This Doctrinal Statement is intended to summarize, but not comprehensively review, the basic doctrinal specifics emphasized by NewCovenant Evangelistic Ministries. We believe that the Christian faith is a progressive process, unique for every person, in which we all are at different points. NewCovenant Evangelistic Ministries is not ecclesiastically connected to the New Covenant denominations of churches, rather its historical and theological background is the Christian Churches/Churches of Christ/Disciples of Christ.

Concerning the Bible
    We believe that the original writings of both Old and New Testaments were breathed out by God to prophets, apostles, and apostolic associates by means of His Holy Spirit, who chose the words employed according to the personality and background of the human author, and that these writings were without error and are of supreme and final authority in the lives of believers in any age.

Concerning God
    We believe there is but one true God, who eternally exists as three distinct persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who exclusively share in the work of creation, maintenance of the universe, redemption and judgment.

Concerning Mankind and Human Need
    We believe that mankind was created in the image of God, but because of sin that image was damaged. All human beings are now born with a sinful nature, are unable to function in moral responsibility before God, and need a spiritual regeneration before they can become what they were meant to be.

Concerning the Son
   We believe that the Eternal Son entered the human race as the virgin-born son of Mary, was named Jesus, fulfilled Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah, was rejected by Jewish leaders, condemned by Pontius Pilate, crucified by the Romans, buried in a borrowed tomb, but on the third day arose bodily from the dead in accordance with the predictions of the Old Testament scriptures.

Concerning Redemption
    We believe that salvation is the gift of God to all who place their faith in His Son Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We believe Jesus Christ died upon the cross as a sinless substitute for sinners of all ages and times, and that the Father was thus, by means of His Holy Spirit, reconciling the world to Himself. All who accept the risen Jesus as personal Saviour and confess Him as Lord, by faith, are spiritually born into permanent membership in the family of God.

Concerning the Holy Spirit
    We believe that the resurrected Jesus ascended to heaven and on the day of Pentecost sent the Holy Spirit to indwell, guide, teach, and empower all who believe. By the Spirit's imparting to them the life of Jesus, they may live godly lives and engage in loving service to any who are in need.

Concerning the Church
    We believe that the Church consists of all who are being regenerated by the Spirit, and that it finds expression as local churches. It operates under the direction of Jesus as Lord and Head of His body, through elders, pastor-teachers, prophets, and evangelists, who equip the saints to fulfill the work of the ministry as described in the scriptures, and who lead believers into full salvation and perfection in Jesus Christ.

Concerning the Christian's Responsibility
    We believe that all believers are made new persons in Christ, through spiritual rebirth. We are still capable of acting on the urges of the sinful nature (the flesh) with which we once were identified. When we do so, we can produce only works which are not pleasing to God. We can choose, rather, to rely upon the Holy Spirit and His love living within us. This choice leads to a fruitful life that glorifies and pleases the Father.

Concerning the Future
    We believe that Jesus Christ will return to this earth in visible, human form; judging the evil of the world, calling the Church into eternal companionship with Himself, and recalling Israel, through judgment and cleansing, into fulfillment of the prophetic promises of a millennial kingdom on the earth. The prophetic predictions of the Kingdom describe both the present spiritual blessings upon the Church and the future literal establishment of this kingdom. It will conclude with a last resurgence of evil which will be totally and finally overcome by God, and the new heaven and earth will be created, in which righteousness alone shall eternally dwell.
    We believe that all human beings will be raised from the dead, at their proper time, to participate either in the eternal life prepared for those who have been redeemed, or to participate in the eternal punishment reserved for the devil and his angels.
