WORLD WIDE MINISTRIES
OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. WE BELIEVE... The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
2. WE BELIEVE... There is only One True God revealed in three persons... Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
3. WE BELIEVE... In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.
3. WE BELIEVE... In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.
4. WE BELIEVE... Though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
5. WE BELIEVE... Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through "Salvation" (accepting Christ's offer of forgiveness for sin).
6. WE BELIEVE... And practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.
7. WE BELIEVE... The Baptism in the Holy Ghost is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.
8. WE BELIEVE... And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4.
9. WE BELIEVE... Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation
and is not only a declaration that a believer is Holy, but also a
progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers
continually draw closer to God and become more Christ like.
10. WE BELIEVE... The Church has a Mission
to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe "The Church" is
the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time,
have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious
denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
11. WE BELIEVE... A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained
Leadership Ministry Serves The Church. The Bible teaches that each of
us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ,
to worship Him with other believers, and to build up or edify the body
of believers–The Church.
12. WE BELIEVE... Divine Healing of the
Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in
Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins).
13. WE BELIEVE... In The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Catches Up His
Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future
moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves
and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be
caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.
14. WE BELIEVE... In The Millennial Reign of
Christ when Jesus returns with His Saints at His second coming and
begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial
reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment
of universal peace.
15. WE BELIEVE... A Final Judgment Will Take
Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their
sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
16. WE BELIEVE... And look forward to the perfect New Heavens
and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time,
who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever
following His millennial reign on Earth. "And so shall we forever be
with the Lord!"
