Apostle-Ministry.org Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, trustworthy, and true, without error, Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
- We believe there is only one God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
- We believe Jesus Christ is God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and lived a sinless life, in His miracles, in His death that He paid the price for our sin through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension/rising up to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1-2), (Hebrews 4:15), (Romans 8:2-3)
- We believe that through Jesus Christ, God made one new man, "which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." (Ephesians 4:24)
- We believe that God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24)
- We believe that one must be a born-again believer and that the acceptance of Jesus Christ and the regenerating renewal of the Holy Spirit is the only path to salvation for lost/unsaved men and women. (John 3:16), (John 3:5-7), (Romans 8:1), (John 5:24)
- We believe in the present person and ministry of the Holy Spirit, who lives within our hearts and guides Christians so they are enabled to live godly lives. (Isaiah 11:2), (John 14:15-17), (John 16:13-15), (Ephesians 1:13-14)
- We believe in eternal life through the Lamb of God (John 1:29) and that through Faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, we spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven and shall reign with Him in His new Kingdom. (Revelation 21:1-4)
- We believe that in rejecting Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God as Lord and Savior, unsaved sinners will go to eternal suffering in the Lake of Fire, while believers will be separated into eternal life. (Matthew 25:21-34), (1 Thessalonians 4:14-16; Revelation 20:5-6;12-14)
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that all believers are members of His body, the church. (Philippians 2:1-5), (Ephesians 4:4-7)
- We Believe God's design for sexual intimacy is to be expressed only within the context of marriage. God instituted marriage between one man and one woman as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:23-24), (Mark 10:6-9), (Romans 1:26-27), (1 Corinthians 6:9)
- We believe that God created all human beings in His image. Therefore, we believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; that we must honor the physical and spiritual needs of all people; following Christ's example, we believe that every person should be treated with love, dignity, and respect. (Psalm 139:13), (Isaiah 49:1), (Matthew 22:37), (Romans 12:17-18; 21), (Galatians 6:10)
