THE STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe in the full inspiration of the Word of God. We hold the Word of God to be the only authority in all matters and assert that no doctrine can be true, or essential, if it does not find place in His Word.

We as Christians embrace both the Old Testament and New Testament as the clearest and only revelation of God to man, through Jesus Christ, and can readily see and believe God better in the light of His revelation to us by His Son, Jesus Christ.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the human and bodily manifestation of the Divine Redeemer. We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born of a virgin called Mary (Miriam) according to the scripture (Matthew 1:18), thus giving rise to our fundamental belief in the Virgin Birth and to all the miraculous events surrounding this phenomenon.

We believe in the unmerited gift of Salvation (Eph. 2:8). We believe that once a person sins, he dies spiritually (Rom. 7:9). We believe, therefore, that all who have sinned must be saved by faith (born-again) in order to be reconciled to God (Rom. 5:1). We believe that the born-again experience requires five things: first, one must believe in the True and Living God and His Messiah Jesus Christ (Acts 16:30-31); secondly, one must believe in his heart that Jesus Christ died on a cross for his sins and was resurrected from the dead (Rom. 3:22-25); thirdly, one must confess with his mouth his belief in Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord of his life (Rom. 10:9); fourthly, he must repent of his sins by changing all of his words, thoughts, and actions that are contrary to the Word of God as outlined in the Scriptures (Acts 2:38); fifthly, one must be baptized in water (Acts 8:36-38). We believe that salvation entitles any believer to the covenantal promises of the Old and New Testament, including the hope of Eternal Life (2 Cor. 7:1, Tit. 1:2).

We believe in the merited gift of Eternal Life (Rom. 6:23). We believe that Eternal Life must be inherited by the believer through holiness, purity, and obedience to the commandments of God (Mat. 19:17). We believe that the gift of Eternal Life is the only thing that entitles the believer's entrance into Heaven (Heb. 12:14). We believe that one's disobedience to God's commandments separates him from the privilege of Eternal Life and condemns him to Hell and the Second Death, the Lake of Fire (Rev. 21:8).

As Christians, we believe that the Holy Ghost is a gift bestowed upon the believer for the purpose of equipping and empowering the believer, making him or her a more effective witness for service in the world. We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Ghost is an experience subsequent to conversion and sanctification and that tongue speaking is the consequence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the manifestations of the fruit of the Spirit. When one receives a baptismal Holy Ghost experience, we believe one will speak a language or tongue according to the sovereign will of Christ unknown to oneself.

THE VISION STATEMENT

"Where there is no vision (no redemptive revelation of God), the people perish…" Proverbs 29:18

There is only one church.  This is a ministry.  This is not Chief Apostle's ministry, this is our ministry. If it's going to be, it's up to me.

THREE COMPONENTS:

Spiritual  - "He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these sign will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." Mark 16:15-20

Natural  - Build spiritual lives, build spiritual leaders, build physical structures.

Financial  - Financial freedom for all saints, financial freedom for the Man of God and the Ministry.

THREE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS VISION

• Holiness/Purity
• Faith
• Power
