Doctrine
We Believe:
| 1. |
The inspiration and
inerrancy of Scripture. |
| 2. |
The Deity of Jesus
Christ. |
| 3. |
The virgin birth of
Jesus Christ. |
| 4. |
The substitutionary,
atoning work of Christ upon the Cross. |
| 5. |
The physical
resurrection and personal, bodily return of Jesus Christ to the Earth. |
We believe in the supreme
authority of the Word of God as the final rule in faith and practice;
the autonomy of the local New Testament Church; the priesthood of
all believers; the ordinances of believer's baptism by immersion
and the Lord's Supper; individual freedom and responsibility; a
saved Church membership; two offices in the Church of pastors and
deacons; and the separation of Church and State.
As a group of New Testament Bible believers, we take our stand against
the current trends that lead to discrediting the Bible and undermining
the fundamentals of the faith. AMI takes a separatist stand against
neo-evangelicalism, the ecumenical movement, the Evangelical and
Catholic Accord, the modern tongues movement, the Word of Faith
movement, and neo-fundamentalism.
Principles
We at AMI:
| 1. |
Are
committed to Christ for all that to which He is committed in
us -- exclusively -- at all times, and in all circumstances.
|
| 2. |
Are
available to Christ twenty-four hours a day, with all we have
and all we are. |
| 3. |
Accept
the privilege of sacrificial giving, because all we possess
is Christ’s; we are to be faithful stewards. |
| 4. |
Are
debtors to all men everywhere, young and old alike, rich or
poor, who have not yet heard that Jesus Christ died and rose
again to save them. |
| 5. |
Are
in full time service of the Lord Jesus Christ, regardless of
occupation. |
| 6. |
Seek
through faith, prayer, and obedience to our Lord to be found
actively "on the job" at His Personal Appearing, which
we joyfully expect. |
| 7. |
Study
our Bible daily, pray always, and give thanks for all things
to God the Father in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. |
| 8. |
Will
at all times maintain a proper focus -- "Looking unto Jesus."
|
| 9. |
Shall
live by faith. |
| 10. |
Seek
only and always to do those things that please our Lord. |
