Churches
Church model:
In church planting "International Partnerships" is following the Missional Church model.
Statement of Faith:
- We believe in one true God the Creator who exists in three persons (Father, Son and the Holy Spirit) (Is.44:6; Eph.4:6; Matthew.28:19; 1Cor.8:4-6; 1Jn5:7).
- We believe in Jesus Christ – true God and true man who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.
He died on the Cross for our sins, arose from the dead, ascended to Heaven where He sits on the right hand of the God the Father and intercedes for the saved (Lk. 1:35; Jn. 1:14; Mt. 28:18; Heb. 1:3-13; Col. 1:15-18; 1Tim. 2:5-6; 1Cor. 15:3-4; Heb. 9:11-12; 1Jn. 2:1-2).
- We believe in the Holy Spirit who is coming from Father and Son. He glorifies Jesus Christ and witnesses about Him, convicts the world of sin, redeems believer, transforms him, abides in him, leads him, perfects him for new life and ministry (Job. 33:4; Jn. 14:16-17; Rom. 8:9; 1Pet. 1:11; 2Cor. 3:17-18; Jn. 15:26; 2Pet. 1:21; Jn. 16:7-13; Titus.3:4-7).
- WE believe that the Scriptures, Old Testament and New Testament in the original, is perfect God’s Word, complete revelation from God, written by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is sacred and final authority in all the issues of faith and life of a Christian (Deut. 4:2; Rev. 22:18-19; 2Tim. 3:15-17; 1Cor. 2:13; 2Pet. 1:19-21; Col. 3:16).
- We believe that God created the man in His image, but the man fell through sin and lost close relationships with God. We believe that this spiritual death has been transmitted to the entire human race (Gen. 1:26-27; 2:16-17; 3:1-24; Rom. 5:12-21; 1Cor. 15:21-22; Is. 59:2; Heb. 9:27).
- We believe salvation is given to man by God’s grace. This gift can be received by faith and this gift does not depend on man’s good deeds, accomplishments or sinfulness.
- Redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His resurrection are the basis for justification and salvation of all who believe in Him. Искупительная жертва Иисуса Христа и Его воскресение являются основанием оправдания и спасения для всех кто верит.
Those who receive Jesus Christ become children of God, transforming through the Holy Spirit into Christ image. (Rom.3:21-26; 6:3-10; Jn.12:46-48; Eph.2:1-10; Col.2:12-13; 1 Peter.1:2-5;18-21; Gal.3:22-28; Gal.5:16-25; Titus.3:3-7; Eph.4:17-32.)
- WE believe that Jesus Christ created the Church, He is the Head of the Church and He is the cornerstone of the Church. We believe that all who through the faith in Jesus Christ got transformed by the Holy Spirit are members of the true Church that is the Body of Christ (Mt. 16:18; Col. 1:18,24; Eph. 2:20-22).
- We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ, in God’s judgment, in eternal life of soul and resurrection of dead, eternal life for believers and punishment for sinners (Heb. 9:28; Acts. 1:11; 1Thes. 4:16-17; Mt. 26:64; Rev. 1:7-8; Rev. 20:11-15; 2Thes. 1:5-9).
