Statement of Faith

Christian Fellowship International

1. The Holy Scriptures

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is our ultimate rule for faith, conduct, and the “Biblical Order” required to restore the Church.

“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.”
2 Timothy 3:16 NASB

2. The Godhead (The Creator)

We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We affirm that God is the Author of all creation and is the sovereign Architect.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1 NASB

3. The Lord Jesus Christ

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

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1 NASB

“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB

“They also said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.’”
Acts 1:11 NASB

4. The Work of the Enemy (The Perverter)

We believe that the devil and his demons are not creators but perverters of God’s creation. Their effort is to hinder and distract.

“You are of your father the devil... He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
John 8:44 NASB

“For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, more than once—and yet Satan hindered us.”
1 Thessalonians 2:18 NASB

“The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.”
1 John 3:8 NASB

5. Salvation and Recommitment

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We believe in the power of repentance and the “re-fueling” of the heart to return to one’s original call and purpose.

“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”
Romans 11:29 NASB

6. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit & The Anointing

We believe in the present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We affirm the “Voice of the Anointing” and believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as a distinct experience for the purpose of power in ministry.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 NASB

“Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Acts 8:14-16 NASB

“As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.”
1 John 2:27 NASB

7. Restoring Biblical Order & The Fivefold Ministry

We believe in the restoration of Christ’s Church through the Fivefold Ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers). We believe the Church must return to Biblical Order to effectively fulfill the Great Commission today.

“And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers...”
Ephesians 4:11 NASB

8. Prosperity and Provision

We believe that God desires His children to prosper in all things—spirit, soul, and body—so they may have the resources to establish His Kingdom on earth.

“Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.”
3 John 2 NASB
