The following is a list of the articles of faith and teachings of Global Missions
Inc:
| 1. |
We believe in the one true, almighty, eternal God: God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, who are one. |
| 2. |
We believe that God is the creator and Lord of all things. |
| 3. |
We believe that the Holy Bible is the divinely inspired word of God.
It is without error in all its teachings, including creation, history, its
own origins, and salvation. |
| 4. |
We believe that salvation from man’s sin and depravity requires
forgiveness from God and the New Birth. This is obtained only through faith
in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, and in His efficacious death on the cross
of Calvary and His resurrection from the dead, without which one cannot
see, nor enter the Kingdom of God. |
| 5. |
A believer is called upon to live a holy and righteous life in harmony
with the teachings of the Holy Bible, submitting to those in authority over
him both spiritual and civil. |
| 6. |
A believer should be baptized in water, confirming his faith and obedience
to the Lord. |
| 7. |
Every believer should experience the infilling of the Holy Spirit with
speaking in tongues. Every believer should receive gifts of the Spirit,
as the Spirit of God wills, by the laying on of hands and prophecy; thus
enabling him to enter into a Spiritual ministry. This will empower him to
live a fruitful and godly life, full of good works, i.e. caring for the
widow and the fatherless in their affliction, zealous in the witness of
the gospel to every creature, and the fulfillment of his own personal ministry
as a member of the one holy, universal church, which is the body of Christ. |
| 8. |
We believe that there is a life hereafter; Heaven for the righteous,
Hell for the wicked and rebellious, God Himself being the only one who makes
this judgement. |
| 9. |
We believe in the ever-unfolding revelation of Jesus Christ, His salvation
and coming Kingdom, and His infinite, unfailing love for all mankind. |
| 10. |
We believe that Jesus Christ, in God’s appointed time, will return
to the earth to raise the dead, judge and rule over the nations with His
church, the body of Christ, in His everlasting Kingdom. |
| 11. |
The central theme of the “Move of the Spirit” is the coming
together of the body of Christ. |
| 12. |
Such other revelation as brought by the Holy Spirit to the apostolic
ministry may be added to the articles of faith and the statement of teachings
of Global Missions from time to time, being confirmed by the Bible and
all the Apostolic Elders. |
| 13. |
We believe in obeying the laws of the land, as we are instructed to do
in the Holy Bible |
We also believe and teach the following concerning:
1. |
Racial Discrimination. We in no way endorse or excuse racial discrimination. |
2. |
Homosexuality and Lesbianism. The lifestyles of the Homosexual and the
Lesbian are practices that we do not condone and reject as they are rejected
in the Bible. |
3. |
Child and Spousal Abuse. No one has the right to abuse anyone, much less
those who are as near and dear as one’s spouse or children. |
4. |
Sexual Abuse and Harassment. This behaviour must not be tolerated by anyone
in any group, home or workplace. |
5. |
Abortion. We believe that abortion is murder; the killing of a person
who has no ability to protect himself / herself. The only exception would
be where the life of the mother is at risk. |
6. |
Divorce. Divorce is not in God’s plan for the human race. It is
having a devastating effect on our society. |
