STATEMENT of FAITH
Some of What I Believe In...
the Holy Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, to be inspired and the only infallible Word of God.
2. the one true God, revealed in the scriptures as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. the creation of man as good, the fall of man from his original state into which he has no power to redeem himself.
4. in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in the all- sufficient atonement by His blood to cleanse anyone who believes on Him responds through repentance and faith in Christ alone.
5. water baptism, as taught in the scriptures, identifies the believer with death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and brings them into covenant relationship. Total immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ Acts 2:38; 10:44-48; 19:2-6.
6. a life of holiness and separation from the world ways and sin, no longer serving them but serving the Lord with a pure heart.
7. the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a separate, distinct experience, subsequent salvation, providing endowment of power for life and service, accomplished by speaking in tongues.
8. the church as the Boy of Christ, a group of "called out ones," chosen to reveal God's plan and purpose in the earth, and local expression of the church functioning according to the New Testament order and organization.
9. the manifestation of all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit in the local assembly, dividing the gifts amongst the believers severally as He will. Prophecy; words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, and healing (Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Corintians 12:1-11)
10. the laying on of hands by qualified and anointed ministry for blessing, dedication, confirmation, healing, ordination, and impartation of spiritual gifts.
11. individual and collective (corporate), praise and worship. All expressions of praise, Old Testament and New Testament are meant for practice in the church today.
12. the restoration of the church of all that the prophets have spoken, and subsequent visual and bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ to set up His kingdom here on the earth.
13. the promise of eternal life for all those who believe on the Lord Jesus and accept Him as their Lord and Savior, and eternal damnation for those who refuse Him and die for their sins.
Note from Ron J. Brown Ministries
Ron J. Brown Ministries holds these truths and many others to be precious and dear. Our purpose, however, in providing a webpage is not for endless doctrinal disputes, but to be a place of ministry and healing for those in need. Christians have always had differences in their theology and in what they belive and will conntinue to do so until the great return of the Master Teacher Himself. In the meanwhile, we want to provide healing and deliverance and encouragement to the Body of Christ at large, What w ebelieve may divide us, but in whom we believe should unite us.
