We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer. We believe that the church, the body of Christ, consists only of those who are born again, who are baptized by the Holy Spirit into Christ at the time of regeneration, for whom He now makes intercession in heaven and for whom He will come again. We believe that the saved will be raised to everlasting life and blessedness in heaven, and that the unsaved will be raised to everlasting and conscious punishment in hell. We believe that the return of Jesus Christ is imminent, and that it will be visible and personal. We believe that salvation consists of the remission of sins, the imputation of Christ’s righteousness, reconciliation to God, and the gift of eternal life, received by faith alone, apart from works.į. We believe that Jesus Christ is God, was born of a virgin, died vicariously, shed His blood as man’s substitutionary sacrifice, rose bodily, and ascended to heaven, where He is presently exalted at the Father’s right hand.Į. Because of Adam’s sin, all men are guilty before God, are totally depraved, and need to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit for salvation.ĭ. We believe that Adam, created in the image of God, was tempted by Satan, the god of this world, and fell. We believe that that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Ĭ. We believe that the Bible, consisting of Old and New Testaments only, is verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, is without error in the original manuscripts, and is the infallible and authoritative Word of God.ī. The results of this Great Commission Partnership were:ġ) The advancement of the Gospel (1:5,12)Ģ) The joy and blessing of all the partners (1:4,26 2:2,17 4:1,10,17,19)Ī. Their partnership included mutual communication, mutual concern, mutual visits, mutual prayer, mutual encouragement, mutual sharing of resources. These believers were literally fulfilling the Great Commission through partnership with God’s servants on the field. As partners, their roles varied, but there was equal ownership, equal commitment, and equal reward in the Mission. The believers in Philippi were far more than supporters of “Paul’s ministry”. The Philippians and the apostle Paul established a “Great Commission Partnership” in which the common purpose was the spread of the Gospel. The idea is joint-participation in an intimate relationship where there is a common purpose. The word “koinonia” which is often translated “fellowship” comes from the word “koinos” which means “sharer”. In this verse Paul expresses his joyful thanks to God for their “partnership” or “fellowship” in the Gospel. “Partnership in the Gospel” is described in Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi beginning with 1:5. It simply means that our participation will involve partnership with others who understand the language, culture, and worldview of those we are seeking to reach. This doesn’t mean that we don’t actually participate in global outreach. The biblical answer to this dilemma is participation locally and partnership internationally. The dilemma is how to be actively involved in proclaiming the Gospel and making disciples both locally and internationally without changing our vocation and location. 28:18~20 Mark 16:15 Luke 24:46~48 John 20:21 Acts 1:8) is God’s command for all believers and all churches, not just a few individuals. We believe that the Great Commission (Matt. The Mission of SPEAR International Ministries is to equip and empower individual Christians and churches to discover and fulfill their role in the Great Commission primarily through the establishment of strategic partnerships with indigenous ministries around the world.
