OUR BELIEF

God The Father

The first person of the Trinity orders and directs all things according to His purpose and pleasure. He created humanity to bring Him glory and honor through His grace. While He is transcendent, He is also actively involved in His creation, offering an eternal relationship with us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Matthew 6:9; John 5:19-24; Ephesians 1:3-6; 2:1-10

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” – Matthew 25:40 (NIV)

GOD THE SON

Jesus Christ is God’s eternal Son and man’s virgin-born Son. Fully God, fully man, He surrendered nothing of His deity during His earthly life. His sinless, sacrificial offering on the cross satisfied the Father’s justice, offering atonement for all of humanity’s sins for all time. We believe in His bodily resurrection, physical ascension, and visible return to earth to establish His earthly kingdom.

John 1:14-18; Colossians 1:15-20

“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”– 1 Timothy 4:12 (ESV)

God The Spirit

The Holy Spirit executes God’s will through humanity by leading, guiding, filling, teaching, and convicting. He is not merely an impersonal force but a person displaying the qualities of personhood (intellect, emotions, and will). Upon conversion, the Holy Spirit equips believers by giving them gifts to build up the church and bearing fruit through their yielded lives.

 

John 16:7-11; Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:22-25

Matthew 6:9; John 5:19-24; Ephesians 1:3-6; 2:1-10

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” – Matthew 25:40 (NIV)

HUMANITY

We are created in the image of God, destined to enjoy an intimate relationship with Him and one another, fulfilling His will here on earth. Through Adam and Eve’s willful sin in the garden, sin entered the world and infected humanity. Due to our inherent sinful nature received from our Father Adam, we are separated from God, spiritually dead, and destined for physical death and an eternity removed from God.

 

Genesis 1-3; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3

John 1:14-18; Colossians 1:15-20

“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”– 1 Timothy 4:12 (ESV)

Salvation

Jesus Christ died for our sins as the only sufficient sacrifice, offering atonement for the sins of humankind through His death, burial, and resurrection. While salvation is available to all, it is only experienced by those who receive His gracious gift by faith, apart from works. As a result of our new relationship with God through His Son, Jesus, we are called to a life of submission to the Holy Spirit, manifesting spiritual fruit, and walking in good works that God has prepared beforehand for us to do.

 

John 14:6; Acts 4:12; John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-9; Hebrews 10:10-14; 1 John 5:11-13; Galatians 3:26; John 3:16

THE SCRIPTURES

We believe God inspires every word in the original writings without error. God’s Word reveals God’s nature and will for all of humanity and is to be the foundation of faith and practice. We affirm that while God’s Word is accurate in all matters, it is not given as an end in and of itself but rather a means to a relationship with God.

2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Hebrews 4:12; John 17:17

 

Genesis 1-3; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3

John 1:14-18; Colossians 1:15-20

“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”– 1 Timothy 4:12 (ESV)

THE CHURCH

All who place their faith in God through His Son, Jesus Christ, are a part of the universal body of believers known as the Church. The purpose of the local church is to lead people to Christ and bring them to maturity in Him. Members of the local church are to live lives in humble submission to other Spirit-led believers and the God-appointed leaders of the church. The Voice of Revival Movement is not a local church and should not be replaced. All our members must belong to a local church and be subjected to their spiritual leaders’ leadership. Our programs will direct all new converts to a Christ-believing church we trust.

 

Hebrews 10:24-25; Acts 2:41- 47; 1 Corinthians 12-14; Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17

THE KINGDOM

God promises to make all things new at the end of all things. He invites us, His followers, to join Him in this work of renewal on earth. The signs of His kingdom coming are salvation, joy, peace, justice, God’s presence, belonging, and healing.
