Statement of Faith

The following is a list of the articles of faith and teachings of Global Missions Inc:

1. There is one true, almighty, eternal God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, who are one.
2. God is the creator and Lord of all things.
3. The Holy Bible is the divinely inspired word of God. It is without error in all its teachings, including creation, history, its own origins, and salvation.
4. Salvation from man’s sin and depravity requires forgiveness from God and the New Birth. This is obtained only through faith in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, and in His efficacious death on the cross of Calvary and His resurrection from the dead, without which one cannot see, nor enter the Kingdom of God.
5. A believer is called upon to live a holy and righteous life in harmony with the teachings of the Holy Bible, submitting to those in authority over him both spiritual and civil.
6. A believer should be baptized in water, confirming his faith and obedience to the Lord.
7. Every believer should experience the infilling of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues. Every believer should receive gifts of the Spirit, as the Spirit of God wills, by the laying on of hands and prophecy; thus enabling him to enter into a Spiritual ministry. This will empower him to live a fruitful and godly life, full of good works, i.e. caring for the widow and the fatherless in their affliction, zealous in the witness of the gospel to every creature, and the fulfillment of his own personal ministry as a member of the one holy, universal church, which is the body of Christ.
8. There is a life hereafter; Heaven for the righteous, Hell for the wicked and rebellious, God Himself being the only one who makes this judgement.
9. We believe in the ever-unfolding revelation of Jesus Christ, His salvation and coming Kingdom, and His infinite, unfailing love for all mankind.
10. Jesus Christ, in God’s appointed time, will return to the earth to raise the dead, judge and rule over the nations with His church, the body of Christ, in His everlasting Kingdom.
11. The central theme of the “Move of the Spirit” is the coming together of the body of Christ.
12. Such other revelation as brought by the Holy Spirit to the apostolic ministry may be added to the articles of faith and the statement of teachings of Global Missions from time to time, being confirmed by the Bible and all the Apostolic Elders.
13. We believe in obeying the laws of the land, as we are instructed to do in the Holy Bible

We also believe and teach the following concerning:

1. Racial Discrimination - we in no way endorse or excuse racial discrimination.
2. Sexual Immorality - all sexual activity, outside of the bond of marriage, which God defines as between one man and one woman, is sinful, as is clearly stated in the Bible
3. Child and Spousal Abuse - no one has the right to abuse anyone, much less those who are as near and dear as one’s spouse or children.
4. Sexual Abuse and Harassment - this behaviour must not be tolerated by anyone in any group, home or workplace.
5. Abortion - we believe that abortion is murder; the killing of a person who has no ability to protect himself / herself. The only exception would be where the life of the mother is at risk.
6. Divorce - divorce is not in God’s plan for the human race. It is having a devastating effect on our society.
