man and this world is aching its way through history largely without it. Hence this electronic missionary work.
