What We Believe

KOINONIA HOUSE^® NATIONAL MINISTRIES has compiled the following statements as a
testimony of the truths that bind all Christians in the Body of Christ, the Church.

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. (2 Tim 3:16;
2 Peter 1:21)

2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Duet 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 1 Cor. 8:6)

3. We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning
death on the cross, and His bodily resurrection from the grave. (Col. 1:15; Phil 2: 5-8; Matt. 1: 18-
25; 1 Peter 2: 24-25; Luke 24; Hebrews 4: 14-16)

4. We believe that Jesus Christ ascended to the right hand of the Father, now rules as Head of His
body, the Church, and will personally return in power and glory. (Luke 24:33-43; John 20:24-29;
I Cor. 15:3-8)

5. We believe that the Church, composed of believers in Christ, proclaims the gospel of God’s
redemption, nurtures Christians in their life of faith, and cares for the needy. (Acts 2: 41; 15: 13-17;
Ephesians 1:3-6; 1 Cor. 12:12-13; Matthew 29:19-20; Acts 1: 6-8; 1 Thess. 4:16-18)

6. We believe that human beings in their natural state are lost and alienated from God. (Gen. 1:26-
27; Rom. 3: 10, 23)

7. We believe that reconciliation with God comes through personal faith in the person and work of
Jesus Christ. (John 3:3; John 3:16; Matthew 25: 46; 2 Cor. 5:1)

8. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, a Christian is made
spiritually alive and enabled to live a godly life. (John 14:26; Rom. 8:14; Gal. 5:16, 22, 23)

9. We believe in the resurrection of both those who believe in Jesus Christ, and those who are
alienated from God. Those who believe have eternal life with Christ; those who are lost are
separated forever from God. (Rev. 20; Joel 3; Matt. 25; 2 Pet. 3: 13; Rom. 14)

10. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
