Our beliefs are founded solely on the Bible, which we consider God's infallible written Word. This includes both the Old and New
Testaments, which we believe were uniquely inspired by the Holy
Spirit and written without error in their original manuscripts.
Christ's Love Ministry emphasizes individuals making a personal
commitment to Christ, believers entering into water baptism, place
of faith in divine healing, emphasis on the baptism in the Holy
Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and the second
coming of Jesus Christ. Christ's Love Ministry believes that God's
purpose concerning man is to seek and to save that which is lost, to
be worshiped by man and to build a body of believers in the image of
His Son Jesus Christ.
That these believers, saved and called out of
the world, constitute the Church of Jesus Christ built and
established upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone. That the members of the
Body, the Church of Jesus Christ, are enjoined to gather themselves
for worship, fellowship, counsel, and instruction in the Word of
God, the work of the ministry, and for the exercise of those
spiritual gifts and offices provided for New Testament church order.
That it is evident the early apostolic churches came together in
fellowship as a representative body of saved, Spirit-filled
believers who ordained and sent out evangelists and missionaries,
and under the supervision of the Holy Spirit set over the apostles
and church clerics. That the priority reason-for-being of the
Christ's Love Ministry is to be an agency of God for evangelizing
the world, to be a corporate body in which man may worship God, and
to be a channel of God's purpose to build a body of saints being
perfected in the image of His Son.
That the Christ's Love Ministry
exists expressly to give continuing emphasis to this reason-for
being in the New Testament apostolic pattern by teaching and
encouraging believers to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, which
enables them to evangelize in the power of the Spirit with
accompanying supernatural signs, adding a necessary dimension to
worshipful relationship with God, and enabling them to respond to
the full working of the Holy Spirit in expression of fruit and gifts
and ministries as in New Testament times for the edifying of the
body of Christ. Christ's Love Ministry whose purpose is neither to
usurp authority over the various local gathering, nor to deprive
them of their scriptural and local rights and privileges; but to
recognize and promote scriptural methods and order for worship,
unity, fellowship, work, and business for God; and to disapprove
unscriptural methods, doctrines, and conduct, endeavoring to keep
the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, "till we all come in
the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto
a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of
Christ" (Ephesians 4:13).
