The programs and activities of The Fathers House International, Inc. shall be based upon, and at all times shall be consistent with, the following beliefs:
1. The Bible is the mind of Christ, and is the inspired, the only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
2. There is one God manifested in three personalities: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. The reality of Satan and his present control over unregenerate man does exist.
4. Christianity is based upon the following:
a. The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ
b. His sinless life
c. His miracles
d. His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood
e. His bodily resurrection
f. His ascension to the right hand of the Father.
g. His personal return in power and glory as Lord of Lords and King of Kings
h. The fall of man and his lost estate, which makes necessary a rebirth through confession and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ
i. The reconciliation of man to God by the substitutionary death and shed blood of Jesus Christ
j. The resurrection of believers unto everlasting life and blessing in Heaven, and the resurrection of unbelievers unto everlasting punishment in the torments of Hell
k. The supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit, who bestows the spiritual gifts of the word of wisdom; the word of knowledge; faith; gifts of healing; working of miracles; prophecy; discerning of spirits; various kinds of tongues; and the interpretation of tongues; in and among believers on the earth since the day of Pentecost and continuing until our Lord’s return
5. This church is built by the Lord Jesus Christ, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.
6. All power and authority have been given to this Church by the Lord Jesus Christ, and this Church believes in and acts upon the uncompromising Word of God.
7. Marriage and Sexuality
7.1 This Church believes that God created and sanctioned marriage to bring together biological men and women, the complementary halves of humanity, by joining them in union as “one-flesh.” (Gen. 2:18-25)
7.2 Marriage between one man and one woman for life uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His Church. (Eph. 5:21-33)
7.3 Marriage also serves as the foundational unit of a stable society and provides the best chance that children will grow up in the same home with both their mother and their father. (1 Cor. 7:2)
7.4 Sexuality: This church believes that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as either male or female, and these two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen. 1:26- 27) Those individuals that reject their biological sex and, relying on the gender identity theory, claim to be the opposite sex are of sin and reject God’s creative design for their lives.
8. Religious Exemptions to Vaccines
8.1 This church believes that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we exist as that temple. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) The Bible clearly states that we are temples, and that we are to keep our temples clean and free of all impurities. We are to “obey God rather that men.” (Acts 5:29) Vaccines are an injection of toxic chemicals and foreign proteins into the body, and this is a direct violation of God’s directive to keep the temple holy. Because of this belief, we believe in the religious exception provision in the statute which allows our members to be exempt from vaccination if it contradicts our sincere religious beliefs herein.
8.2 RFIDs, Human Implant Tracking, Chip or Device. This church believes that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we exist as that temple. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20); 1 Corinthians 3:17) The Bible clearly states that we are temples, and that we are to keep our temples clean and free of all impurities. We are to “obey God rather that men.” (Acts 5:29) This church believes that God does not physically mark believers; we are sealed with the Holy Spirit which is invisible and internal. (Revelation 13:14-18)
