Statement of Faith
Missions Fest includes a broad spectrum of Christian denominations and organizations.
STATEMENT OF FAITH (as adopted by Missions Fest)
We believe...
1. that there is One God, eternally existent in Three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
2. in the divine inspiration of Holy Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, and its
consequent entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and
conduct;
3. in the universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, making man subject
to God’s wrath and everlasting damnation ;
4. in the substitutionary sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as the sole ground for
redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin;
5. in the justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone in Christ
crucified and risen from the dead;
6. in the illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of God, the
Holy Spirit, in the believer;
7. in the unity and common priesthood of all true believers, who together form the one
universal Church, the Body of which Christ is the Head;
8. in the expectation of the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ; and...
9. in the mandate to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that is
commanded.
