What We Believe
FINAL THRUST MINISTRIES' STATEMENT
OF FAITH
WE BELIEVE:
That the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible
Word of God.
In one God eternally existent as three persons, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit.
That Jesus is true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Ghost,
born of the virgin Mary; that He died on the cross and shed
His blood as God’s only acceptable sacrifice for sin; that
He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and is seated
at the right hand of the Father.
That man was created in the image and likeness of God, but fell
into sin, and can be justified only by grace through personal
faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and savior.
That when a person believes on and receives Jesus Christ into
their life they receive Eternal Life, the Life or nature of the
Eternal God, whereby they become a child of God and must then
be trained how to live according to their new nature until they
are once again reflecting the image and likeness of God.
In the personal, literal second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
to judge both the living and the dead; in everlasting blessedness
for the believer, and judgment and eternal punishment for the
unbeliever.
In the baptism of the Holy spirit with speaking in tongues, in
divine healing and in the gifts, fruit and anointed ministries
of the Holy Spirit.
That the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to every believer
and need to be stirred up and exercised to fulfill their divine
purpose of making disciples of all peoples and blessing the body
of Christ.
In the full function of the five-fold ministry or governmental
office gifts viz: apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and
teachers, given to perfect and equip the saints so they can enter
into the work of their ministries; thereby making disciples of
all peoples and edifying the body of Christ.
That the church is God’s instrument to establish and extend
God’s Kingdom on earth until the literal coming of Christ
to rule and reign over all the earth.
