8. RAM STATEMENT OF FAITH

Note: If you answered "no" to the above question "Are you a baptized Christian?" the completion of this STATEMENT OF FAITH section is optional

1. We believe the Bible is the infallible, inspired and authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three equally divine persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. We believe Christ is fully God and fully man and was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, took on
Himself all our sins, died and rose again, and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our mediator and advocate and is coming again to judge the
living and the dead.
4. We believe that all humanity is lost in sin and in need of salvation. God justifies the ungodly by grace through faith in Christ alone, apart from any
works.
5. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells believers, empowering them to live godly and faithful lives.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are lost will rise unto damnation and those that are saved unto the
resurrection of eternal life and everlasting joy.
7. We believe that Lord Jesus gave His Church the mandate to proclaim the Gospel to all the peoples by making disciples of every tribe, tongue, race
and peoples groups of this world.

I accept the challenges of this trip with the full acceptance that our main purpose is to impart a saving knowledge of God through Jesus Christ to all we meet.
