Our Believe in Freedom Christian Life Ministries International.
The Bible in its entirety is the infallible word of God, written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit – II Timothy. 3:10-17.
We believe that there is only one God, Who is the Creator of all things. Existing in three persons. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. John 14:16-17, Colossians 2:9
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ.
We believe there is a devil, who seeks the down fall of every man. He brought sickness, sin and death into the world. Genesis.3:1-16. He seeks the destruction of those who exercise their faith in the Lord Jesus. Matt. 4:1-11; James 4:7; I Peter 5:8.
We believe all have sinned (Romans 3:23-26) and needs salvation. Conviction through the power of the Holy Spirit will bring about repentance. This is the sorrow of a godly man for his/her sins with decision to abstain from them – Acts 3:19; 20:21; II Cor. 7:10; Mark 1:15; Is. 55:7.
We believe in the new birth. Whereby a sinner is cleansed from his/her sins. Acts 13:39; Rom. 3:25-26; Romans 5:1; I Corinthians. 6:11; Gal. 3:24; John 1:12-13; 3:3; II
We believe in sanctification, by which our souls are progressively and completely cleansed. This is the second accomplishment of the grace which through our faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ is wrought after we have been justified and free from our sins or regenerated – John 17:15-17; I Thess. 4:3; Heb. 2:11; 12:14; 13:12; I John 1:7; Luke 1:74, 75; II Cor. 7:1; I Peter 1:16.
We believe in Baptism by immersion, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Matt. 28:19.Acts 2:24; Acts 16:15; Acts 18:8; Acts 19:4-5. Every saved soul automatically qualifies for Water Baptism – Acts 8:29-39; 16:18-23.Water Baptism is an outward sign of a true repentant sinner. (Acts 2:38; Acts 22:6) who is joined with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection – Rom. 6:1 – 23.
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. A born-again soul should desire and pray for the Holy Spirit from above; with evidence of speaking in tongues, as the Apostles were ordered to wait in Jerusalem until they were filled from above. Luke 24:49; John 4:14-26; Acts 5:32; Acts 8:14-39, Acts 2:24; Romans6:1
We believe in prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit helps our infirmities in prayer – Rom. 8:26-27 I Tim. 2:25. Without faith our prayer is useless. James 1:6-8; Heb. 11:6. Is. 42:22; Is. 64:6-7. Problems, attacks and danger are experienced in the absence of prayer –We are to pray without ceasing – Col. 4:2; I Thess. 5:17; I Cor. 7:5; Luke 18:1, Acts 6:4; Rom. 6:4; Rom 1:9; Col. 1:9. James 4:2; Dan. 9:3; Matt. 7:7-11; Matt. 9:24-29; Luke 11:13.
We believe in restitution. Paying back what we wrongfully take from others. This is a sign of true repentance. Ezekiel.22:3. Lev. 6:1-7; Luke 19:8; Prov. 28:13; Acts 24:16.
We believe in supernatural healing (without medicine is Biblical) – Matt. 4:23; Ps. 103:3;– Job 2:1-9; Luke 13:15; Acts 10:3 By His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5; Gal. 3:13; I Peter 2:24. The twelve Apostles and the seventy disciples combined healing with their Ministry. Luke 9:1-2; Luke 10:1-9. The Lord commanded us to go into the world, to preach the good news and heal the sick – Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 10:1, Mark 16:15-18.
We believe Christians should not swear or curse or blaspheme. “Bless, and curse not” Rom. 12:14. Swear not either by Heaven, or by the earth or any other swearing. But let your yes be yes, and no be no Matt. 5:34; James 5:12.
We believe that all Christians are to obey the law of the country, the government and authority. They should give honor to elders and their parents. I Peter 2:13-14; Rom 13:1-5; Eph. 6:1-3.
We believe nobody should owe or refuse to pay outstanding debt. The Bible teaches us to “owe no man anything, but to love one another” – Rom. 13:7-8. About Debt: 1. Monetary Debt 2. Debt of promise or Vow – Ps.105:8 3. Debt of time – Eccl. 3:1-8 4. Debt of not preaching the Gospel – I Cor. 16-17
We believe that we should be moderate in our dressing. “Not with braided hair, or gold, or costly apparel, but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” I Tim. 2:8-9; I Peter 3:1-6; Gen. 35:1-4; Ex. 32:1-8.
We believe in Church discipline. If there be found any member living contrary to the teachings and doctrine of the Bible. She/he may be disciplined privately, but if any backslider would not admit discipline and restitute her/his way, she/he may be disciplined openly as it is written in Matthew. 18:15-18, rebuke them that sinned before all that others also may fear – I Timothy. 5:20; I Corinthians. 5:1-13; II Cor. 2:6-11; Hebrews. 12:5-12.
We believe in marriage. Hebrews.13:4. Therefore all members who wish to marry could do so. 1John 2:15-17; Romans 12 Divorce is permissible only when a life partner has committed adultery. Matt. 5:31-32, 19:9; Mark 10:11-12; Luke 16:18; Rom. 7:2-3; Mal. 2:13-16; Gen. 2:18: Matt. 19:4-6.
We believe in baby dedication. After the birth of a baby, the parent will bring him/her to the Church for dedication unto the Lord – 1 Sam. 1:22; Luke. 22:22-24; Matt. 19:13-15.
We believe in Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper. Jesus Christ commanded all Christians to regularly share the bread and wine till He comes back again – Luke 22:17-20; Matt. 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; I Cor. 10:18, 21; Acts 2:42; 20:7; I Cor. 11:23-30.
We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ. It will be in physical form and will be visible to all in like manner as He was seen ascending up to heavens – Acts 1:9-11; John 14:3. His return will be in two stages: 1. Christ’s return in the sky – The Saints or Bride of Christ will be raptured to meet Christ in the sky – I Thess. 4:15-17; I Cor. 15:51-52; Matt. 24:40-44; Matt 25:10
2. His return to the earth to judge the sinners and the ungodly – Revelation. 19:19-21; II Thessalonians. 1:7-10; Jude 1:14-15; Zechariah. 14:3-4.
We believe in the tribulation period as stated in the Bible. Matthew 24:21; 22:29; Revelation. 16 Is. 26:20-21; Mark 13:19; Jeremiah. 30:7; Daniel 12:1; Malachi 4:1.
We believe in the millennial reign of Christ (1,000 years) this will be after Christ appears upon earth, to set up His Kingdom with the Saints for one thousand years – They shall be the priests of God and of Christ Revelation. 20:1-6; Revelation. 2:26-27. Isaiah 65:18-20. There will be no death. Satan will be chained – Revelation. 20:2-3, it will be the time of peace and blessing. Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25; Hosea 2:18; Zechariah 14:9-20; Is 2:2-4.
We believe that there will be three types of judgments.
- The Judgment of the Believers: This will start immediately believers are caught up in the sky, they shall stand before Christ. After this judgment they will descend down with Christ upon the earth – II Cor. 5:10; I Cor. 3:3; 11-15; James 1:12; Rom 2:16.
- The Judgment of the Nation will be the time when Jesus appears upon earth between the millennial reign and final judgment. Acts 17:31; Joel 3:2; Ez. 14:15; Jud. 1:14-15; II Thessalonians 1:7-10; Rom 2:16; Rev. 1:7; Malachi. 16:21.
- The Judgment of the Unbelievers: or the White Throne Judgment: This will happen after Christ’s one thousand years reign at the White Throne. – Rev. 20:11-15; II Peter 3:7.
We believe that after judgment, this wicked world will be removed. God will create a new Heaven and a new earth in which HOLINESS will exist – Matthew. 24:35; II Peter 3:12-13; Revelation. 21:1-3; Isaiah. 65:17, Isaiah 66:22
We believe that there is eternal punishment as well as eternal life – Matthew. 25:46. The wicked will be thrown into a fiery hell made of sulphur, to be tormented both day and night. The punishment will continue forever and ever – Revelation. 14:10-11; Luke. 16:24; Mark 9:43-44.
We believe that the first day of the week, Sunday is the Lord’s Day. A day for all believers to gather to worship – Acts 20:7; 1Cor. 16:2; Rev. 1:10. The Lord resurrection was on the first day of the week – Ezek. 31:12-14, Mark 16:1-9
