RUWEMI Beliefs

  1. We believe God eternally exists in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

We believe Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross for our sin and rose from the dead, and is coming back again (John 1:1–2, 14; Luke 1:35; Romans 3:24; 1 Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:3–5; Acts 1:9, 10; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 9:24; Romans 8:34; 1 John 2:1–2; 1 Peter 4:5; Romans 14:9; 2 Timothy 4:1).

  4. We believe in the receiving of the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46;15:8,9) and in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit which enables a believer to live a holy life. (Hebrews 12:14; Peter: 15,16).

  6. We believe that the only remedy for man’s sin is to receive, through faith, forgiveness provided through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8–10; John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18–19; 1 John 5 :10; Romans 10:13-15).
  7. We believe that God does hear and answer prayer, and in His ability to heal (John 15:7; 1 John 5:14, 15, Isaiah 53:4; Matthew 8:16, 17; James 5:13,14; Romans 12:1–8; 1 Corinthians 13; 1 Peter 4:10–11).
