The Way Missionary Outreach Statement of Faith
Subscription and adherence to this important statement are prerequisites for all members of The Way Missionary Outreach.
Our commission is to proclaim the gospel of the coming Kingdom of God to all the world as a witness and teach all nations to observe what Christ has commanded (Matthew 28:19-20)
- We believe in one God, the Father, eternally existing, who is a Spirit. He, through Jesus Christ, is the Creator of the heavens and the earth all that is in them. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who is the Word and has eternally existed. We believe that He is the Messiah, the Christ, the divine Son of the living God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born in human flesh of the virgin Mary. We believe in the Holy Spirit, as the Spirit of God and of Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the power of God and the Spirit of life eternal (2 Timothy 1:7; Ephesians 4:6; I Corinthians 8:6; John 1:1-4; Colossians 1:16).
- We believe that Scripture, both Old and New Testament, is God’s revelation, and expressed will to humanity. Scripture is inspired, infallible, the supreme and final authority in faith and in life, and the foundation of all truth(2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; John 10:35; John 17:17)
- We believe sin is a transgression of God’s law. The law defines God’s love and is based upon the two great principles of love toward God and love toward neighbor, and is immutable and binding. The Ten Commandments are the ten points of God’s law of love. We believe those who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
- We believe that God so loved this world that He gave his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to restore humanity back to Himself. Jesus Christ’s death was the perfect sacrifice, redemption, for our transgression of God’s righteous law. We believe Jesus Christ, our High Priest, offered as one sacrifice for sins, good for all time, now sits at the place of highest honor at God’s right hand.
- We believe all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We believe that all who truly repent of their sins in full surrender and willing obedience to God, and who by faith accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior have their sins forgiven. They are baptized by the Spirit into the body of Christ, which is the true Church of God. We believe in a true change in life and attitude. For by their fruits you shall know who belongs to the Lord.
- We believe in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to rule the nations on earth as King of Kings and to continue His priestly office as Lord of Lords. He will sit upon the throne of David; He will restore all things and establish the Kingdom of God forever.
