OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH EXPLAINED
The fundamental Beliefs and Essential Doctrines of the Fellowship of All Nations For Christ International.
1. The Scriptures:
We believe the holy Bible to be the inspired word of God, given to us by God our Creator to be a “Lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path” (Psalm 119:105) We assert that the Scriptures are a sacred revelation, written by the Holy men of old who speak as they were move by God’s Holy Spirit; and that these writings are the divinity appointed standard and guide to our faith and practice. Holding fast this truth, that “all Scriptures is given by inspiration of God, and it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16), and as we strive to study, memorize and obey it, we may grow in faith, wisdom and spiritual strength through our knowledge of and adherence to its tenets.
God’s word as revealed in the Holy Bible is the basis and cornerstone of all our beliefs and practices. It is the mainstay of our spiritual strength and nourishment, its principals are the foundation of he the instructions we give our children, and it truth is the basis of the source of the witness we give to others. We come to the Bible not merely as source of knowledge, which indeed it is, but much more importantly, through a prayerful reading of it’s pages we are able to “partake of the Divine Nature”(2 Peter 1:4), to commune with Jesus, who is himself the living Words that I peak unto you they are Spirit, and they are live” (John 6”63). (see also Matthew 24:35; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:19-21; John 8:31; 1 John 2:5; Romans 10:17; Psalm 119:99,100; Jeremiah 15:16; 2 Timothy 2: 15; 3:15 4:2 John 1:4)
2. GOD
We affirm our belief in the one true eternal God, the all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present invisible spirit of Love who is the Creator and Supreme-ruler of the universe and all things therein. We believe in the unity of the Godhead, that there are three distinguishable but inseparable Persons,: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (see Isaiah 43:10, 11; John 2:24; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:8; 5:7)
