Doctrinal Policy & Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith

Philippine Source of Light is orthodox in theology and evangelistic in practice, believing in:

The plenary and verbal inspiration of the Bible and its inerrancy as God's Holy Word,
The Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; three Persons in one essence in the unity of the Godhead,
The creation of man by the direct act of God and man's subsequent fall as revealed in the Genesis account,
The Deity, Incarnation, Virgin Birth and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ our Lord; His substitutionary death on the cross as the atonement for man's sin; His bodily resurrection from the tomb; His ascension into Heaven to sit at the Father's right hand; the imminent rapture of the Church, and the personal, visible and pre-millennial return of Christ in power and great glory,
The power of Christ to save men eternally from the penalty of sin through faith in His shed blood, and the gift of eternal life by the grace of God,
The new birth of all who believe in Him through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit,
The sanctification of the believer by the Holy Spirit through the Word
The final judgment of the wicked and Satan's doom with the wicked in the lake of fire, and
The eternal happiness of the righteous in the presence of the Lord, and the ushering in of eternal righteousness in the new Heaven and the new earth.

Our Stand of Doctrines and Issues

Source of Light- Ministries is a worldwide evangelistic, faith mission, grounded on and limited by the Word of God. It is in His Word that we find our authority for what we believe, and it is the basis for our posit:on on separation.

Due to present day movements, which we believe are divisive and detrimental to the cause of Christ, we affirm our consistent stand and, for the sake of clarity, amplify our doctrinal position in these areas.

Therefore, to be true to its calling of God, Source of Light Ministries does not accept as missionary personnel anyone who holds contrary views to its doctrinal standards.

CLARiFICATION AND AMPLiFICATION

Where Philippine Source of Light stands on issues of the day:

Biblical inerrancy

Source of Light Ministries has always held, and still does today, to the inerrancy of the sixty-six books of the Bible, and that in the original manuscripts, each book was infallible and inerrant in all its parts. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 4:3-4; 2 Peter 1:19-20.

Cooperative Evangelism

Source of Light Ministries determines its relationship with such efforts by the composition of the committees set up to manage the campaign. If it is inclusive, using both liberals and conservatives, then we would decline to participate. 2 Corinthians 6: 14; 7: 1; Ephesians 5: 11.

TONGUES MOVEMENT

Source of Light Ministries is in a􀁑reement with those who teach that the Holy Spirit indwells all Christians and that their bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit. We do not agree with th􀁙se who hold that the Scriptures teach that speaking in tongues is the indispensable evidence of the infilling of the Holy Spirit. In stating our position, we do not mean to detract from the sincerity or Christian character of those who hold this teaching; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 6:19; Ephesians 5:18.

THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT

This movement places primary emphasis on uniting churches on a basis other than Biblically sound doctrine and is another indication of the end of the age. Therefore, Source of Light Ministries abstains from all associations that would link it with this movement. 2 Corinthians 6:14-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Revelation 18:1-4; 2 Chronicles 19:2.

SEPARATION

Source of Light Ministries emphasizes the Bible teaching that Christians should be separated from sin and ungodliness, from the world, from believers who walk disorderly, from those who teach false doctrine, and from those who deny the faith. 2 Corinthians 6:14; 7:1; 2 John 9-11; Ezekiel 44:2b; 1 John 2: 15-17; Romans 12:2; 1 Corinthians 5:9-13.

THE LOCAL CHURCH

Source of Light Ministries believes in the scriptural importance of each local church. Our purpose is to assist the local church in its outreach to lost souls and in its training of believers to serve the Lord and to be good students of the Word of God. 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; 2 Timothy 2:2, 15; Acts 2:41-46; 1 Timothy 3:15.

THE LORD'S RETURN

Source of Light Ministries teaches the imminent, bodily, pre-tribulation rapture of the church, which is His Body (John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) and His personal, visible return in glory with His saints (1 Thessalonians 3:13; Matthew 24:30) to reign as KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 2 Thessalonians 1 :8-10; Revelation 1 :5-7; Isaiah 11 :4-9; 63:1-6.

THE ASSURANCE OF THE BELIEVER

Source of Light Ministries believes that the Scripture assures the truly born again one that his salvation is eternal (John 5:24) and that nothing can separate him from his union with Christ.

Romans 8:38-39; John 3:16; 6:47; 10:9; Romans 5:9; 8:31; 1 Corinthians 3:15; 1 John 5: 12; Jude 24.

THE PERSON AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Source of Light Ministries believes and teaches that the Holy Spirit, at the instant of regeneration, baptizes the new believer into the "Body of Christ," which is the Church of the Living God (1 Corinthians 12:12). We further believe that only as the Holy Spirit controls and works through the believer can he be made pleasing to God and minister effectively for Him.
