Five Fold Ministries of Jesus Christ Mentorship Institute

DOCTRINAL STATEMENTS

WE affirm our belief in one God, infinite Spirit, creator, and sustainer maker of all things, who exists eternally in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three are one in essence but distinct in person and function. (1John 5:7)

WE affirm that the Father, our God, is Sovereign, Absolute, existed when nothing else existed, Immutable, is all Powerful, is all Knowing about all things, all Present and everywhere at all times; He is Holy, Perfect and Just and always Right; He is Self-existent, Eternal, and Beyond all limitations. He spoke and it was. He is Good, He is Love, He is Mercy and He is Grace. He is Infinite. He Is and Was and Is to come. God identifies himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Old Testament and He also describes himself as “I am.” By these two names, we know that God is both intimately personal and concerned with individual people he loves dearly and he is the most supreme being, even “being” itself. (Exodus 3:14-15)

WE affirm that the fullness of the Godhead bodily is expressed and manifested through Jesus the Christ, the Father’s only Begotten Son who died for us and the Holy One who has risen from the grave; He is our Propitiation who has satisfied the wrath of the Father for our sins by his death and shed Blood, and is the Lamb of God who taketh away our sins and has freed us from the clutches of Satan; He is the Bishop of our souls, our Redeemer, Our Savior by whom we have eternal life. By His stripes we are saved, healed, and set free. Through Him we are partakers of the New Covenant. He will return for us and we shall reign with Him forever because He has promised and prepared a place for us. The Lord Jesus Christ is the second person of the Godhead, eternally begotten from the Father. He is God. He was conceived by the virgin Mary through a miracle of the Holy Spirit. He lives forever as perfect God and perfect man: two distinct natures inseparably united in one person. (John 1:1-14)

We affirm that the Holy Spirit eternally proceeds and is generated from the Father sent to us by the Son and is equal in deity. He is the giver of life, designer of creation being active in the creating and ordering of the universe, the speaker of revelation, the great illuminator, our Comforter, our Teacher, our Intercessor, our Gift-Giver and our Fruit-Giver. He is both Ruach, the Divine Force, quality, and influence of God in the universe and He is Dunamis, the power of God that He has given us who believe to live on the inside to give us the power to live pure, holy, and devotional lives. He is the agent of inspiration and the new birth; He restrains sin and Satan; and He indwells and sanctifies all believers. (Romans 8:9-17).  Through His baptism we are made witnesses for Christ and endued with power to accomplish the works Christ has called us to in the earth. (Matthew 28:18-20)

We affirm that all things were created by God. Angels were created as ministering agents, though some, under the leadership of Satan, fell from their sinless state to become agents of evil. The universe was created in six historical days and is continuously sustained by God; thus it both reflects His glory and reveals His truth. Human beings were directly created, not evolved, in the very image of God. As reasoning moral agents, they are responsible under God for understanding and governing themselves and the world. (Genesis 1:26-29; 2:15-17)

We affirm that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, though written by men, was supernaturally inspired by God so that all its words are the written true revelation of God; it is therefore inerrant in the originals and authoritative in all matters. It is to be understood by all through the illumination of the Holy Spirit, its meaning determined by the historical, grammatical, and literary use of the author’s language, comparing Scripture. The Bible is not the full mind of God but it holds within its 66 chapters everything the believer needs to mature in Christ and to live a holy life. (1Peter 1:21)

We affirm that Adam, the first man, willfully disobeyed God, bringing sin and death into the world. As a result, all persons are sinners from conception, which is evidenced in their willful acts of sin; and they are therefore subject to eternal punishment, under the just condemnation of a Holy God. (Romans 5:1-11)

We affirm that Jesus Christ offered Himself as a sacrifice by the appointment of the Father. He fulfilled the demands of God by His obedient life, died on the cross in full substitution and payment for the sins of all, was buried, and on the third day He arose physically and bodily from the dead. He ascended into heaven where He now intercedes for all believers. (Romans 8:34, Hebrews 5:5-10, Hebrews 7:25)

We affirm that each person can be saved only through the work of Jesus Christ, through repentance of sin and by faith alone in Him as Savior. The believer is declared righteous, born again by the Holy Spirit, turned from sin, and assured of heaven. (Romans 10:9-11; Psalms 51:5)

We affirm that the Holy Spirit indwells all who are born again, conforming them to the likeness of Jesus Christ. This is a process completed only in Heaven. Every believer is responsible to live in obedience to the Word of God in separation from sin. (Ephesians 4:13)

We affirm that a church is a local assembly of baptized believers in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, under the discipline of the Word of God under the Lordship and Authority of Christ; infilled by the Holy Spirit with His power to be witnesses throughout the earth, commanded by Jesus Christ to carry out the great commission to evangelize and to teach the doctrine of the Apostles as we lift up His Name, and make disciples of all men, for the building up of the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 28:1-20)

WE affirm that the local church is an individual entity that is uniquely and strategically positioned by God, and is a vital and integral part of the Body of Christ with One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism; united in the Spirit and fitly joined together as the Body of Christ. The church is commanded to administer the ordinances of believer’s outward and public baptism by water and the Lord’s Holy Communion, remembering Him until He returns. She is to be a place of fellowship and encouragement, teaching and spiritual growth equipping the believer for the greater works of Jesus Christ. (Acts 4:31-35; 1Corinthians 11:23-34))

WE affirm that Christ ascended on high and gave gifts to the church - Ephesians 4:11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. The church is self-governing. The church functions through the ministry of gifts given by the Holy Spirit to each believer. The offices of the local church are Bishop (Overseers), Elder (aged and wise) and Deacon (assist in ministry duties pertaining to the Pastor or Elder and are capable of teaching the people) (1Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:5)

We affirm that the return of Christ for all believers is imminent. It will be followed by seven years of great tribulation, and then the coming of Christ to establish His earthly kingdom for a thousand years. The unsaved will then be raised and judged according to their works and separated forever from God in hell. The saved, having been raised, will live forever in heaven in fellowship with God. (1Thessalonians 4:16-17; Daniel 9:24; Revelation 20:4-6; 12-15 )

Guiding Principles

WE are the no longer like the high priest in our ministry bringing the people to God but rather we are the prophetic bringing God to the people because Jesus is our High Priest.

WE wholeheartedly strive to know God, the infinite source of all things, through the Spirit of Truth as He reveals Himself in scripture, nature, history, and above all, in Christ.

WE acknowledge The Holy Spirit as our Teacher in all things and the Holy Scripture as the absolute Word of God with Jesus being the full embodiment of the Word.

WE acknowledge that we are spiritual, rational, moral, social, and physical, created in the image of God. We are, therefore, able to know and to value ourselves and other persons, the universe, and God.

WE believe that education as the process of teaching and learning, involves the whole person, by developing the knowledge, values, and skills which enable each individual to change freely. Thus it occurs most effectively when both instructor and student are properly related to God and each other through Christ.

WE function as God’s chosen vessels known, ordained and sanctified by God from before we were in the mother’s belly, and must be taught and mentored in order to make impactful contributions to our local church, community, workplace and the Body of Christ at-large.

WE walk in our chosen vocations as ones who have answered the calling of God on our lives as builders of God’s Kingdom fostering the Spirit of Love, Peace and Unity among mankind.

WE are the change agents in the earth who Christ has called to go out even unto the uttermost parts of the earth as Missionaries and Ambassadors fulling the Great Commission while proclaiming His Wonderful Name so that whosoever will come to Christ will be without excuse to know Him.

WE encourage a commitment to the Christian life that will lead people to Jesus Christ as the Lord of the universe and their own personal Savior by our displaying personal integrity, sensitivity to the needs of others, social responsibility and active promulgation of the Gospel, Christian faith, and the Holy Scriptures.

Official Institute Logo

Symbolism of the Logo

The Institute Logo is both unique and expressive speaking to who we are in Christ as His disciples sent out to evangelize the world going after the one lost soul and leaving no one behind while being well equipped through God’s Holy Word to do the work of ministry. The Logo speaks to how we want others to know us both in and outside the Kingdom of God as well studied and educated in the things of God and yet humble and caring toward mankind. Our mission — Mentoring the Five Fold Ministry gifts in accordance with Ephesians 4:11-13 — remains the same. This mission is integral to our unique identity as mentors and teachers, and to maintaining the integrity of our Institute throughout the years to come as we increase in spiritual achievement, significance and influence in the earth. Each component of the logo has been carefully chosen and incorporated to reflect the mandate of No Soul Left Behind Ministries, Inc. to win all souls to Christ and its inextricable oneness with the Institute vision of equipping the Five Fold ministry gifts to do the work of ministry through sound teaching of the Doctrines of the Bible.
