Section A

Terms and Conditions of Order

The Equip Ministry Resources Statement of Faith:

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God.
  • We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
  • We believe In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years.
  • We believe in the blessed hope - the rapture of the Church at Christ’s coming.
  • We believe the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the blood of Christ.
  • We believe regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
  • We Believe God works through the members of His church to evangelize the lost and teach believers to obey His commands (Matthew 28:18-20). Churches are to be open to and accepting of all people, offering God’s love and redemption to each person without prejudice or condemnation (John 3:16-18). However, in their efforts to reach out, churches must take care to uphold the Word of God, and not engage in moral compromise (Romans 12:2) or affirm any sin such as sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, stealing, greed, drunkenness, slander, swindling (1 Corinthians 6:9-10), murder, strife, deceit, malice, gossip (Romans 1:21-32), witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, factions, or envy (Galatians 5:19-21).
  • We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.
  • We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
As a faith based organization, we reserve the right to refuse service to any company or organization that does not share in our beliefs.
