World Fellowship Christian Center
Statement of Faith

For the purpose of maintaining general unity, WORLD FELLOWSHIP  has adopted the following Statement OF FAITH as revealed  by the Holy Spirit and the will of God.  It expresses the beliefs we share as a Church.

 We do not presume that this statement is exhaustive.  However, it covers cardinal and fundamental truths for Christian living as we understand them, and conforms to those things clearly set in order in the Holy Scriptures.

SCRIPTURES
We believe that the Scriptures are inspired.
  The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God
  The Scriptures are the revelation of God to man, the infallible and final
 authoritative rule of faith and godly conduct.
(II Tim. 3:15-17; I Thess. 2:13; II Peter 1:20-21)
 

GOD
We believe that there is only One True God (the Triune) - God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, giving equal honor to all.
  God had revealed Himself as the eternal "I AM", the Creator of the Universe, and 
   the Redeemer of mankind.
  There is unity in the One being in that the Father is the begetter, the Son is the
      Begotten and the Holy Spirit is the One preceding from the Father and the Son.
  These three persons in the Godhead are in a state of unity and there is but one
 Lord God Almighty and His name One.

(II Cor. 13:14; John 14:16-17; I John 1:3-4; Matt. 11:25-27; 28:19; Luke 3:22; John 1:18; 15:26; 17:11,21; Zech. 14:9)
 

JESUS
We believe in the Deity and Exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.  The Scriptures declare His virgin
   birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His work on the cross, His bodily resurrection
   form the dead and His exaltation to the right hand of God.

  Having been made both Lord and Christ, He sent His Holy Spirit that we in the
   name of Jesus might bow our knees and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
(Heb. 1:3; 7:26; I Peter 2:22; 3:22; Phil. 2:9-11; Acts 1:9-11, 2:22, 32-36; 10:38; Rom. 14:11; I Cor. 15:3-4,24,28; II Cor. 5:21; Matt. 1:23; 28:6; Luke 1:31; 24:39)
 

THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
  All believers should earnestly seek the promise of the Father which is the Baptism
   in the Holy Spirit and fire.  With it comes the endowment of power for life and
   service, the bestowing of Spiritual gifts for use in the work of the Ministry.

  The Holy Spirit indwells, guides and enables us to live the Spirit-filled life daily,
   perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

   Baptism in the Holy Spirit is initially evidenced by the physical sign of speaking
   with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance.  The speaking in tongues 
  in this instance is the same as a gift of tongues, but different in purpose and use.
(Luke 24:29; Acts 1:4-8; 2:4, 42-43; 4:8; 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9; I Cor. 12:1-31; Heb. 12:28; Mark 16:20; Eph. 4:7-16; 5:18-20)
