STATEMENT OF FAITH
I, ______________________________________________________________________the undersigned, a volunteer within Living Hope, do hereby acknowledge that Living Hope is a Christian faith-based organisation and further acknowledge that the statement of faith detailed below is the basic declaration of the beliefs agreed to and held by this ministry. I agree that I will in no way, whether by word or deed, do anything contrary to or in opposition to this statement of faith while I am engaged in any activity associated with Living Hope as a volunteer. Any violation of this agreement will result in my immediate disassociation from Living Hope as a volunteer. We believe in the Triune God, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit in all its statements. Therefore we confess:
God the Father is creator and preserver of all. Jesus Christ, true man and true God, is the Son of God. He is born of the virgin Mary and He has by substitution shed His blood on the cross for the sins of the whole world. He is bodily resurrected and has returned into the glory of God. He sits at the right hand of God and will manifestly return. God has sent His Holy Spirit into the world, so that He might open the eyes of man in respect of sin, and of righteousness and of judgment and that He may reveal the whole divine truth to God’s redeemed. Human nature is sinful. Only owing to redemption through the blood of Jesus can man by conversion and him being born again be justified before God. The redeemed will rise from the dead in glory to eternal life; those who are not redeemed will pass into everlasting destruction. All those who are born-again constitute the Church, the “Body of Christ”. For the Church missionary command of Jesus is valid and binding: “Go therefore to all nations and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you”. (Matthew 28: 19-20)
