Apostolic Written Heritage
Featured in this post is the Tagalog translation of the Declaration of Doctrinal Faith section 11 with supporting Bible verses submitted in 1973 to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the official registration of the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch).
11. Sa IISANG MAKA-APOSTOL AT PENTECOSTAL NA IGLESIA NI CRISTO na binubuo ng tunay na alagad ni Cristo sa bawa't bansa at lahi; nahugasan sa dugo ni Cristo at pinatawad sa lahat nilang kasalanan, na nabubuhay sa ilalim ng kapamahalaan ng mga apostol na batay sa salita ng Banal na Kasulatan. Gawa 2:42; 2:2-4; 11:26; 17:26-27; Mateo 16:18; 28:19-20; Juan 8:31; Efeso 1:7; Roma 8:14; 12:1.
Na ANG IGLESIANG ITO AY MALUWALHATI, natatag nang unang Pentecostes pagkatapos na si Cristo ay mabuhay na mag-uli, kailan man ay hindi nahiwalay o natalikod man at hindi rin natigil sa pag-ganap ng kalooban ng Dios, at magpapatuloy na matagumpay hanggang sa pagbabalik ng ating Panginoon.
Na ANG PINTUAN NG HADES AY HINDI MANANAIG laban sa Iglesiang ito, bagama't paminsan-minsang dumaranas ng kapighatian, ang Banal na Espiritu ay nagpapalakas at nagbibigay ng bagong buhay sa pamamagitan ng mga kaloob, gaya ng pagtawag ng bagong apostol, propeta, ebanghelista, pastor, at g**o lalo na kung ang pagtawag ng mga bagong kaloob na ito ay kailangan. Gawa 2:1; katuparan ng panukala ni Cristo sa Mateo 16:18; Efeso 5:25-26; 3:10-11; 1:22; Roma 8:35 hanggang 39; Apocalipses 19:8.
English version
11. In the one and only Apostolic Church of Christ, composed of true disciples in every nation and race, washed and forgiven living under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
That this Church is glorious and founded on Pentecost after the resurrection of Christ, was never cut off nor ceased to function; and will continuously by victorious until the Second Coming of Christ.
That the gates of Hell cannot prevail against this glorious Church and though it suffers light tribulations, the Holy Spirit will always invigorate it through the calling of new apostles in every hour or seasons when renewal is called for.
This preserved document bears witness to the foundational faith, doctrine, and identity of the Church—declaring its belief in the one, apostolic, and Pentecostal Church of Christ, governed by the ministries and gifts given by God, and continuing in the truth of the Holy Scriptures until the return of our Lord.
More than a legal document, this declaration is a sacred testimony of the Church’s apostolic foundation, doctrinal conviction, and divine calling in the last days.
