Statement
Of Faith
As Christian ministers, associated together for fellowship
and service in International Apostolic Ministries, we formulate
the
following declaration of things most surely believed among
us, praying there will be no harmful or derisive differences
among
us and that we may keep the unity of the faith in love, to
the which all men may see the example set before them and therefore
preach Christ to the world as the only means of salvation from
sin and its effects and thus glorify God.
That we may all be of the same mind, same judgment, speaking
the same things, (1 Corinthians 1:10) building up Jesus Christ,
the Chief Corner Stone (1 Pet. 2:6), known as the I AM (John
8:58), the Apostle and High Priest of our confession (Hebrews
3:1) and the things taught in the Holy Scriptures concerning
Him; edifying His people and giving Christian witness to the
world.
We believe:
In the One True God, who reveals Himself
in three distinct persons; God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit. The Three
being one and equal and eternally self existent as the Great "I
AM".
...That Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son, born of a virgin,
who ministered the love and the will of the Father, was, and is, very God and
Creator of all
things.
...That He was crucified and died for all men,
and then overcame death by resurrecting from the grave on the
third day that man
might
have new life in Him.
...That He ascended to the Father and presented His precious
Blood, and is seated at the right-hand of the Father therefore
becoming intercession for us all, and has sent forth His Holy
Spirit to indwell and empower believers.
...That this same Jesus
is LORD of all.
...That He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
...That you must be born-again, receiving Jesus Christ as LORD
and Savior, in order to see the Kingdom of God.
...That believers
should be baptized with water.
...That He will baptize believers
with the Holy Ghost and fire. This is according to Acts Chapters
One and Two with the evidence
of signs and wonders including speaking with other tongues.
...That
all the gifts of the Spirit are operable in the Church of Jesus
Christ today.
...That the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
...That the LORD
Jesus Christ will soon return!
… In unity of believers of all denominations in the fellowship
of the "Church" in love and worship of Jesus Christ
as LORD, in one accord.
…
That God is no respecter of persons, for, in Christ "there is neither
Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male or female:
for
ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
...That as believers we have been given
a universal commission to "Go into
all the world and preach the gospel..."
… That as believers we must not
forsake the assembling of ourselves together (and all the more
in these last days). That Church attendance, fellowship, and
submission
one to another, will play a very important part in our deliverance from
this world.
… That God has set in the Church
the five-fold ministry gifts of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists,
Shepherds and Teachers, for the equipping of
the saints for the
work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ.
Besides
these tenets, we strongly believe that women have equal right to
five-fold ministry and leadership in any church government.
We
are a people of a "new wine" experience and will
remain so.
