History
 | This section requires expansion. |
The Japanese occupation of Malaya, North Borneo and Sarawak and post-war developments resulted in the intentional indigenization of the mission and a Bible school was established in Lawas in 1947. By 1959, a local church organization was established with organizational help from the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Indonesia and the new entity, named Sidang Injil Borneo worked in parallel with the BEM.
In 1972, a Bible school was established in Miri to cope with the increased demand for trained workers. With the merger of the BEM with the Overseas Missionary Fellowship in 1979, the SIB had grown into an indigenous self-governing, self-supporting and self-propagating church.
The SIB expanded its work to the state of Sabah in 1974 and SIB Sabah was organised in 1976. By 1993, SIB had established a nationwide presence when SIB Semenanjung was inaugurated in November of the same year.
Beliefs and practices
The beliefs of the SIB are contained within a Statement of faith framed within an Evangelical Charismatic context [3]:- We believe in the inspiration of the Scriptures as originally given. The Scriptures are infallible, inerrant, and the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct
- We believe in the eternal God the Father, the Creator of the universe
- We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis, his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain divine righteousness
- We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Messiah of Israel, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary
- We believe the Messiah died and became the sacrificed Lamb for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day and personally appeared to His disciples
- We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to Heaven, His exaltation, and personal, literal, and bodily coming again in the second time for His people
- We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the Cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins
- We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the eternal God in order to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus the Messiah
- We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit
- We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as expressing the true Messianic faith
- We believe in the reality and personality of the devil and eternal judgment in the lake of fire prepared for the devil, his angels and those who follow him
- We believe in eternal life for believers and eternal punishment for the unbelievers
- We believe in the reality of one new man made up of Jews and Gentiles. There is one universal Body of Messiah, made up of genuine believers, but this one universal Body is also composed of many local fellowships in given localities. These fellowships are under the sovereign headship of the Lord Jesus the Messiah, exercising autonomous government under Him, administering all its local affairs, and ministry, as well as the propagation of the Gospel
- We believe that government is ordained of God, and powers that be are ordained ministers of God to us for good. To resist the powers and ordinances is to resist the ordinance of God. We are subject not only for wrath sake, but for conscience sake, rendering to all their dues, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. We declare our loyalty to our government and its leaders and will assist in every way possible consistent with our faith in the Scriptures as Christian citizens

Tema SIB Sabah 2010-2012
Kebangunan Rohani
Fokus Doa
Kenali Kawasan
BERIMAN DINAMIK - Ibrani 11:6 "Tetapi tanpa iman tidak mungkin orang berkenan kepada Allah. Sebab barangsiapa berpaling kepada Allah, ia harus percaya bahwa Allah ada, dan bahwa Allah memberi upah kepada orang yang sungguh-sungguh mencari Dia."Perubahan suatu masyarakat tidak mungkin terjadi secara tiba-tiba atau secara kebetulan. Berbagai bangsa di dunia akan bangkit setelah tidur, menjadi kuat setelah mengalami kelemahan, dan mengalami kemajuan setelah mundur; setelah mereka mendapat didikan sihat dan baik. Atau dengan lain perkataan, setelah mengalami perubahan jiwa dan pola berfikir. Mereka yang asalnya pasif menjadi aktif dan yang berputus asa menjadi bersemangat dan bertekad tinggi.
Perubahan akan bermula apabila kita mula merubah cara kita mendengar, cara kita melihat, cara kita menggunakan kata-kata dan cara kita melakukan sesuatu. KIta akan mula menikmati perubahan apabila kita berkata "YA" dan memulakan langkah pertama berserta DOA dengan YAKIN dan PERCAYA.
Mahukah kita berubah? Untuk siapakah kita berubah? Apakah perubahan yang kita inginkan?
Kita bersyukur kerana TUHAN pasti melakukannya "Aku bersyukur kepada-Mu oleh kerana kejadianku dahsyat dan ajaib; ajaib apa yang Kau buat, dan jiwaku benar-benar menyadarinya." Mazmur 139:14
Berdoa untuk kebangunan rohani dalam negeri kita. TUHAN pasti akan melakukannya apabila kita mula perpaling dari rancangan-rancangan sendiri kepada rancangan-rancangan yang TUHAN mahu kita lakukan. Kita mulakan dari perkara-perkara kecil untuk mencapai hal-hal yang lebih besar.Latest News
