2 Timothy 3:15-17
(KJV)
The beliefs held and exposed by Apostolic Ministries solely rest in the 66 books of the Holy Bible, from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation. As Paul the Apostle stated, and we rigorously affirm, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." In these timeless passages written by a sweet, loving God unto the people of this world, do we find our direction, our council, our hope, and our very salvation in the name of Jesus Christ.
Bible: The Bible, written through the hand of holy men of God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. [Luke 24:44; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:21]
God: There is one all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. [Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16]
Sin and Salvation: All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Everyone needs salvation from our sins. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ: the blood shed on Calvary. Our basic and fundamental doctrine shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. [Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; I Peter 3:20,21; Mark 16:16; Titus 3:5]
Gospel: The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). [I Corinthians 15:1-6; Acts 2:37-39; Romans 6:3-5]
Christian Living: As Christians we are to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength and love others as we love ourselves. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. And we should participate in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, which are for the church today. [Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10]
Future: Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. [I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15]
