Statement of Faith
We believe in the Bible, as the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God, without error in the original manuscripts. (2 Tim 3:16)We believe in the triune Godhead in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, executing distinct but harmonious offices in the works of creation, providence, and redemption. (Mark 12:29) (Hebrews 1:1-3)
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, death, bodily resurrection, present exaltation at the Father's right hand, and His coming again. (Luke 1:30-35) (John 1:29) (John 20:20) (Ephesians 1:22-23) (Philippians 3:20)
We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit, convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and regenerating, baptizing, sealing, and indwelling all true believers. (John 14:16-17) (John 16:7-15)
We believe in the personality of Satan and his present control over unregenerate man. (Ephesians 2:2) (Job 1:6-7)
We believe in the fallen and lost state of man, whose total depravity makes necessary his new birth. (1 Timothy 5:6) (Romans 3:10-19)
We believe in the reconciliation of man to God through faith in the substitutionary death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Savior. (John 5:24) (Acts 13:39) (Romans 5:1) (1 John 4:17)
We believe in the resurrection of the saved unto everlasting life and blessedness in Heaven, and the resurrection of the unsaved unto everlasting punishment in Hell. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9)
We believe in the Church, the indivisible Body of Christ, bound together by the Holy Spirit, consisting only of those who are born again, for whom He now makes intercession in Heaven, and for whom He shall come again. (Matthew 16:16-18) (Acts 2:42-47) (1 Corinthians 12:13)
We believe in Christ's great commission to the Church to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, baptizing and teaching those who believe. (Matthew 28:18-19)
After prayer and consideration the leadership of YUGO ministries has decided not to address in this doctrinal statement, various divisive doctrinal issues within the Evangelical community of believers. Our goal in doing this is to “dwell in unity” (Psalm 133:1) with our brothers in the Body of Christ while never compromising the Gospel. (Romans 1:16)
