Statement of Faith
The Missions And World Evangelism Bible College is a non-denominational school. We do not
believe in denominational barriers as there is only one body of Christ. We take the Bible as the sole
authority in all matters of faith and practice, and we do believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We also
utilize the "executive branch" offices as described in Ephesians 4:11, which are Apostles, Prophets,
Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers.
WE BELIEVE:
- The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16,17).
- The Eternal Godhead
We believe God is triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14).
- The Fall of Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience
he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12).
- The Plan of Salvation
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of
all who believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).
- Salvation Through Grace
We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the
righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8).
- Repentance and Acceptance
We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we
are justified before God (1 John 1:9)
- The New Birth
We believe that the change which takes place in the heard and life at conversion is a
very real one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
- Daily Christian Living
We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in
the faith (Hebrews 6:1).
- Baptism and the Lord's Supper
We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matthew
28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use
of the bread and juice of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:24, 25).
- Baptism With the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and
that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days (Acts 2:4).
- The Spirit-Filled Life
We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30-32).
- The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we should
show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22).
- Moderation
We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into
extremes of fanaticism (Philippians 4:5).
- Divine Healing
We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer
to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16).
- The Second Coming of Christ
We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent (1 Thessalonians
4:16, 17).
- Church Relationship
We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Body of Christ (Acts
16:5; Hebrews 10:25).
- Civil Government
We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will
of God (Romans 13:1-5).
- The Final Judgment
We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgment seat of God, and there receive
eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:10).
- Heaven
We believe that Heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3;
Revelation 7:15-17).
- Hell
We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Savior
(Revelation 20:10,15).
- Evangelism
We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).
