WHAT WE BELIEVE AND TEACH:

 

The Godhead :

The Holy Trinity to be God revealing Himself in three Divine Persons, each distinct in office from the others, yet perfectly one constituting one God and not three Gods. (Matthew 28:19, Luke 3:22, John 14:9, 16, John 17:3) We see Trinity in action in: Genesis 1:26, Genesis 11:7, Matthew 3:16-17

The Holy Scriptures :

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be verbally and plenarily inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible, and God breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the complete and divine revelation of God to man. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21)

The Person and Work of Jesus Christ :

(1) We believe that God is the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ; he is the one and only true God — all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present-complete in Himself, having always existed, ever active in the universe and involved in the lives of all men. (Psalm 90:2, Isaiah 43:10, Colossians 1:1-2, Philippians 2:13) (2) The Lord Jesus Christ to be the only begotten Son of God — Jesus Christ is true God and true man.  Born of the virgin; died on the cross for the sins of mankind; was raised from the dead and ascended to the right hand of God. (Matthew 1:23, John 1:14, I Corinthians 15:3-4, Hebrews 7:26, Acts 1:9-11, Hebrews 9:18)

 

The Holy Spirit:

The Holy Spirit is a divine person - the third person of the Trinity — He is God as Spirit. (Matthew 28:19, John 14:16, Acts 13:1-2, Romans 8:14-16, and 26-28). That the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is for every believer distinct from salvation. It is the will of God that every Believer be filled with the Holy Spirit. In all the gifts of the Spirit manifesting for the purpose of meeting the needs of the people. Speaking in tongues being the initial accompanying evidence of having received. (Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4-8, Joel 2:28, Acts 2:4, I Corinthians 14:2, 4, 5, 39, I Corinthians 12:1-11, I Corinthians 14:26-40)

 

Salvation:

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God and are in need of salvation.
We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. (Romans 3:23, Luke 8:6, Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-10, Isaiah 53:1-10, I Thessalonians 5:23, Romans 5:6, Rev. 3:20)

Sanctification:

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5  For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

4  That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

5  Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

 

John 17:14-20  I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17  ¶Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

18  As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

19  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

20  ¶Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

 

Healing & Deliverance:

Divine healing was provided to the believer through Christ’s work on the cross, and it is God’s will for us to be healed — spirit, soul, and body. (Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:17, Acts 10:38, I Peter 2:24)  In Mark 16:17-18,  "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

 

Water Baptism:

Water baptism is for all believers and is by immersion. It symbolizes our being buried with Christ into death of self, so that as Christ was raised from the dead we too shall walk in newness of life. (Mark 16:16, Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:4-5, Colossians 2:12). It is basically symbolic and does not add to or remove from our salvation .

The Lord's Supper:

The Lord’s Supper with the bread and the fruit of the vine being symbolic of the body of our Lord. (Luke 22:19, I Corinthians 11:17-30,  2 Peter 1:4). It is basically symbolic and does not add to or remove from our salvation .

Giving: Tithes & Offerings:

We believe that every Christian, as a steward of that portion of God’s wealth entrusted to him, is obligated to support his local church financially. We believe that God has established the tithe as a basis for giving but that every Christian should also give other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully to the support of the Church, the relief of those in need, and to spread the Gospel.   (Proverbs 3:9-10, Malachi 3:10-11, Matthew 23:23, Luke 11:42, I Corinthians 10:11)

Christ's Second Coming:

We believe In the personal, visible, imminent return of Jesus Christ.
Christ’s Second Coming includes the rapture of the church (Our Blessed Hope) followed at the conclusion of tribulation by the return of Christ with His Saints. We believe in a Pre-Tribulation rapture. (Luke 21:36, John 14:2-3, I Thessalonians 4:13-17, Revelation 3:10).  A literal 7-year tribulation. (Matthew 24:15, 21, 29, Daniel 12:11, Revelation 7:14). We believe in The Final Judgment (the Great White throne) as being the time of judgment for the wicked dead and the  everlasting punishment in the lake of fire, which is the second death. (Matthew 25:46, Mark 9:43-48, Revelation 19:20,  Revelation 20:11-15, Revelation 10:11-15, Revelation 21:8)

 

Human Sexuality:

We believe that God commanded that no intimate sexual activity should be engaged in outside of marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are all sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex. (Genesis 2:24, Genesis 19:5,13, Genesis 26:8-9, Leviticus 18:1-30, Romans 1:26-29, I Corinthians 5:1, I Corinthians 6:9, I Thessalonians 4:1-8, Hebrews 13:4)

Divorce and Remarriage:

We believe that God hates divorce and intends marriage to last until one of the spouses dies. We believe that marriage is a covenant and not a contract. It's not negotiable! Divorce and remarriage is regarded as adultery except when  an unsaved mate wants to leave. (Malachi 2:14-17, Matthew 19:3-12, Romans 7:1-3, I Timothy 3:2, 12, Titus 1: 6, I Corinthians 7)

Abortion:

We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Abortion constitutes the unjustified, unexcused taking of unborn human life. Abortion is murder. We reject any teaching that abortions of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control, or the mental well-being of the mother are acceptable. (Job 3:26, Psalm 51:5, Psalm 139:14-16, Isaiah 44:24, Isaiah 49:1, 5, Jeremiah 1:5, Jeremiah 20:15-18, Luke 1:44). All abortions are being controlled by the spirit of Molech. He loves to watch babies and little children being  mercilessly dissected and baked to their deaths. Don't offer your babies to this wicked and blood-thirsty gods!

THE ORIGIN OF SATAN - THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY:

THE PRE-ADAMITE AND SATANIC FALL

We believe that long before God created the present earth, (between Genesis 1:1 & 1:2), He created an innumerable company of sinless, spiritual beings, known as angels.

SATAN:

We believe that one of the angels, LUCIFER, "son of the morning" - the highest in rank - sinned through pride, thereby becoming SATAN; and that a great company of the angels and all of the demons followed him in his MORAL fall.

We believe that he is the enemy of God and the people of God, opposing and exalting himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped: and that he who in the beginning said, "I will be like the most High," in his warfare appears as an angel of light.

(Isa. 14:12-17; Ezek. 28:11-19; 1 Tim. 3:6; 2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6. Revelation 12:4)

 The Originator of Sin

We believe that Satan is the originator of sin, and that, under the trial-permission of God, he, through subtlety, led our first parents into transgression, thereby accomplishing their moral fall and subjecting them and their posterity to his own power.

 The origin of All False Religion - Nimrodic Doctrine.

We believe that Satan is the origin of all false religion, even counterfeiting the works of God by fostering religious movements and systems of doctrine, WHICH FALSE SYSTEMS IN EVERY CASE ARE CHARACTERIZED BY A DENIAL OF THE EFFICACY OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST AND OF SALVATION BY GRACE ALONE.

(Gen. 3:1-19; Gen. 10:8-10; Rom 5:12-14; 2 Cor. 4:3-4; 11:13-15; Eph. 6:10-12; 2 Thess. 2:4; 1 Tim. 2:1-3.)

                       THE FALLEN ANGELS

We believe that the fallen angels are spiritual beings, possessing angelic bodies and who, with Satan, still inhabit the second heaven, with access to the earth; they are those spiritual intelligences originally appointed by God to rule and reign with Him in the heavens, but who now assist Satan in his rule in the present world system - constituting today the evil "principalities," "powers," and "rulers of darkness" in "high" (heavenly) places as discussed by Paul in his letter to the Ephesians.  (Eph. 6:12.)

  The Demons / Devils:

Let us clarify an often misunderstood point: Fallen angels are not demon spirits. Angels are heavenly creatures... While they clearly live in their own spiritual bodies, demons wander the earth in search of a body to inhabit.

We know that demons will often energize and promote  false teachers / teachings. We also know that unwary and unstable believers may receive the false doctrine from demons - 1 Timothy 4:1. They are the devils or demons spoken of so often in the New Testament, who - because they lack bodies and suffer a wandering unrest and wearisome lack of ease - seek now to seize upon the bodies of men and women endeavoring to use them as their own. So intense is their craving that, if they can satisfy their lusts in no other way, they will even enter into the filthy bodies of swine.  (Matt. 8:31.)

Note: A Genuine true Born-again, Child of God CANNOT be possessed or inhabited by demons, though they may hang around to influence, when doors are opened...

Thank God our bodies are Holy Ghost's Temple and God does not share any thing with Satan. (2 Corinthians 6:14-16; 1 Corinthians 6:19).

UNFALLEN OR GOOD ANGELS:

We believe that a great company of angels kept their holy estate and are before the throne of God, from whence they are sent forth as ministering spirits to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation. (Luke 15:10; Eph. 1:21; Heb. 1:14; Rev. 7:11.)

                  JUDGMENT OF SATAN.

We believe that Satan (and all his followers) were judged at the Cross, though not then executed, and that he, a usurper, now rules as the "god of this world;" that, at the Second Coming of Christ, Satan  will be bound and cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years.

               Satan with all his agents will be restrained until 1000-years-reign of Christ with His Saints.

1000 years (Millennium) free of Sin, free of Satan, curses, dogs etc. What a wonderful time that would be!

In addition, after the thousand years, he will be loosed for a little season for his last battle. And he shall go out to deceive the nations, which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. Suddenly, the fire of God will come down out of heaven, to devourer them.
Then, the devil that deceived them will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone (execution of judgment), where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever. (Col. 2:15; Rev. 20:1-10.) The End Of Satan! The End Of Rebellion! The End Of Sin!

ISRAEL

1. ISRAEL IS NOT FORSAKEN BY GOD:

We believe that the Church does not replace the nation of Israel; that God has not forsaken His people, the Jews. THE WHOLE WOLRD SHALL CALL HER MOTHER. OUT OF ZION, NATIONS SHALL BE BORN ! We believe that soon and very soon, The Redeemer, who we know to be Jesus (YESHUA), the Messiah, will come out of Zion, at which time He will wholly redeem Israel back to Himself. (Genesis 12:1-3; Romans 11:1-36 ; Ezekiel 39:25-29)

2. ISRAEL: IS THE EXPRESSION OF GOD'S EARTHLY GLORY.

We believe that Israel will ultimately be the expression of God's earthly glory, the counterpart to the church, God's heavenly expression.

3. THE BELIEVER'S PROPER ATTITUDE TOWARDS ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE:

We believe that a divine love should fill our hearts for God's people, the Jews, and that we should repent in behalf of Christianity for all the centuries of hate and prejudice heaped upon the Jews by Christians everywhere. (Dan. 9:1-20; Rom. 9:1-3.) We believe that our love for the Jews should not be in word only, but also in deed by support for the Jews the world over, both physical and spiritual - and that above all, a true unprejudiced, humble sharing of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Messiah. " ...SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS". (Luke 7:2-5; Acts 10:1-2; 1 Cor. 10:32; Rom. 11:1; 25-26; Isa. 59:20-21; Ezek. 37:1-3; 39:25-29; John 4:22 )

              OUR 4-FOLD MANDATE /VISION

1.             Recovery of the Lost & Deceived:

Luke 19:10  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

 

Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost… What are these lost things? The whole world of mankind, by the fall of Adam, has become the lost world: A traveler is considered lost when he /she has missed the way in the wilderness(Sin is defined as "missing the mark"); an individual with an incurable diseases is considered LOST!  A prisoner is LOST when the sentence is passed /pronounced upon him /her. But thank God for the AMAZING GRACE, that Jesus (the extension of God's Unmerited GRACE), came from heaven to earth to seek that which was lost. He came to seek those that have wandered and gone astray, out of darkness and into His marvelous light. He came to seek those that were not worth seeking; those that sought him not…what a merciful Savior! What a magnification of His Mercy towards the disobedient and condemned world. What a mystery,  that the Indisputable, Sovereign and Superior YAHWEH will condescend, stooping down with Barak-Eulogia, on a bended knees unto an inferior creature - the LOST, DISOBEDIENT and CONFUSED mankind. This is indeed AMAZING CRACE! This is the mission/mandate of Jesus Christ and consequently, of the ZCRM.

Isaiah 11:11  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

     As the Lord in that day will recover the remnant of his people (Israel) from the territories of their enemies, today He  wants to call back and recover those individuals -Children of God who are deceived and forced to flee for shelter into all the territories of Satan. They are  to return to Yahweh, and to their own country and to put themselves under the protection and government of the Lion of Judah - Jesus Christ. This is said to be a recovery of them the second time, as their first deliverance (salvation) out of Egypt /World was the first time. Today, God is still in the business of recovering the backsliders, the deceived,  and those who are only seeking after miracles, prosperity,  Healing, signs and wonders.

We are warned not to pursue signs, wonders & miracles for they shall follow us.

Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Note: As we engage in His recovery business, The LORD will recover  everything we lost, including things stolen from us. AMEN!     

2.   Renewal & Sanctification:

1 Thessalonians 4:3-4  For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

4.  That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

Psalms 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Isaiah 40:31  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

 3.   Reconciliation unto God & to Each Other:

2 Corinthians 5:18-19  And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19  To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Ezekiel 45:20  And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.

 4.    Re-assurance & Guaranteed Reservation of Heaven:

 John 14:1-3  ¶Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2  In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
