1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Christian Family Church Bible School
Christian Family Church Bible School (CFCBS) is one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing Bible Schools in South Africa today. CFC has run many different, informal training curriculums since 1984 and has now embarked on a three-year training program, in order to facilitate the training of individuals for their ministry. The focus is to establish a 1000 Bible Schools all over the world to teach the Word as taught by Pastors Theo and Beverley Wolmarans.
1.2 Mission of CFCI Bible School
2 Tim 2:2 “You have heard me teach many things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Teach these great truths to trustworthy people who are able to pass them on to others”
1.3 Apostolic Vision
Ps Theo’s vision and indeed the vision of this ministry is to establish Bible Schools around the world, focusing (initially) on Africa and the United States.
1.4 Statement of Faith
1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, in their original writing, as fully inspired of God and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three
Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the
Father, conceived by the Holy
Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
4. We believe that God created man in His own image
and that man sinned and thereby
incurred the penalty of sin, which is death (physically and
spiritually). Also that all human beings inherit a
sinful nature, which progressed (in the case of those
who reach moral responsibility) into actual transgression,
involving personal guilt.
5. With regard to sexual behavior, we believe in a
heterosexual relationship between a natural man and
a natural woman, within the confines of lawful matrimony.
Adherence to this stated principle of sexual behavior, is an inherent
requirement of membership of CHRISTIAN FAMILY CHURCH.
6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for
our sins, a substitutionary sacrifice, according to
the Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified
on the grounds of His shed blood.
7. We believe in the (bodily) resurrection of the
Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven and His present
life as our High Priest and Advocate.
8. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
9. We believe that all who repent of their sin and
receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born-again
of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of
God.
10. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit,
empowering and equipping believers for service, with
the accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit
and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the divinely
ordained ministries of the Apostle, Prophet, Teacher,
Pastor and Evangelist.
11. With regard to submission to authority, we believe
in the principle of having authority because you are
under authority. As such, it is understood that CHRISTIAN
FAMILY CHURCH membership shall be subject to submission
to authority in matters pertaining to church governance, doctrine
and personal behavior.
12. We believe in the resurrection of both the just
and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the
redeemed and the eternal banishment of those who have
rejected the offer of salvation.
13. We believe that the one, true Church is the whole
company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus
Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit and
that the local church on earth should form its character from this concept
of the Church spiritually and therefore that the new birth and personal
confession of Christ are essentials of church membership.
14. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed
two ordinances – Baptism in water and the Lord’s
Supper, to be observed as acts of obedience and as
perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian Faith,
that Baptism is the immersion of the believer in water, as a confession
of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection and that the
Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the emblems, symbolic of the Saviour’s
broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death,
until He comes.
15. We believe that divine healing was provided for
in the Old and New Testament and is an integral part
of the Gospel.
16. We believe that the Bible teaches that without
holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the
doctrine of sanctification as a definite, yet progressive
work of grace, commencing at the time of the new birth and continuing
until the consummation of salvation.
17. We believe in obeying the statement made by Jesus,
found in Matthew 28 verse 19-20 which is, “Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising
them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and
lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen
18. The fellowship is open to any further truth which
the Holy Spirit may illuminate from the Scriptures.
If I ever have a dispute with the church that cannot
be resolved through its own internal procedures, I
agree to resolve the dispute according to Biblical principals
such as those set forth in Matt. 5:23-25, 18:15-20 and 1 Corinthians
6:1-8 by submitting the matter to Christian Mediation and if then necessary,
to Christian Arbitration. Such mediators or arbitrators must be
in agreement with the Statement of Faith of this church
and its government. I understand that arbitration
is a legally binding process and that judgment upon
an arbitration award may be entered in any court, otherwise
having jurisdiction.
