Nation Ministry Faith / What We Believe

Basic Theology

* We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
* We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2Corinthians 13:14)

Becoming a Christian

* We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary
disobedience he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12)
* We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all
who believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the
righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8)
* We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we
are justified before God (1John 1:9)
* We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a
very real one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20)

Doctrine

* We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer
to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16)
* We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we
should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (1 Corinthians 12:1-11;
Galatians 5:22)
* We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and
that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days (Acts 2:4)

* We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matt.
28:19).
* We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of the
bread and juice of the vine (1Corinthians 11:24-25).

The Church

* We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is
by giving of tithes (Malachi 3:10). And most importantly, free-will offerings (2 Corinthians 9:7)
God loves a cheerful giver. Currently Nation Ministry is not set-up to receive donations.
At this time, Nation Ministry is here to serve. The Lord will provide as we go along. We pray that you are a blessing by giving back to your community.
* We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church (James-
5:20)
* We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Body of Christ (Acts
16:5; Hebrews 10:25)

Daily Living

* We believe that it is the will of God That we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the
faith (Hebrews 6:1).
* We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will
of God (Romans 13:1-5)
* We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into
extremes of fanaticism (Philippians 4:5)
* We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30-32).

The Future

* We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent
(1 Thessalonians 4: 16, 17).
* We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgment seat of God, and there receive eternal life or death. (2 Corinthians 5:10).
* We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14: 1-3; Revelations 7: 15-17).
* We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Savior (Revelations 20: 10,15).
