BELIEF STATEMENTS:
The statements below are simply a basis of some of the Biblical truths
Winder Ministries believe:
SCRIPTURE
I Timothy 3:16; I Corinthians 2:13
We believe in the plenary-verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of the
Scriptures as originally given and that they are infallibly and uniquely
authoritative and free from error of any sort in all matters with which they
deal, including scientific and historical as well as moral and theological.
GOD HIMSELF
Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13-14
We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as ONE God
existing in THREE persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but
indivisible.
BIBLICAL HISTORY
Genesis 1-11
We believe in the full historicity and perspicuity of the Biblical record of
primeval history, including the literal existence of Adam and Eve as the
progenitors of all people, the literal fall and resultant divine curse on
the creation, the worldwide cataclysmic deluge, and the origin of nations
and languages at the tower of Babel.
CREATION
Romans 3:10-18
We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis; his
total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:16
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the
Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man.
CHRIST'S DEATH & RESURRECTION
I Corinthians 15: 14; Romans 4:25
We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third
day, and personally appeared to His disciples.
CHRIST'S BODILY ASCENSION
John 14:2-3; 1 Thess. 4:13-18
We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation and
personal, literal and bodily coming again the second time for the Church.
SALVATION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH
Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11
We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and
faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we
obtain remission of sins.
WATER BAPTISM
Matthew 28;19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6
We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the
Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of Christ.
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Acts 2:1-4; 8:14, 17; 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Sprit as an experience subsequent to
salvation.
THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I
Corinthians 12-14, and as manifested in the Early Church.
SPIRIT-FILLED LIVING
Ephesians 5:18; I Corinthians 6:14; 7:1
We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world
and perfecting holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian
faith.
HEALING
Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:1
We believe in the healing of the body by Divine Power, or Divine healing in
its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church.

We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord's
Supper, for believers.
ETERNAL LIFE

We believe in eternal life for believers (John 5:24; 3:16) and eternal
punishment for unbelievers.
SATAN & HIS JUDGMENT

We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and eternal judgment of
Satan and his angels.
