Statement of Faith

​

Rushing Wind Ministries has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to his image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are a nondenominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only to their over-emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.

We Believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ’s Agape love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.

We Believe worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.

We Believe the worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore, we give great place to music in our worship.

We Believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that he might instruct us how He should be worshipped.

We Believe the worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshipping him.

We Believe in all the doctrines of historic Christianity.

We Believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old Testament and New are the inspired, infallible Word of God.

We Believe that God is eternally existent in distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We Believe that God is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things.

We Believethat Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that he was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by his substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us.

We Believe in the personal, visible, second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. He will return with his saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be no end.

We Believethat after Jesus ascended to Heaven, he poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today.

We Believe that all people are, by nature, separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.

We Believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the scriptures, and they are valid for today if they are exercised within the scriptural guidelines. We as believes are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.

We Believe in the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman, and the sanctity of a monogamous life long covenant relationship. Any physical relationships outside of this definition of marriage is sinful and in rebellion to God.
