| The following
shall be the doctrinal standard of John 9 Ministries:
The Trinity:
We believe in the tri-unity of God: that the
three Divine Persons—the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit—have existed from eternity past as the
one true God. While each is distinct, they share equally
in all of God's unchanging attributes.
The Bible's Inspiration:
We believe that only the 39 books of the Old Testament
and the 27 books of the New Testament are “God-breathed”
Scripture. We believe that inspiration extends to all
parts of the Bible, as well as to the individual words.
We believe the Holy Spirit superintended the human authors
to use words in their vocabulary to communicate God’s
revelation to man. We believe all Scripture is without
error and is the final authority for the believer in
all areas of faith and practice.
The Person of Christ:
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is both fully eternal
God and fully sinless Man, one unique God-Man with two
distinct natures. We believe God the Son, in the fullness
of time, became human through the virgin conception
and virgin birth, as the Holy Spirit supernaturally
impregnated the Virgin Mary, making Him a physical descendant
of David, Abraham and Adam. We believe Jesus Christ
had no sin nature, that He was tempted as we are, yet
remained sinless.
The Work of Christ:
We believe that Jesus Christ, came into the world to
save sinners from their sins and from the results of
sin, including physical and spiritual death. We believe
that He perfectly obeyed and fulfilled the Law of God,
perfectly revealed God to man, and died as an complete
and final substitutionary sacrifice on the Cross to
pay for man’s sin. We believe His body was buried
and that He bodily arose three days later in a glorified
body. We believe that He gave clear, objective evidence
of His Resurrection to more than 500 witnesses before
He visibly and bodily ascended into heaven. We believe
Christ will return bodily at the end of this age.
Salvation:
We believe every human being, except Christ, is a sinner
by nature and choice, spiritually dead in trespasses
and sins. Thus, every person needs to be saved from
his or her sins and God's judgment. We believe salvation
is by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone.
God’s gift of eternal salvation and the regenerating
work of the Holy Spirit requires no human effort, works
or additional steps following faith. Obedience, good
works and the fruit of the Spirit are the result of
salvation, not its cause. Genuine faith implies true
repentance from sin and confidence in the Word of God
which reveals Jesus Christ
Heaven and Hell:
We believe Scripture clearly teaches that heaven or
hell are the ultimate destination of all human beings
depending on their relationship to Christ. We believe
that Christianity God is patient with mankind and is
not willing that any should perish, but that all should
repent. However, those who reject His love, offered
through Christ's death and resurrection, will, because
of their own personal choice not to trust in Christ,
eternally suffer God’s wrath in the Lake of Fire.
Those who believe in Christ will be spend eternity in
the bliss of heaven.
Works of Obedience.
We believe that, although salvation is not earned by
works, Christ has commanded us to do works of righteousness
as a manifestation of our faith and obedience. It is
the responsibility of those who are saved to do good
works in service to God and man, including ministering
to the helpless, persons with disabilities and their
caregivers, and others in need of counseling, assistance,
food, clothing, shelter and other physical and spiritual
necessities, which is one of the primary reasons for
the existence of John 9 Ministries. We also believe
that Christians, regardless of denominational distinctions,
should work together in every way their conscience and
Scripture allows, to communicate the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, to live holy lives and to love and serve one
another, as long as the Lord grants them life.
