Doctrinal Statement of the End-Time Handmaidens and Servants
- The Bible is the Divinely-inspired Word of God and the
Truth of God to man (2 Timothy 3:16).
- God the Father is the eternal Creator (Genesis 1:1, John
1:3), Sustainer (Hebrews 1:3, 2 Timothy 4:18), and Judge of
His Universe (Hebrews 12:23).
- Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, is the incarnate,
only-begotten Son of God, and there is no other name given
under Heaven whereby man can be saved (Acts 4:12).
- Man was sold into Satan's bondage through his obedience
to the evil one. Jesus Christ therefore became the Redeemer
by dying on the cross and shedding His precious blood as the
ransom price for sinners (Acts 20:28), that whosoever
believes in Him has everlasting life (John 3:16).
- Jesus promised to give His followers the Holy Spirit who
would endue them with power from on high to enable them to
be witnesses, beginning at home and reaching unto the
uttermost parts of the earth (Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8).
- Jesus Christ tasted death for all men (Hebrews 2:9) and
was raised eternally and victoriously on the third day (1
Corinthians 15:3-4). All who believe in Him shall inherit
full redemption (Roman 10:9).
- Knowing this, it behooves His followers to live a holy
and pure life in every way as He did, knowing we shall be
rewarded and judged according to the deeds done in the flesh
(Hebrews 12:14, Matthew 16:27).
- It is appointed unto man once to die, but after that the
judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
- As the followers of Jesus on the Mount of Olives saw Him
go, so also shall He return in like manner (Acts 1:11) and
every eye shall see Him (Revelation 1:7) and those who
rejected Him and pierced Him through shall mourn because of
their rejection of Him (Zechariah 12:10). Every knee shall
bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord to the glory of
God (Philippians 2:10-11).
- The saints and faithful shall reign and live with Him
(Revelation 22:5), all evil shall be destroyed by the
brightness of His coming (2 Thessalonians 2:8), the kingdoms
of this earth shall become the kingdoms of our God and of
His Christ and of His Kingdom there shall be no end
(Revelation 11:15, Luke 1:33).
