Principles of First Love Ministry, Inc.

1. We believe the Holy Bible is the Word of God written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We believe the Word is inerrant, infallible, and noncontradictory. We believe the Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We believe in the “full gospel” of the Word. We believe the Word teaches Jesus is the only way and in Him is salvation, deliverance, provision, healing and soundness. We seek to be doers of the Word, and a focal point of our meetings is our singing the Word, learning the Word, and practicing the Word.

Psalm 119, 2nd Timothy 3:16, 2nd Peter 1:21

2. We believe the Lord has divinely set authorities over us. The primary earthly authority for many we work with is the parent. We do not usurp or violate this authority for any reason. We believe a young person should not come to our meetings or retreats against the wishes of parents. As a ministry, we submit to parental and spiritual authority.

Ephesians 6:4, Colossians 3:20, Exodus 20:12

3.      We believe in active participation in the local church. We also, recognize that we are a home church, ordained by God, where many of our participants choose to place their membership, but we also encourage our people to stay in their own churches and to have membership in, to pay tithes to, and to participate in the local, more traditional church body of their choice, if they so desire. We are not in competition with other local church bodies and desire to be a blessing to all Christ believing churches that preach the inerrant Word of God.

Hebrews 10:24-25

4. We believe in the power of prayer to change things.

2nd Chronicles 7:14-15, Psalms 72:15, Matthew 21:22, Acts 6:4

James5:15-16, 1st Peter 4:7, Revelation 5:8 and 8:3

5. We believe whosoever will may come and we welcome those of different races, cultures, backgrounds, denominations, and ages, and those with specific sin problems who genuinely want to be set free.

Romans 2:11, Luke 5:32, Romans 3:10
