WHAT WE BELIEVE

At Worship and Faith International Fellowship (WAFIF); We believe:

  1. That the Bible is the written inspired word of God (2 Tim.3:15-17, Matt 5:17-18, Psalm 19:7-8). God breathed into the writers so that they were incapable of making mistakes.
  2. That there is one eternal, all powerful, and all knowing God who exists in three persons, namely: (a) Father (b) Son (c) Holy Ghost (Deut 6:4; Gen.1:26; Matt.28:19; Rom.15:30; 2 Cor.13:14; 1 Peter 1:2)
  3. That a person is lost in sin and separated from God until he/she confesses, repents and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Saviour and Lord (Matt.1:21; 1 John 1:9; Luke 13:3).
  4. In Water Baptism….in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost (Matt 28:19; Rom 6:3-5). Acts 2:38 does not cancel Matt. 28:19. Either can be done.
  5. In baptism with the Holy Ghost as a separate experience from conversion. This baptism opens the believer to spiritual power (Jn.20:22; Acts 1:8, Acts.2:4; 10:44-48; 19:2-6).
  6. That the saved believer in Christ should seek the fruit and gifts of the Holy Ghost. (Gal. 5:22, 23; Matt.17:18-21; Mark 16:17-20; 1 Cor.1:7; 12:1-11, 31).
  7. In a life that hates sin and loves holiness (Rom. 6:23; 1 Peter 1:13-16; Isaiah 59:2)
  8. That we are commanded by Christ to win the lost (Luke 14:23; Mark16:15, 16)
  9. In regular church attendance (Heb. 10:25, 1 Cor. 12:12, 14-23, 27)
  10. That there is life after death, the saved goes to a literal heaven (John 14:1-3; I Cor.15:52, 1 Thes 4:16-18) and the unsaved to a literal hell (Matt 5:29; Luke 16:19-31; Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8)
  11. That a believer will not automatically prosper because he/she is a believer. God’s prosperity and success come through the principle of sowing and reaping; and giving and receiving. Faith must be extended to receive. (Gen. 8:22; Luke 6:38; Phil 4:15-19; Deut 12:5-7; 11-14; Malachi 3:6-12; Eccl.11:1-6, Deut.8:18).
  12. That pastors should love and take care of their congregation and that they in return should be properly taken care of by the persons they serve (Deu.12:19; Luke 8:1-3; 1 Cor.9:7-14; Phil 4:15-19; Jer. 3:15; 23:1-4)
  13. That love is the foundation to a happy, prosperous, victorious and fulfilled Christian life. (1 Cor.13:1; 1 John 2:9-11; 4:7-21)
  14. That (Matthew 19:9, 1 Cor. 7:1-17, 10:15, Matt 5:31-32, Mark 10:2-12) should be the basis for divorce and remarriage. However each case must be dealt with on its own merit.
  15. In the partaking of the Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11: 24-27, Luke 22:19-20, John 6:53-58, Acts 2:42).
  16. In Water Baptism (John 1:29-34, Matthew 3:11, Matt 28:18-20, Acts 8:36-39)
  17. That babies should be dedicated (1 Sam 1:11, Luke 2:21, Matt 19:13-14, Mark 10:13, Luke 18:16)
