Form - 10 Tenets of Faith All Ministers of Religion who desire to hold, or currently hold a certificate of affiliation / ordination with United World Ministries are to adhere to and actively promote in their ministry the Tenets of Faith. The Tenets of Faith as adhered to by United World Ministries: The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. His sinless life. His miracles. His victorious and atoning death through His shed blood. His bodily resurrection. His ascension to the right hand of the Father. His personal return in power and glory as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The fall of man, thus necessitation of rebirth through confession and belief in Jesus Christ. The reconciliation of man to God by the substitutionary death and shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. The resurrection of believers unto everlasting life and unbelievers unto everlasting punishment in hell. The present supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit and His gifts into and among believers since the day of Pentecost and continuing until our Lords return. The bible reveals to us the mind of Christ and the complete revelation of God s will for the salvation of men; and is the inspired, infallible authoritative Word of God. There is one God manifested in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The reality of Satan and his present influence over the unbeliever. Baptism in water by full immersion in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is enjoined upon all who have repented and believe. The Baptism with the Holy Spirit, accompanied by speaking with other tongues is promised to every believer empowering them to be an effective witness for Christ. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the new birth.
