IBMAO Doctrinal Statement
-
We believe the whole
Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, to be the verbally inspired
and infallible Word of God.
-
We believe Jesus Christ
was born of Mary the Virgin, and is the Son of God, and God the Son.
-
We believe that Christ
died for our sins according to the Scriptures, the Just for the unjust
that He might bring us to God.
-
We believe that He rose
from the grave the third day according to the Scriptures.
-
We believe that Christ
is our great High Priest, and that He is the one mediator between God and
man.
-
We believe that Christ
will come again in person, bodily, visibly, to establish His Kingdom on
the earth.
-
We believe that in order
to be saved, a person must be born again.
-
We believe that every
truly born again believer should declare his faith in Christ by the act
of baptism (immersion in water by the authority of a local church) setting
forth the Lord's death, burial and resurrection.
-
We believe that Christ
keeps those who are truly born again.
-
We believe that all
Christians are called unto a life of separation from worldly and sinful
practices, and to a life of usefulness for Christ.
-
We believer that the
Church is a body of redeemed, baptized believers in Christ, whose mission
is to bring glory to God by instructions, worship, fellowship and edification
of the saints and, by bearing witness to the world of the person and salvation
of God. The chief means of this witness should be godly living and the
preaching of the Gospel to every creature.
-
We believe that at Christ's
coming in the air, the bodies of the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible
and reunited with soul and spirit; the bodies of Christians who are alive
shall be changed and glorified, and without dying, shall be caught up to
be with the Lord. The saved will then appear before the Judgement Seat
of Christ to be rewarded for their deeds. After these things Christ will
return bodily and visibly to the earth, with His saints, and shall rule
the world in righteousness for a thousand years at the end of which the
unsaved dead will be resurrected, and their judgment and condemnation shall
take place.
