Beliefs

PURE Ministries serves and ministers to anyone, regardless of their beliefs or lack of beliefs. The following states why our ministry was founded, what we do, and why we do it – this is what we believe:

We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the only infallible, authoritative Word of God, is verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the original writings, and that it is the supreme and final authority in faith and life.

We believe God is eternally existent, omnipotent, omnipresent, manifesting Himself in Three Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; one in nature, equal in attributes, power, and glory.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and that He is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.

We believe that God created man in His own image and in a state of innocence, but man willfully transgressed God’s law and lost communion with God, becoming dead in sin, corrupt in nature, and incapable of pleasing God. The shed blood of Jesus Christ provides the only ground for salvation, and only those who believe in Him and accept Him as Lord and Savior are saved

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and rose again for our justification; and those all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood and are saved by grace through faith wholly apart from human merit and works.

We believe that salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone for all men – that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God and thereby become the children of God, possessing eternal life.

We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.

We believe in the personal and visible return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to reign upon the earth.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead, both the saved and the lost – the saved to a life of eternal glory and bliss in Heaven with God; the unsaved to eternal judgment of conscious suffering and woe in the lake of fire.

We believe that the ultimate purpose in living is to know and glorify God and to attain eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, beginning within our own families and then reaching out to a suffering humanity that does not know of His love and sacrifice.

We believe that all children are a heritage from God and a blessing from His hand. We are therefore accountable to Him for raising, shaping and preparing them for a life of service to His Kingdom and to humanity.

We believe that there are no “disabled” souls – that human life is of inestimable worth and significance in all its dimensions, including the unborn, physically/mentally/developmentally disabled, the aged, the widowed, the unattractive, and every other condition in which humanness is expressed from conception to the grave as created by our loving God.
