And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.' (Mathew 10;7)
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
Our vision
The vision of the Freedom is to carry out its mission.
It means that every member of the Freedom must fulfill this mission.
We raise and equip people and bless them to fulfill their part of the mission.
All preachers, ministries and educational institutions submit to this vision.
Our message to the world
Our message is the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
The structure of our church
We build an apostolic church as is described in the Bible in the Book of Acts.
Attributes of the Apostolic church:
- It is a large scale church, with many daughter churches.
- The Apostle organizes the church. He is the spiritual authority.
- All the churches have one vision and one teaching.
- The churches have contact and dialogue with the Apostle during the fasts, conferences, anniversaries
and other events.
What is being formed in the Freedom?
Inside the Freedom we don’t build a structure, we build relationships. Outside we also build good relationships with denominations and authorities.
What guidelines does the Freedom has
- There is freedom in the Holy Spirit. Everyone is a free person.
- The Authority of the Word of God.
- Statutes or manuals of the Freedom.
- There is unity in a variety of different kinds of services, but with the same Spirit. The main thing is one vision, one teaching and one Apostle.
- We raise and uplift others, not ourselves. The ministry is not meant for our own glory.
What happens with the tithes from the churches?
Tithes from the church are kept separate and used only for the missionary programs. Tithes are from cheerful and free will givers.
Our next goal
By the end of 2008, church Freedom must open 3 cell groups. This is our next goal.
THE GODHEAD
Our God is one, but manifested in three persons - the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit, being coequal (Phil. 2:6). God the Father is greater than all; the sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28, John 16:28, John 1:14). The Son is the Word made flesh, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1, John 1:18, John 1:14). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 15:26).
CHRIST
Jesus is the Christ, conceived by the Holy Spirit and virgin born, the Son of God, the one and only Savior, the Lord of all.
HOLY SPIRIT
Holy Spirit is a third Person of one God. He is a most important Person to have a relationship with now, after Jesus ascension. (2-Cor 13;14, Rom 8:26-27) Holy Spirit not a wind or power but God who is willing to lead us and be our Friend, Teacher and Partner. (John 14; 26, Acts 13; 2)
ATONEMENT
Christ sacrificially died on the Cross and shed His blood as the atonement for sin.
ASCENSION
God raised Him from the dead. He ascended into Heaven, and he will visibly return in glory according to His promise.
SALVATION
Salvation is God's gift of eternal life, presented to all who, by faith, accept Jesus Christ as Savior and receive spiritual new birth by the Holy Spirit.
ABUNDANCE
Freedom believe according to the Bible (Deuterenomy 8; 18) that God is the Source of Abundance in every faucet of our live.
THE GREAT COMMISSION
Jesus issued Christians a "Great Commission": to spread the Good News of His salvation to all peoples and every nation. Preach Good News, raise the dead and heal the sick.
To fulfill this commission, Christians must not only proclaim the love of God, but demonstrate it through deeds of compassion, such as feeding the poor and hungry, providing for orphans and the homeless, and assisting the sick and distressed as God directs.
