Redeemed Fellowship Church
Fundamentals of Faith
 Statement of Faith
The Bible is our all-sufficient rule of faith and practice. The purpose of this
statement of faith is to set a basis for the fellowship among each other (that
we all speak the same truths).
1Co 1:10 ¶ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all
speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly
joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Ac 2:42 ¶ And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in
breaking of bread, and in prayers.
The truths set forth are held to be essential to any full- gospel ministry and
are the basis of our Fundamental Doctrines.
1. The Scriptures
Both old and new testaments are verbally inspired of God and are the
revelation of God unto man; the infallible, authoritative rule of Faith and
Conduct.
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
1Th 2:13
¶ For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word
of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth,
the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
2. The one True God
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self- existent “I AM”,
the creator of heaven and earth and the redeemed of all mankind. He has
further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and
association as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
De 6:4 ¶ Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen:
that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no
God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 43:11
I, even I, am the; and beside me there is no saviour.
Mt 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

3. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
He is the Son of God; even as the scriptures declare;
Ac 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

4. The fall of Man
Man was created by God good and upright; for God said; “Let us make man
in our image, after our likeness”. By man’s own voluntary act of
transgression, he fell and received not only physical death but also spiritual
death, which is separation from God.
Ro 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Ro 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no
law.
Ro 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not
sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to
come.
Ro 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one
many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man,
Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Ro 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one
to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
Ro 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Ro 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to
condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life.
Ro 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience
of one shall many be made righteous.
5. The Salvation of Man
Mans only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the
Son of God;
a.
Conditions to salvation:
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
2
106763829
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God:
Salvation is a two step process:
 Repentance toward God.
 Faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ.
b. Evidence of Salvation;
1. Direct witness of the Spirit confirmed by the word of God.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children
of God:
John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even
to them that believe on his name:
2. An outward evidence of a life of righteousness and true holiness:
Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness
and true holiness.
6.
The Ordinances of Redeemed Fellowship Church
Redeemed Fellowship Church the two true ordinances, which are clearly
pointed out in the scriptures;
a.
Baptism by immersion (where and when ever possible) is
commanded in the scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as their
savior are to be baptized. This is an outward confession and profession to the
world of an inward confirmation of the work of God that the believer
identifies with the death of Christ and they have been risen with Him to walk
in the newness of life.
Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Romans 6:4
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was
raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life.
b.
The Lords Supper; consisting of bread and the fruit of the vine.
They are symbols expressing our sharing in the divine nature of our Lord
Jesus Christ;
2Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that
by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is
in the world through lust.
It also is a memorial of His suffering and death as well as a prophecy
of His second coming it is shared by all believers “till He come”.
1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the
Lord's death till he come.

7.
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly
seek the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Ghost according to
the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of
all in the early church. The purpose of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost is for
the endowment of power for life and service in exercising the gifts in the
work of the ministry;
Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they
should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith
he, ye have heard of me.
Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Acts 1:6 ¶ When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying,
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Acts 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the
seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of
the new birth (Acts. 8: 12- 17; Acts 10:44- 46; Acts 15:7- 9).
a. An overflowing fullness of the Spirit (John. 7: 37- 39; Acts. 4: 8).
b. A deepened reverence for God (Acts. 2: 44; Heb.12: 28).
c. An intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work
(Acts. 2: 42).
d. A more active love for Christ, His word, and the lost (Mark. 16: 20).
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the evidence of
speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts. 2: 4). Speaking
in tongues is the same in essence but different in purpose and used as the gift
of tongues; (1 Corinthians. 12: 4- 10& 28).
8.
Sanctification
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil and a
dedication unto God (Romans. 12: 1- 2; 1 Thessalonians. 5: 23; Hebrews.
3:12). The scriptures directs us to a life of “holiness without which no man
shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12: 14). By the power of the Holy Ghost we
are able to obey this command; “Be ye holy, for I am holy” (1 Corinthians.
10; 13; 1 Peter. 1: 15- 16).
4
106763829
Sanctification is realized in the believer by his recognizing his
identification is found in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ Jesus
by faith which is exercised every day of his life through the power of the
Holy Ghost. (Romans. 6:1- 11; Romans. 8: 1- 2; 1Peter. 1: 5).
9. The Church, it’s Mission, and Ministry
The church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the
Holy Ghost with divine appointments for the fulfillment of the Great
Commission. Each believer is an integral part of the General Assembly and
Church of the Firstborn which was written in heaven (Ephesians. 1: 22- 23;
Hebrews. 12; 23). Since God’s purpose concerning man is to seek and save
that which was lost, to be worshipped by man, and to build a body of
believers in the image of His Son, the primary reason for Redeemed
Fellowship Church is:
a. Evangelism (Acts 1: 8; Matthew. 28: 19-20; Mark. 16: 15- 16)
b. Edification of the body (Ephesians. 4: 11- 16; 1Corinthians. 14; 12)
c. Expressions of worship unto God (1Corinthains. 12: 13)
This is the Apostolic pattern; one purpose demonstrated in three ways. The
church is all three or it does not conform to the “New Testament” pattern.
An over emphasis on any one part does not constitute this body as a New
Testament Church.. Each aspect is fundamental, vital, and of an equal
importance
A divinely ordained and called ministry has been provided by our
Lord for the purpose of completing the aforesaid mission: (Mark. 16:15- 20;
John. 4:23- 24; Ephesians. 4: 11- 16).
10.
Divine Healing
As an integral component of the gospel, deliverance from all
infirmities and diseases is provided for by the atonement and is the
privilege of all believers.
(Isaiah. 53: 4- 5; Matthew. 8: 16-17; James 5: 14- 16).
11.
The Blessed Hope (Rapture)
The bodily resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in the Lord
and their translation with those who are alive and remain unto the
coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.
(1 Thessalonians. 4: 16- 17; Romans. 8: 16- 17; Titus. 2: 13; 1
Corinthians. 15: 51- 52).
5
106763829
12.
The Millennial Rein of Christ
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints which
is our blessed hope followed by the visible return of Christ with His
saints to rein on Earth and establish universal peace for a period of
1000 years;
(Matthew. 24: 27- 30; Revelations. 19: 11- 14; Revelations. 20: 1- 6).
13.
The Final Judgment
There will be a final judgment in which all the wicked dead will arise
and be judged. Whosoever is not found written in the Lambs Book of Life,
together with Satan and his Angels, the beast and the false prophet will be
consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire which is the second
death:
(Mark. 9: 43- 48; Revelations. 19: 20; 20: 11- 15; 21: 8)
14.
The New Heaven and the New Earth
“According to His promise we look for a new heaven and a new Earth
wherein righteousness dwelleth.”
(2 Peter. 3: 13; Revelations. 21: 22)
