Our Beliefs
Makers and Means International stands in the tradition of historic, gospel-centered, christian orthodoxy. We take substantial time, travel for personal inspection, and confirm through third-party verifications to identify and approve indigenous leaders who align with our statement of faith.
Statement of Faith
-
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, and only infallible authoritative Word of God.
-
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
-
We believe regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of lost and sinful man.
-
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
-
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
-
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ, which our Savior requested of the Father on our behalf, to the glory of God.
