LEST WE FORGET
Statement of Faith
Fresh Manna Alliance of Christian Ministries
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. It is God’s complete revelation to humanity and the final authority for faith, doctrine, moral conduct, and Christian living. The Scriptures are sufficient for teaching, correction, instruction in righteousness, and equipping believers for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21)
The One True God
We believe there is one living and true God, eternal in His existence, infinite in His power, holy in His nature, and perfect in all His attributes. God has revealed Himself fully in the person of Jesus Christ, in whom dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, the Almighty manifested in flesh, and there is salvation in no other name. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1, 14; Colossians 2:9; Acts 4:12)
The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, performed mighty works, died as the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world, was buried, rose bodily from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven, and now reigns as Lord. He shall personally return in power and great glory to consummate His Kingdom. (John 1:1–14; 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11)
Salvation
We believe salvation is the gracious work of God made possible through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and received through obedient faith. The biblical response to the Gospel includes repentance from sin, water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial biblical evidence of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. We believe every believer is called to continue growing in grace through faithful discipleship and obedience to God’s Word. (Acts 2:38; Acts 8:12–17; Acts 10:44–48; Romans 6:3–5)
Holy Living
We believe God calls every believer to a life of holiness. Through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, Christians are to reflect the character of Christ in thought, word, conduct, and lifestyle. Holiness is not merely external conformity but the evidence of an inward transformation produced by God’s grace and empowered by the Holy Spirit. (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15–16; Romans 12:1–2)
The Church
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, composed of all who have obeyed the Gospel and have been born of the Spirit. The Church exists to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, administer the ordinances, cultivate biblical fellowship, minister to human need, and glorify Jesus Christ throughout the world. Christ has placed within His Church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip the saints, preserve sound doctrine, and mature the Body of Christ. (Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:41–47; Ephesians 4:11–16)
The Ministry
We believe God continues to call and equip men and women into various ministries according to His sovereign will. Those entrusted with spiritual leadership are called to serve with humility, integrity, faithfulness, and accountability, recognizing that ministry is a sacred stewardship rather than a position of personal honor. Every minister is expected to uphold sound doctrine, model Christian character, and faithfully shepherd God’s people. (1 Timothy 3:1–13; Titus 1:5–9; 1 Peter 5:1–4)
Divine Healing
We believe divine healing is provided through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and remains available today according to the sovereign will of God. We encourage the ministry of prayer, the laying on of hands, and the anointing with oil in accordance with Scripture while recognizing God as the ultimate source of healing. (Isaiah 53:5; Mark 16:17–18; James 5:14–16)
The Ordinances
We observe the biblical ordinances instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ:
* Water Baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
* The Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion).
* The Washing of the Saints’ Feet.
These sacred ordinances serve as enduring expressions of obedience, covenant, remembrance, humility, fellowship, and service within the Body of Christ. In the washing of the saints’ feet, believers follow the example and command of Christ, demonstrating servant leadership and mutual submission in love. (Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26; John 13:1–17)
The Return of Christ
We believe in the personal, visible, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ. He will gather His Church unto Himself, judge all humanity in righteousness, establish His everlasting Kingdom, and fulfill every promise declared in the Holy Scriptures. This blessed hope motivates believers to live faithfully, watchfully, and in continual expectation of His appearing. (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Titus 2:13; Revelation 22:12)
The Resurrection and Eternal Judgment
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. Those whose names are written in the Book of Life shall inherit everlasting life in the presence of God, while those who reject God’s salvation shall face eternal judgment. God is perfectly just, perfectly holy, and perfectly merciful, and His judgments are true and righteous altogether. (John 5:28–29; Revelation 20:11–15)
Christian Unity
We believe the unity of the Body of Christ is founded upon biblical truth, mutual love, and submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. While recognizing legitimate differences in non-essential matters, we are committed to preserving the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace without compromising the essential doctrines of the Apostolic faith. (Ephesians 4:1–6; John 17:20–23)
The Great Commission
We believe the Church has been commissioned by Jesus Christ to proclaim the Gospel to every nation, make disciples, baptize believers, equip leaders, and demonstrate the compassion and power of God’s Kingdom until Christ returns. Evangelism, missions, church planting, discipleship, and ministry to the whole person remain central to the mission of the Church. (Matthew 28:19–20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8)
Our Commitment
The Fresh Manna Alliance of Christian Ministries is committed to preserving Apostolic doctrine, proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ, equipping servant leaders, strengthening local churches, and advancing the Kingdom of God throughout the world. This Statement of Faith serves as the official doctrinal standard for all affiliated churches, ministries, clergy, and members of the Alliance and shall govern its teaching, practice, and fellowship. It is our sincere desire to remain steadfast in the faith once delivered unto the saints while faithfully fulfilling the mission entrusted to the Church by our Lord Jesus Christ.
