Statement of Faith


We believe in, and require all the preachers we sponsor to acknowledge their belief In:

One God,
holy, infinite, eternal and unchangeable. Subsisting in an eternal Trinity consisting of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (John 5:7-8)

One Word,
the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, given by the plenary and verbal inspiration of God; and the only infallible rule of faith. doctrine and practice. (II Timothy 3:16-7; II Peter 1:16.21 )

One Condemnation,
there being no difference as all have sinned and are in fact, born in sin. (Romans 3:10-26; John 3:36; Ezekiel 18:4)

One Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh. We firmly attest to: His essential deity and virgin birth (Matthew 1:23), His sinless life (I John 3:5), and His vicarious death, physical and bodily resurrection from the grave, and His ascension into Heaven from where He shall return personally and premillenially to set up an earthly kingdom (John 1:1-14; 14:9; Isaiah 7:14; Acts 1:11; 3:12-26; Hebrews 9:24; I Corinthians 15:12-28; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-14; Revelation 19:19-20; 20:1-6)

One Atonement for sin,
made by Jesus Christ in a substitutionary and sacrificial death on the cross, sufficient for all, available to all, and offered to all. We believe that all must be born again or be forever lost and separated from God. (Hebrews 2:9; Romans 5:10; II Corinthians 5:18-21; Mark 10:45; I Peter 2:24)

One Spirit,
the Holy Ghost. through whose sovereign agency in regeneration, the soul, dead in sin, is made alive in Christ; and through whose sovereign agency in sanctification, the soul is changed more and more into the divine image from glory to glory. (John 16:7-15; 14:17; I Corinthians 3:16; II Corinthians 3:18)

One Life,
which is hid with Christ In God - the "life eternal"; begun when a sinner believes and receives Him, and continues thereafter by the effectual and sovereign grace of God. (Philippians 1:6; Ephesians 1:13; John 1:12; Romans 10:9-10)

One Church,
which is Christ's body, all the members of which God hath from the beginning chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the Truth. Additionally, admission is according to the "free will" of man and the grace of God through Jesus. (I Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:12-14)

Two Destinies,
that of Heaven and the Lake of Fire. That Heaven Is a place of eternal life with Christ and that the Lake of Fire is a place of eternal death and separation from God. (Revelation 20:1-15; Hebrews 9:27; John 3:16,36)

One Satan,
who Is both tempter and accuser, who exists in personality and reality. (Revelation 12:9-10; Matthew 4:2-11; John 8:44; Ephesians 6:12; I Peter 5:8)

One Commission,
the great evangelistic and missionary mandate given by Jesus Christ to the disciples and the continuing church. That it should fulfill His specific command to the individual to go if led of God, and to send others if not; that each person in each, generation would hear the Gospel. (Matthew 28: 16-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:14-15)

One Hope,
described In scripture as "the blessed hope", which is the personal, premillenial return of our Lord and Savior. (Matthew 24:44; Acts 1:11) ,

Two Ordinances given to the Church,
which are baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism is the immersion in water of a believer in Christ, "in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit"; and symbolizes the believer's death, burial and resurrection with Christ to walk in newness of life. The Lord's Supper is a commemoration of His broken body and shed blood for the remission of sin; and symbolizes the fact that the believer identifies himself with the death of Jesus Christ. These ordinances should be fulfilled only by those whose faith is in Christ. (Romans 6:3-6; I Corinthians 11:23-26)

The Charismatic Gifts,
Neither Final Frontiers, nor it's staff, nor any preacher supported by the foundation, practices the modern-day charismatic gifts. It is our belief that such gifts were specifically given during the days before the completion of the Scripture, and that they no longer exist. While we do not deny God's sovereign right to heal at His discretion, we do not believe that men possess the power to heal, but rather, are limited to praying for healing as mentioned in James, chapter five. Furthermore, we believe that the gift of tongues mentioned in Acts was not a prayer language, but languages of men known in that day (as the Scripture mentions in Acts, chapter two), and that the gift was given for the purpose of proclaiming "the wonderful works of God," the proclamation of which specifically led to salvation.
