What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of Faith Works Global Ministries based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to men, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason.

The one true God has revealed Himself as eternally self-existent, self-revealed "I AM," and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, by simultaneously existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Man was created good and upright, for God said, "Let Us make man in our image and after our likeness." Man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

The Grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, and being justified by grace, has become heir of God according to the hope of eternal life.

All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father,  the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian church. With it comes endowment with power for life and service, the bestowment of the spiritual gifts and and their uses in the work of the ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth. With the baptism of the Holy Spirit come such experiences as an overflowing fullness of the Spirit, a deepened reverence for God, an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work, and a more active love for Christ, for His Word, and for the lost.

The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same essence as the gift of tongues, but different in purpose and use.

Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God. Scripture teaches a life of "holiness without which no man shall see the Lord" (Heb. 12:14). By the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to obey the command: "Be ye holy, for I am Holy" (1 Pet. 1:5). Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.

The church is the holy Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her greater commission. Each Believer is an integral part of the church, and their names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two-fold purpose: (1) The envangelization of the world, and (2) The edification of the body of Christ.

Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is a privilege of all believers.

The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together with those who are alive and remain unto the Lord, is imminent and is the blessed hope of the church.

We, as promised in the Scriptures, look for a new heaven and a new earth wherein righteousness dwells.

The ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be observed (as commanded in Scriptures) by all that have repented of their sins and in their hearts have believed on Christ as their Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been released to walk with Him in the newness of life.

The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing in the memorial to His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined to all believers "until He comes".
