STATEMENT OF FAITH

Subscribed to by Each Member of the Board of Directors and Each Officer of CROSSEYED MINISTRIES, Inc. Each Year

A. I believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, inerrant and the authoritative Word of God.

B. I believe in one God manifested in three personalities and eternally existent as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

C. I believe in the personality of Satan, and his present control over unregenerate man and his continuous attempt to control and deceive the regenerated man.

D. I believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

E. I believe in the fall of man and his lost estate, which makes necessary a rebirth through belief in the Lord Jesus Christ.

F. I believe in the reconciliation of man to God by the substitutionary death and shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. This reconciliation comes through faith alone in Jesus Christ.

G. I believe in the resurrection of believers unto everlasting life and blessing in Heaven, and the resurrection of unbelievers unto everlasting punishment in the torments of Hell.

H. I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

I. I believe that the church is:

The Indivisible Body of Christ bound together by the Holy Spirit, consisting only of those who are born again in Christ and for whom He shall come again.

A Local Body of Born Again Believers who have joined together in a centralized location or community in order to unite in Worship, Christian Fellowship, Ministry, Discipleship, Evangelism, and Prayer.

J. I believe in Christ's great commission to the church to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, baptizing and teaching those who believe.



 

THE AMSTERDAM AFFIRMATIONS

I. I confess Jesus Christ as God, my Lord and Savior, who is revealed in the Bible, which is the infallible Word of God.

II. I affirm my commitment to the Great Commission of our Lord, and I declare my willingness to go anywhere, do anything, and sacrifice anything God requires of me in the fulfillment of that Commission.

III. I respond to God's call to the biblical ministry of the evangelist, and accept my solemn responsibility to preach the Word to all peoples as God gives opportunity.

IV. God loves every human being, who, apart from faith in Christ, is under God's judgment and destined for hell.

V. The heart of the biblical message is the good news of God's salvation, which comes by grace alone through faith in the risen Lord Jesus Christ and His atoning death on the cross for our sins.

VI. In my proclamation of the Gospel I recognize the urgency of calling all to decision to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and to do so lovingly and without coercion or manipulation.

VII. I need and desire to be filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit as I bear witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, because God alone can turn sinners from their sin and bring them to everlasting life.

VIII. I acknowledge my obligation, as a servant of God, to lead a life of holiness and moral purity, knowing that I exemplify Christ to the church and to the world.

IX. A life of regular and faithful prayer and Bible study is essential to my personal spiritual growth, and to my power for ministry.

X. I will be a faithful steward of all that God gives me, and will be accountable to others in the finances of my ministry, and honest in reporting my statistics.

XI. My family is a responsibility given to me by God, and is a sacred trust to be kept as faithfully as my call to minister to others.

XII. I am responsible to the church, and will endeavor always to conduct my ministries so as to build up the local Body of believers and serve the church at large.

XIII. I am responsible to arrange for the spiritual care of those who come to faith under my ministry, to encourage them to identify with the local Body of believers, and seek to provide for the instruction of believers in witnessing to the Gospel.

XIV. I share Christ's deep concern for the personal and social sufferings of humanity, and I accept my responsibility as a Christian and as an evangelist to do my utmost to alleviate human need.

XV. I beseech the Body of Christ to join with me in prayer and work for peace in our world, for revival and a renewed dedication to the biblical priority of evangelism in the church, and for the oneness of believers in Christ for the fulfillment of the Great Commission, until Christ returns.
