Why do you call one another saints?
“Saints” is a biblical term that means “holy ones” or “ones who are set apart.” It appears over 95 times in Scripture, in both the Old and New Testaments, and nearly always refers to the people of God who are living. It is our delight to refer to our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ with this biblical term.
Do your members live in communes or compounds?
Our members reside and work among the general public. While we do place emphasis on taking care of the community of faith (Galatians 6:10), we do not live in communes or compounds.
How do you view people outside of the Church?
People outside of the Church are worthy of respect and dignity. We are all a part of one human family. The call of the gospel is universal, and we endeavor to be witnesses for Christ in the broader communities where we live (Matthew 5:14-16).
Do you believe that there are saved people besides yourselves?
The Bible teaches us that God is no respecter of persons when it comes to salvation (Acts 10:34). The Holy Spirit is not limited by geography or circumstance in bringing conviction to the lost and granting them repentance unto salvation. All who are saved by faith in Christ Jesus are automatically a part of the Church of God (Acts 2:47). It is our joy to recognize their place in the body of Christ whether or not they share our understanding on everything.
Does the Church believe in modern-day apostles?
We believe that the apostolic office was set in place by God, who holds the prerogative for organizing the church as He sees fit (Ephesians 4:11; 1 Corinthians 12:18, 28). Apostles are called by God (2 Timothy 1:1), and their office is every bit as valid as the other gifts placed in the body of Christ, such as pastors, teachers, and evangelists.
