Kingdom Restoration Outreach and Deliverance Ministry, Inc. recognizes that it cannot, and does not desire to, bind the conscience of individuals in areas where Scripture is silent. Rather, each believer is to be led in those areas by God, to whom he or she alone is ultimately responsible. We believe the Statement of Beliefs to be an accurate summary of what the Scripture teaches.
The Inspired Scriptures – The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired and infallible revealed of God to man and the authority of faith and conduct. KROADM accepts the Bible as the revealed will of God, as the all-sufficient rule of faith and standard for daily living. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Peter 1:21)
The One True God- We believe that both old and New Testaments affirm that solemn fact that “there is but one God,” (Deuteronomy 4:6; Galatians 3:20, Ephesians 4:4); IMMORTAL, ALL – PERVADING and many other attributes (excellencies), all of which are of the highest perfection and each complete in itself. We deny the doctrine of the Trinity, it is not biblical (i. e. Three separate person in One God, or a Trinity).
We believe that the Old Testament theosophist were various manifestations of that One God, made necessary in His attempts to meet the needs of man. We believe that He was God before His creation postulated that there would be necessary manifestations for the purpose of salvation (Psalm 90:5. It was the vast creation, coming from His hands (Psalms 95:5), looking directly to Him for sustenance that required His Fatherhood.
We fully believe in the mystery of the Godhead. We believe that Jesus was both human and divine; and the fullness of God (Colossians 1:9 ; 2:9). We believe that Jesus was Mary’s Son and Mary’s God; Creator and creature; God manifest in the flesh (St. John 1:14); that the flesh of Jesus was the same as ours with the exception that it had no sin; that Jesus was the God-man, and the highest revelation of the invisible God. We believe that at the consummation of all things there will be only one God and that will be our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Fall of Man- Man was created good and upright; however, man voluntarily transgressed and fell, and thereby, is spiritually dead and away from God. (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:17, 3:6; Romans 5:12-19)
The Salvation of Man- We believe that salvation means “deliverance from the slavery (bondage) of sin” NOW: and ultimately from every vestige (visible trace) of sin in our spirits and in our bodies. We believe that salvation is in three tenses, PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE. We believe that there is a Past experience in our salvation; the believer has been “saved” from the quilt and penalty of sin when he believes and obeys the gospel and is safe (St Luke 7:50; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 2:15; Ephesians 2:5-8; 2 Timothy 1:9); that there is a Present experience in our salvation; the believer in being “SAVED” from the habit and dominion of sin ( Romans 6:14; 8:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 2:19-20; Philippians 1:19; 2:12-13; 2 Thessalonians 2:13); that there is a Future in our salvation; the believer shall be “SAVED” at the Lord’s return, from all the bodily infirmities that are the result of sin and God’s curse upon the sinful world (Romans 8:18-23; 1 Corinthians 15:42-44), and will be brought into entire conformity to Christ (Romans 13:11; Hebrews 10:36; 1 Peter 1:5; 1 John 3:2) and to the complete deliverance of our bodies from the effects of sin. Although we are saved, our bodies still bear infirmities, weaknesses, both physical and mental, sicknesses and diseases that will be our portion until these vile bodies shall be fashioned like unto His glorious body Philippians 3:20).
Ordinances of the Church- We believe that following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new believer in commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water by full immersion in the name of Jesus Christ. WATER BAPTISM should be administered “ in the name of Jesus Christ” for this was the name given to our savior before His birth for the purpose of “saving his people from their sins” (St Matthew 1:21); for there is salvation in “none other name” (Acts 4:12). Whereby we must be saved. We believe in a unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the body and blood of Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus sacrifice on the cross. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST- We believe “all true believers” receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, as promised by our Lord, as a witness to their scriptural - based faith in Jesus (St. John 7:37-39); and that the new birth of the Spirit (St. John 3:5) in necessary to place the believer in the kingdom of God or the body of Christ (The Church), (1 Corinthians 12:12-13). We further believe that the out- pouring of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost marked a “new era” in the Spirit’s dealings with mankind as prophesied by Joel (2:28-29) and )Isaiah 28:11), the Holy Ghost brings the “gift” to every believer in this age of grace. The Holy Ghost bears witness that “we are the children of God” (Romans 8:15); it is a witness to the faith of our hearts (Acts 15:7-9). The Holy Ghost does not indwell the believer simply because he says “I believe” as many evangelicals teach. St. Paul shows that the Holy Ghost comes after believing (Ephesians 1:13), Not synonymous with it. The Holy Ghost is the seal of righteousness of the faith “Which the believer has (Romans 4:11) as circumcision was the seal of the righteousness of the faith of Abraham.
SPEAKING WITH TONGUES- We believe that “speaking with tongues” as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:4) is the initial evidence of the indwelling of the Spirit; not only on the day of Pentecost for the one hundred and twenty, but for all believers for all time. Jesus told Nicodemus the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou headrest the “sound” thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goth; so is EVERYONE that is born of the “spirit (St. John 3:8). “Speaking with tongues is the sound” of the Spirit, heard by every believer. It is synonymous with the cry of the “newborn babe” in the first birth (birth of the flesh); for God has sent forth His Spirit into our hearts in the second birth (birth of the Spirit) CRYING, Abba Father (Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6).
MIRACLES AND HEALING- We believe that God is the “only” healer, and that miracles are performed today as in biblical times. This is to say that whatever means, whether it be prayer or medication for the relief from suffering, in the final analysis, God alone sets the healing processes in motion (Isaiah 1:6; 38:21; Luke 34; James 5:14). This is Not a condemnation of the advances of medical science nor a refusal to accept their findings; but rather a faith that reaches beyond their findings; a faith that reaches beyond their human limitations and rests the final outcome in God’s hands, however, it was never God’s intention that the human body, the “temple of the Holy Spirit” should be neglected and allowed to deteriorate to the point of irreparable disease in order to prove our faith in God. We believe that God can and does heal ALL MANNER OF DISEASES, and that “These signs shall follow them that BELIEVE. (St. Mark 16:16-18).
TRIBULATION- We believe that there is a period of tribulation coming upon the earth, such as the world has never known before nor will it know one like it ever after this period (St Matthew 24:21). It will be a time when the judgments of God will be upon the whole earth to punish sinners (Isaiah 13:9-12 and “them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thessalonians 1:8). By Old Testament examples we can see that whenever God punished the wicked for their iniquities, the righteous who found favor in His sight were delivered (Genesis 6:6-8; 7:1; 18:23-33; 19:22; Psalm 91:8); and since the Church is His “Purchased possession” (Acts 20:28), He will spare it “as a father spareth his own son that serveth him” (Malachi 3:17).
SECOND COMING OF CHRIST- We believe in the second coming of Christ, Jesus is coming to the earth again in person is a doctrine clearly set forth in Apostolic times. Jesus taught it; the Apostles preached it; and, the saints accepted it. Dr. Luke recorded the words of the angels, “Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11).
