Statement of faith:
Parakletos Ministries International is interdenominational in spirit, evangelical in message, international in project , and is composed of a group of Christian believers whose aim is to reach the entire world with the Eternal Gospel News that Christ Jesus is returning soon to judge every body,irrespective of race, creed, faith or language, accordingly ;hence the time is come to worship, fear and exalt Him who made heaven,earth and all within them!
1) We believe that the bible is divinely inspired and it is as unchangeable, powerful and everlasting as it's author, the Lord God Almighty. (Matt. 24:35; Ps. 119:89,105; 1 Tim.3:16-17; 1 Pet.1:19-21.)
2) We believe that there is only One true and living God, maker of heaven and earth who is the Alpha and Omega ; that this God has three divinely equal but distinct personalities that are perfectly unified in the Eternal Godhead comprising of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. (Isa.43:10; John 3:16; John 1:1-3; Matt.1:23; 1 Tim.2:5; Eph.2:18; 1 John 5:7;John 15:26).
3) We believe that man was created sinless in God's image but willfully disobeyed God thus he became enslaved by satan; that God sent Jesus Christ His son to die for mankind while we were yet sinners; that anyone who accepts Christ atonement on the cross in simple faith and asked God for forgiveness would be saved cleansed from his/her confessed sins. (Gen.1:17; Rom.5:12,19;Isa.53:5; Titus 2:14; Isa.55:7; Heb.7:25; 1 John 1:9).
4) We believe that we are saved through grace upon sincere repentance and acceptance of our repentance by God; (Eph.2:8,13;Rom.3:10,23;Isa.64:6;John 6:37,47;Rom.6:23;Rom.5:1-2; Luke 1:77-79).
5) We believe in being born again by the Holy Spirit on accepting Christ as Lord and Savior; thus the new convert must produce the fruits of repentance by giving up old habits of sin.( John 3:3;2 Cor.5:17;John 15:19;Gal.2:20;Ps.1:1-2).
6) We believe in sanctification as an ongoing life experience of a believer. (1 Thes.4:3,5:23;2 Cor.7:1;Prov.4:18;Heb.6:1;Rom.8:5).
7) We believe in water baptism, the Lords' supper and Holy Spirit baptism. (Matt.28:19;Acts1:4748;Col.2:12;Rom.6:4;1Cor.11:18;2Cor.13:5;John 14:16-17;Acts 2:4;8:17).
8) We believe that Christians should manifest the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.(1 Cor.12;Rom.11:29;Rom.12:6-8;Luke 3:9).
9) We believe in Divine healing and miracles. (Matt.8:17;9:5;Mark 16:17-18;Acts 4:29-30;James 5:14-16).
10) We believe in Christ second coming and the white throne judgement:-(Mathew 24:29-31;1 Thess.4:13-18; Revealation 20:11-13,22:6-7).
11) We believe in a literal hell as a place of final purnishment for the devil,his angels and all those who reject God's salvation through Christ Jesus; and in a literal new earth under a new heaven as eternal resting place for all redeemed human beings . (Revealation 20:14, 22:14-15; 21:1-27).
12) We believe in Christian charity, tithing and offering. (Malachi 3:6-12; 1 Cor.16:1-2; 2 Cor.8:1-15 & Chapter 9).
