ARTICLES OF FAITH
As a Christian organization, the KINGDOM Group International, Inc. was founded on and is committed to the following statements of faith:
- WE BELIEVE that both the Old and New Testaments constitute the divinely inspired Word of God, inerrant in the originals.
- WE BELIEVE in one God existing eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men.
- WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, comfort, and seal those who believe in Jesus Christ.
- WE BELIEVE that man is totally depraved in that of himself. He is utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.
- WE BELIEVE that salvation is the gift of God, who brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose atoning blood was shed on the cross for the forgiveness of sins.
- WE BELIEVE in the water baptism of believers, symbolizing the believer’s union in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- WE BELIEVE in the observance of the Lord’s Supper, commemorating the sacrifice of our Savior for all mankind.
