Pastor Barry Mossip:

Barry's ministry journey has been richly varied. He began as a missionary in a First Nations community, teaching foundational Bible principles and fostering relationships with the community members. Following his theological training, he served as an Associate Pastor at Zion Pentecostal Church and soon advanced to the role of Senior Pastor. His dedication to God's work has also seen him take on roles such as media and children's pastor and engage in discipling young adults. Beyond pastoral care, Pastor Barry continues to preach and teach regularly, demonstrating unwavering commitment to equipping believers for spiritual growth and maturity.

Now at Roseisle Pentecostal Assembly, Pastor Barry brings a wealth of experience and a heartfelt passion for theological and spiritual education. His approach focuses on creating a strong foundation in Christ, ministering through teaching, fellowship, prayer, and practical application of the Gospel. Barry’s love for deep biblical study, including his interests in the Bible, Dead Sea Scrolls, and theological works, informs his inspirational and relatable preaching style. Alongside his supportive wife, he seeks to nurture and grow the faith of his congregation, emphasizing both discipleship and community involvement in living out the gospel message.

RPA is a PAOC church and aligns with the statement of faith we also have drafted one from our pastor.

Person of Christ:

Jesus the everlasting Son of Man, is fully divine and fully human in the person of Jesus

Christ. In the personification, Jesus had taken on human flesh, conceived by the will of the Holy

Ghost and born of Mary a virgin (Matt 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38). Jesus being fully divine

possesses all the godly attributes - omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability, and

eternality. He is the exact representation of God's nature (Heb 1:3). Jesus, fully human,

experienced the full range of human life and emotion, yet without sin. He had a human body,

mind, will and emotions (Luke 2:52; John 11:35; Matt 26:38).

The humanity and deity of Christ are perfectly united in one person, without confusion or

mixture. This hypostatic union enables Jesus to be the perfect mediator between God and

humanity (1 Tim 2:5). His humanity allows him to sympathize with our weaknesses, while his

deity gives him the power to provide eternal salvation.

Work of Christ:

Christ came to earth as a human to make a way back to the Father for all humanity (John

3:16) at all times past, present, and future to any who would believe in the name of Jesus. Jesus lived a sinless life and became sin for us (2 Cor 5:21) by doing the will of the Father, through the

power of the Holy Ghost, and not doing his own will (Luke 22:42). Abandoned by his followers,

mocked by Jewish leaders, and condemned to death on a cross by Roman authorities, Jesus was

laid to rest in a borrowed tomb and rose from the grave on the third day.

Through his sacrificial death on the cross, Christ restored the broken relationship between

God and humanity. This grace and salvation is freely given and accessible to all through faith in

Jesus alone, not by works or efforts (Eph 2:8-9). His completed work on the cross justifies us by

faith, progressively sanctifies us, and promises future glorification to all who trust in him.

Salvation:

Salvation is how God redeems humankind from sin and its results. It is a gift of God's

grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice for our

sins. Christ, who had been left in the tomb for three days, was raised by God's power to eternal

life (1 Cor 6:14) and had ascended to the Father (Dan 7:13), making a way for humanity to have

fellowship with God once again. We are forgiven and reconciled to God through repentance and

faith, becoming new creations in Christ (1 Cor 5:17).

Church:

The Ekklesia is a group of people who profess faith in Jesus Christ. It is also called the

Bride of Christ and his Body, as he is the head (1 Col 1:18). The Church started at the first

coming of Christ and has included all believers and righteous people pre-Christ incarnation. The

Church is united by Christ the head and by the Spirit of God who is in all believers (Eph 4:4), not

by human efforts. The Church has a united mission to share the Good News of the Kingdom of

God with all nations and perform the ordinances given by Christ (Matt 28:19-20). This includes

praise, teaching, equipping, and serving both believers within the Church and non-believers

outside of the church to demonstrate the love of God (1 Cor 14:26).

Ordinances:

Water baptism is a significant outward expression of an inward change that has already

taken place in the life of a believer (Col 2:12). It is a public display of a believer's faith in Jesus

Christ and an outward expression of our identity with his death and resurrection (1 Cor 10:2).

Baptism is only for individuals who have made a personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ

(Acts 2:38, 8:37). Baptism by full immersion best represents a believer's death to the sinful

nature and resurrection to new life in Christ (Rom 6:4).

The Lord's Supper represents a symbolic reminder of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross

and the redemption that he has secured for us through his death and resurrection. It is a time of

fellowship, unity, and remembrance, as we break bread and drink the cup in memory of our

Savior (1 Cor 11:23-26). It is important to approach the Lord's Supper with a heart of reverence

and self-analysis (1 Cor 11:27-32). The Lord's Supper is a sacred time where believers come into

the presence of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, united as his body, and celebrate the

victory that Christ has won for us. It is a foretaste of the heavenly banquet that awaits us, where

we will feast with our Lord and Savior for all eternity.

Eschatology

The study of the last things to come, starting with the first coming of Jesus Christ in

human flesh as according to the scriptures (Heb &:1-3). Next, the death and resurrection of

Jesus Christ and his ascension to the Father so the promised Holy Spirit may come (Joel 2:28-29

and Acts 2:1-4). The blessed hope of the coming second return of Christ on the Last Day is

spoken throughout the scriptures when evil will cease to exist and God will restore the world to

its prelapsarian state.

Revelation

God has unveiled Himself to all creation, conscience and throughout all history as general revelation and to individuals or a community in the form of special revelation. God has also revealed Himself in the writings of the Bible that teaches us what to believe and how to live life. God has also inspired the writings of the Bible through the work of the Holy Spirit that gave the authors of the Bible thoughts even though the authors choose the words to convey the thoughts. The Bible can be fully trusted and achieves its saving purpose despite scientific and historical blemishes; is without error and all biblical discrepancies can be resolved.

God’s Attributes

According to God’s nature, He is in continual opposition to all things evil, is sinless, omnipotent within His nature, eternal, omniscient, is the very essence of love, compelled to sooth misery, heal painful afflictions and accepts sinful humans by grace. God is patient and expresses His kindness through steadfast, enduring and faithful love. God is Spirit and is not affected by emotions or affliction but understands affliction. God remains faithful, generous and understanding. God is holy and through His holiness reveals His glory and always acts with complete knowledge and correct values. 

Trinity

God is uncreated and uncaused before existence and will remain even after existence. God, therefore, is within creation, however, is not creation itself but above the created order in that He is uncreated. God is undivided and is one eternal, fully divine, that is self-revealed in the Holy Scriptures as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and is known as three persons that is God. The Person of Jesus Christ is fully divine, uncreated, eternal, coequal, self-revealed in the Holy Scriptures with the Father and Holy Spirit as God.

Creation

God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe from nothing, freely, out of love, proclaiming that everything in creation is good. God’s greatest achievement in all material existence is humankind; in that humankind was created bearing the image of God. The creation process according to the Holy Scriptures was completed in six days taken from the book of Genesis; a literal translation of the Hebrew word “Yom” suggests that each day is an extended period that explains the formation of geological and microevolutionary changes within creation itself. 

Providence

God’s providence is His divine power that is continually at work, upholding, preserving and governing creation. God being able to see ahead makes wise provision for creation, though at times, the use of Angels who are spiritual beings created by God to serve Him and His people and supernatural workings known as miracles.  Humans are responsible for the care of creation in spite of continual impinging of Satan, demons, sufferings on this planet as a result of non-human causes and moral evil, a result of human sin.

Humanity

God has created humankind in His image apart from the rest of creation that holds a unique relationship with God and has dominion over the created order to care for God’s creation. Humankind was designed for each other for love and to be loved and is composed of three parts being the spirit, soul, and body. Although the Bible indicated two humans at the point of creation, God created many other humans besides Adam and Eve.

Sin

Sin is a direct result of the angelic rebellion against God resulting in a three-form method of death, starting with Spiritual death in humankind that leads to physical death in humankind, and without redemption will result in eternal death, that comes from the wrath and judgment of God. Sin can come in many forms such as pride of power or an attempt to control people and situations around. Pride is also a source of refusal to acknowledge our intellectual limitations in what is called pride of knowledge, and finally pride of religion, or the focus of one’s religious acts to obtain a higher form of godliness above another.
