We are the Warriors In Christ Based out of Minnesota, The Land of 10,000 Lakes.
Statement of Faith
Bible We
believe the Bible, to be the inspired Word of God, without error, the
revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and
final authority for all Christian faith and life.
God We
believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. God has always been and will always be the only God. There were
none before Him and shall be none after him.
The Father We
believe that the Father created all things in heaven and on earth. He
created human beings out of a love for us and desires a personal
relationship with each of us.
Jesus We
believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been
conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a
sinless life and died on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins
according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead and
ascended into heaven.
Holy Spirit We
believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict men, making
them aware of their sin and the salvation available through Jesus. He
regenerates, guides, instructs, and empowers the believer for godly
living and service.
Man We
believe that man was created in the image of God and sinless, but fell
into sin and is therefore lost and subject to judgment. There is
nothing man can do to save himself from this judgement, but he can
allow the death of Jesus to take the place of his own eternal damnation
by acknowledging God and accepting the free gift of salvation.
Salvation We
believe that the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ provides the only
way of justification and salvation for all who believe. Furthermore,
any who attach additional works of man as a requirement for salvation
are false in that they infer Jesus death is insufficient in and of
itself to save and that human beings somehow have the capability to
save themselves.
Accepting the Sinner, Denouncing
the Sin We believe that no sin is too big for God to forgive.
Therefore, as Christians we should be open and eager to share the
Gospel with everyone regardless of their sin or affliction. However,
making Jesus lord of our lives means striving towards holiness and
turning from our sinful ways. Therefore, while being open to all
sinners, Christians ought not accept, ignore, or promote any sin as
permissible.
The Verses We Stand On As Warriors In Christ
For
Our weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to
the pulling down of strong holds, casting down imaginations, and ever
high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and
bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and
having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience
is fulfilled.
2 Cor. 10:4-6
For We walk by faith, not by sight. 2Cor.5:7
For By Grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Eph.2:8
Finally
my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might; Put
on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of teh darness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you
the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins
girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness:
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: Above
all taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the firery darts of the wicked.
And the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the
word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication
for all saints; and for me, that
utterance may be given unto me that I may open my mouth boldly, to make
known the mystery of the Gospel.
