Four Winds Gospel International Ministry Statement of Faith
- Four Winds Gospel was organized to help establish the Kingdom of Jesus Christ here on earth just as it is in heaven. We have attempted this in both spiritual and physical realms. We believe in preaching and teaching the Word of God to the best of our ability and demonstrating God’s love by meeting physical needs.
- We believe the scripture is given by inspiration of God and therefore infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and conduct for all humanity.
- We believe in one eternal triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit: with Jesus being fully God and man. We believe His miracles, vicarious actions and atoning death accomplished through His shed blood, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father.
- We believe in the resurrection of all mankind; eternal life to those who call upon Jesus as their Lord and eternal death to those to those who reject Jesus as their Lord. The choice is the individuals.
- We believe all have sinned (apart from Jesus) and fallen short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death (therefore, all sin separates mankind from God); but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. God showed His love toward us, in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (proving that God does not send people to hell).
- True believers in Christ repent of their sins and seek to follow Him. They are spiritually regenerated. Salvation cannot be earned and is not guaranteed to those who “only say they accept Jesus as their personal Savior” or “invite Jesus into their hearts” without a spiritual conversion.
- God uses creation, consciousness, calamity, preaching of the Gospel and demonstration of the power of God to call all mankind to Him.
- God has called mankind to live sanctified (separated from sin) lives.
- God is love and we must love our neighbor as ourselves, regardless of their race, color, social class, or their sin nature. True Christians realize they are servants to both God and mankind. Christians enjoy giving to others to demonstrate their love, not as a pathway to salvation. God has called all believes to a ministry of reconciliation.
- We believe believers need to be baptized in water and the Holy Spirit to accomplish all that God has planned for their lives. We believe that all the Spiritual gifts listed in 1st Corinthians chapter 12 are operational today and are available to believers.
- We believe God created marriage. It is a covenant made between one man and one woman and they will become one.
