HIS WAY CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES (HWCM)

Statement Of Faith

1. We believe that the Bible is inspired by God, and is the complete and infallible Word of God.

II Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20, Revelation 22:18-19

2. We believe that there is one God, without beginning and without end.

Revelation 1:8, Micah 5:2

3. We believe in the unity of the Godhead and the trinity of the Persons therein; God the Father,

God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:19, II Corinthians 13:14

4. We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate. He was born of a virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life. He died on the cross in the place of the sinners, and His shed blood is the atonement for our sins.

Isaiah 7:14, John 20:28, II Corinthians 4:4, Col 1:15

5. We believe in Jesus' bodily resurrection and His ascension to the right hand of God making

intercession for us, and that He will return to earth in power and glory.

I Corinthians 15:4-8, Romans 8:34, Matthew 25:31, Acts 1:9-11

6. We believe Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity and He is our seal unto the day of

Redemption.

Ephesians 1:13, 4:30

7. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling the believer is empowered to

live a Godly life in spiritual unity with Christ.

8. We believe that all have sinned and lost, awaiting the judgment of God, but God is not willing that any should be lost.

Romans 3:10,23, 2 Peter 3:7-9, Romans 11:32

9. We believe that forgiveness of sin and eternal life are freely offered to all by our Lord Jesus Christ. The Salvation of sinners is by grace through faith alone, in the perfect all-sufficient work of Christ, who died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day for our justification.

Acts 2:38, Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 15:11, Titus 3:5

10. We believe that both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; the saved unto life eternal and

the lost unto eternal damnation.

us.

Romans 5:9, 10:10-11

13. We believe that government is ordained of God to enforce law and order and to prevent evil works. Government should, therefore, be supported and obeyed. Laws and ordinances — local, state, and national — are to be respected and conscientiously obeyed, except when to do so violates the commandment of God.

Matthew 5:44, Romans 13:1-10, I Peter 2:13-15

live a life of total surrender to Him Who loved us and gave Himself for us.

blood of Christ.

I Corinthians 10:16, 21; 11:17-32, Luke 22:7-20

17. We believe that marriage was instituted by God at the beginning of creation and, as such, is an

exclusive, lifelong union between one man and one woman, as He created them.
