Rev, & Mrs McKivett


We are a five point Sovereign Grace Christian Community. We are also ‘continuist’ because we believe all the gifts of the Spirit including tongues and prophecy have not ceased.

ARTICLES OF FAITH of Full Gospel Community
Posted by David McKivett on 25 March 2008 at 9:44am

THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of God and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

THE TRINITY
We believe that the Godhead exists co-equally and co-eternally in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.

THE SAVIOUR
We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His real and complete humanity, in His sinless life, in His authoritative teaching, in His substitutionary and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His heavenly intercession and in His second advent to receive His Church.

THE HOLY SPIRITWe believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration and sanctification

THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
We are continuists and as such believe all the gifts will be in existence until the second coming of Christ.

MANKIND
We believe in the universal sinfulness of all men since the Fall, rendering man subject to God's wrath and condemnation.

SALVATION
We believe in the necessity for salvation of the repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which the sinner is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God's sight. This justification is imputed by the grace of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received by faith alone and is evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit and a holy life.

TULIP
Tulip is an acronym and stand for: Total Depravity, Unconditional Grace, Limited Atonement’ Irresistible Grace, and the Perseverance of the saints.

We believe in the total depravity of man, grace is unconditional, the atonement is limited to the elect, and those whom God elects will not be able to resist Him. The P in tulip stands for Perseverance of the saints. We do not disagree with the doctrine but prefer to use the term Eternal Security.

Eternal Security
We believe in the doctrine of "eternal security." The doctrine of eternal security in theological language is referred to as the "perseverance of the saints." In common expression it is referred to as "once saved, always saved" or "once a Christian, always a ChristianHe who believes has eternal life (John 6:47).... Every one who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day (John 6:40).... I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish: no one can snatch them out of my hand (John 10:28) ....There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).... Those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son (Romans 8:29).... [Nothing] will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:39).... [Christ] will keep you strong to the end (1 Corinthians 1:8).... God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear (1 Corinthian 10:13).... He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6).... We have passed from death to life (1 John 3:14).

THE CHURCH
We believe in the spiritual unity and the priesthood of all believers in Christ and these comprise the universal Church, the Body of Christ.

THE MINISTRY
We believe in the ministries that Christ has set in His Church, namely, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, and in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the New Testament.

THE ORDINANCES
We believe in the baptism of believers by immersion in water in obedience to the command of Christ and in the commemoration of Christ's death by the observance of the Lord's Supper until His return.

THE COMMISSION
We believe that the gospel embraces the needs of the whole man and that the Church is therefore commissioned to preach the gospel to the world and to fulfil a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual and physical needs of mankind.

THE COMING KING
We believe in the personal, physical and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in power and glory.

THE FUTURE STATE
We believe in the resurrection of the dead and in the final judgement of the world, the eternal conscious bliss of the righteous and the eternal conscious punishment of the wicked.
