Statement of Faith
ALIVE GLOBAL MINISTRY
We Believe in:
- The one true God who lives eternally in three
persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
- The love, the grace and sovereignty of God in
creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
- The divine inspiration and supreme authority of
the Old and New Testament scriptures, which are the written Word of God -
fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
- The dignity of all people, made male and female
in God’s image to be holy and respect and care for creation, yet corrupted
by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgment.
- The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord
Jesus Christ - born of the Virgin Mary, truly divine and truly human, yet
without sin.
- The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross
dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so
reconciling us with God.
- The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first
fruits of our resurrection, His ascension to the Father, and His reign and
mediation as the only Savior of the world.
- The love of God that compels obedience to the
Great Commission and the justification of sinners solely by the grace of
God through faith in Christ.
- The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads
us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our
discipleship and enables our public witness.
- The church, the body of Christ both local and
universal, the priesthood of all believers - given life by the Holy Spirit
and endowed with the gifts of the Spirit to worship God and proclaim the
gospel, promoting a life style of prayer.
- The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ
to fulfill the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgment,
bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost,
and establish a new heaven and a new earth.
