Statement of Faith

What we believe, teach, and stand upon at Gracious Gospel Ministries International.

The Sovereign God

We believe in the sovereign God, eternally existing in the three persons, the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

1 John 5:7, 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
02

Creation and The Fall

We believe that God is the creator of all things, of things in heaven, things on earth, things visible and invisible. That God created man in his image, but man sinned and thereby incurred the death penalty, physical and spiritual, that all human races inherit sinful nature that issues in actual transgressions involving personal guilt in the case of those who reach responsibility.

Genesis 1, Hebrews 11:3
03

Resurrection and Ascension

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, his ascension into heaven and his present life as our high priest and advocate.

The Second Coming

We do believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the father and the son, and with the father and the son is worshipped and glorified, and that the Holy Spirit is not an influence or power but true God.

John 15:26, John 16:7, John 14:15-17

Christ the Only Savior

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only savior and mediator between God and man. That he died for our sins. A substitutionary sacrifice according to the scriptures and that all who believes in him are justified on the grounds of his shed blood.

Acts 4:10-12, John 14:6, Romans 3:21-26

The Five-Fold Ministry

We believe in the divinely ordained ministers of apostles, prophets, evangelists, Pastors and Teachers, that these ministers will function in the church until the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ and that they are delegated authority of Jesus Christ in the church.

Ephesians 4
12

The Universal Church

We believe in the one true universal church of Jesus Christ, that all who are redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit in every generation, nation and tribe are part of the Church.

1 Corinthians 12:12-14
13

Eternal Punishment

We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, eternal punishment of those who rejected the offer of salvation.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
14

Righteousness & Sanctification

We believe in the doctrine of righteousness, sanctification as definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the new birth and continuing until the salvation is complete.

1 Corinthians 1:30, Philippians 3:12-14
15

Divine Omnipotence

We believe that there is nothing impossible before God.

Matthew 19:26
16

Restoration of the Church

We believe in the restoration of the church, that the Holy Spirit is restoring the biblical foundation doctrines, practices and ministry gifts into the church and such are open to any further revelation, which the Holy Spirit may illustrate from the scriptures.

17

Holy Ordinances

We believe in water baptism and the Lord's supper as two ordinances by the Lord Jesus Christ to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witness to the cordial facts of the Christian faith; baptism is the immersion of a believer in water as an act of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection, and the Lord's supper is the partaking of bread and wine, symbolic of the savior's broken body and his shed blood in remembrance of his death till he comes.

18

The Local Church

We believe in the local church and in the sovereignty of the local church, that the local church is the active, working visible counterpart of the universal church, that every and any member of the universal church must be a member of the local church.
