ApostolicWorld Christian Fellowship, Inc.
Ministerial Letter of Intent
FELLOWSHIP: by fellowship, we mean spiritual unity with all groups and persons of like precious faith, throughout the world, who wish to enjoy this blessed fellowship in Christ.
I. Statement
We believe in the fundamental principal of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, according to I Corinthians 15:1- 4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you - unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.”
We believe in repentance, baptism in the name of the Lord JesusChrist, and being filled with the Holy Ghost with scriptural evidence of speaking in tongues according to Acts 2:4 and Acts 2:38. Acts 2:4 “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance”. Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said to them,"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
II. Purpose
To fulfill the prayer of Christ as found in St. John17:21 “That they may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou has sent me.”
To help bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ”
To better present the gospel of Christ to the entire world by fulfilling St. John 13:35 “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”
III. Plan
That each church or group remain sovereign and each minister be answerable to their own organization for their conduct and teaching.
That personal fellowship and association be left solely to the individuals involved Ephesians 4:1-3 “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to have a walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with long suffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling” Ephesians 4:13 “till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;”
