Greater Love Outreach Ministries International, Inc | Church Constitution

STATEMENT OF FAITH

        We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the

         inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete

         revelation of His Will for the salvation of men, and the Divine and final authority

         for all Christian faith and life  (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20,21, John 10:34-35,

         John 5:39, John 20:31).

        We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and

        eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

        (Deuteronomy 6:4, Genesis 1:1, I John 5:7, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew

        28:19, II Corinthians 13:14, James 2:19, Isaiah 40:28, Psalm 19:1,

        Malachi 2:10, Hebrews 5:9, Psalm 90:2)

        We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been

        conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the

        cross, a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He

        arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right

        hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Advocate.

        (John 1:1,14, Galatians 3:13, Hebrews 9:28, Acts 1:9, Hebrews 9:10-12,

        Philippians 2:6-8, Matthew 1:18-25, I Corinthians 15:3-4, Hebrews 10:12,

        Mark 16:19, Hebrews 7:22-28, I John 2:1-2).

        We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord

        Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men, regenerate the

        believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer

        for godly living and service.

        (John 16:13-14, John 16:11, Matthew 18:3, I Corinthians 14, John 3:6,

        John 14:26, Titus 3:5, Romans 8:11, Micah 3:8, Acts 1:8).

        We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin

        and is therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit

        can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

        (Hebrews 2:7-9, Genesis 6:5, Genesis 9:6, Romans 3:23, 5:12, 6:23, John

        3:6)

        We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection

        provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who

        believe, and only such as receive Jesus are born of the Holy Spirit, and

        thus become children of God. (Hebrews 9:22, I Peter 1:18-19, II Timothy

        1:12, John 1:12, 3:3-6, John 6:47, Romans 4:25, 5:9-10)

        We believe that the Lord¹s Supper and Water Baptism are ordinances to be

        observed by the Church during this present age. They are, however, not

        to be regarded as means of salvation.

        (I Corinthians 11, Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38,41, Ephesians 2:8, John

        1:12).

        We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who

        through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy

        Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the

        Head.

        (Ephesians 2:18-20, Romans 12:5, Colossians 1:8)

        We believe that only those who are thus members of the aforementioned

        true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local Church.

        (Romans 10:9, Matthew 10:32, Hebrews 10:23-25)

        We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church, and

        that every local Church has the right, under Christ, to decide and

        govern its own affairs.

        (Ephesians 5:23-24, 4:11-12)

        We believe in the personal and imminent coming of our

        Lord Jesus Christ and that this "blessed hope" has a vital bearing on

        the personal life and service of the believer.

        (Acts 1:11, I Thessalonians 4:16-18, Titus 2:13, Revelation 22:20)

        We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to

        everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, of the unbeliever to

        judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.

        (John 5:28, Luke 24:36-43, I Corinthians 15:20-24, II Corinthians 5:10,

        Revelation 20:11-15, I Thessalonians 4:16-17)
