Redemption Campaigners Mission also known as (Emancipation proclaimers Assembly) is a holiness Bible church proclaiming heart purity, love and self denial. It is a holiness church with Bible standards, Bible conviction and the TRUTH. Redemption Campaigners mission (Recamissio) is summarized thus!
We are committed to be holy, spiritual and to be obedient to God in all He commands and to be faithful in all our dealings with God and with men. OUR CHRISTIAN STANDARDS GOALS OF OUR CHURCH
We believe there is but one living and true God; everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness; the maker and preserver of all things visible and invisible; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, of one substance, power and eternity – the father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. (ii) GOD THE SON:We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God, the second person of the Triune Godhead; that he was eternally one with the father, that he conceived by the Holy Ghost, was born of the virgin Mary and became incarnate, so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the Godhead and manhood, are thus united in one person, very God and very man, the God – man. We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, and not only for actual sins, but also for original sin, that he might reconcile us to God. He arose form the dead and took again His body, together with all things appertaining to the perfection of man’s nature, wherewith He ascended into heaven and is there engaged in intercession for us. (Lk. 1:27- 35; Jn.1:14; 1Tim.3:16; Jn 3:16; Act 4:12; Rom 5:10; Heb.7:25; Heb. 1:8). (iii) GOD THE HOLY GHOST:We believe in the Holy Ghost, the third person of the Triune Godhead; that he proceeds from the father and the son as the true and eternal God, of one substance, majesty and glory with the father and son. (Mtt 28:19; Acts 5:3-4; Rom 8:9-11). He is ever present and efficiently active in and with the church of Christ, convincing the world of sin, regenerating those who repent all truth believe, sanctifying believers, and guiding into all truth as it is in Jesus. Jn 16:8: Jn 3:5-9); Acts 15; 8-9; John 16:13). (iv) THE HOLY SCRIPTURES:We believe that the sixty – six canonical books of the Old and New Testaments were given by divine inspiration (IITim. 3; 16), and are the words of God. We believe the Holy scriptures inerrantly reveal the will of God concerning all things necessary to our salvation, so that whatever is not contained therein nor may be proved thereby is not to be enjoined as an article of faith. (IIPeter. 1:20-21; Josh. 1:8; IITim. 3:15, 16; Rev 22:19). (v) THE ORIGINAL SIN:We believe that original sin, or depravity, is that corruption of the nature of all the offspring of Adam by reason of which everyone is very far gone from original righteousness or the pure state of our first parents at the time of their creation, is averse to God; without spiritual life, inclined to evil, and in that continually. (Gen 6:5; Rom 3:12; 5:13-18; ICor 15:22). In the scriptures it is spoken of as the carnal mind, the old man and flesh. (Rom. 7:7; Rom 6:6; Rom 8:5-8). We further believe that original sin continues to exist after regeneration though suppressed, until crucified (eradicated) and destroyed by the Baptism with the Holy Ghost. (Acts 15:8-9; I Jn 3:8). (vi) THE ATONEMENT:We believe that Jesus Christ, by His suffering (Acts 3:18) by the shedding of His own blood (Rom 5;8-10; Heb 9:12-14) And BY His meritorious death on the cross (Eph 2:13-16), MADE FULL ATONEMENT (Rom 5:11) for all sin, and that this atonement is the only ground of salvation. (Acts 4:12; Eph 1:7), it being sufficient for the salvation of the irresponsible, the righteous who have become responsible, (Rom 4;15) and children in innocency (Mark 10:14), but is of responsibility only if they repent and believe. (Luke 24:74 Acts 16:30-31; 17:30). (vii) FREE WILL:We believe that man was created with ability to choose between right and wrong, and thus, was made morally responsible. The condition of man since the fall is such that he cannot prepare himself by his own God. But the grace of God through Jesus Christ is freely bestowed upon all men, enabling all who turn from sin to righteous ness and believe in Jesus Christ for pardon and cleansing from sin which shall follow good works pleasing and accepting in His sight. Whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely” (Rev.22:17; Jn 4:14, 15; josh.24:15, Deut.30:19) We believe that living faith is the gift of God, and without it, it is impossible to please God, (Heb,11:6) faith become effective as it is exercised by man, with the aid of the spirit, which aid is assured when heart has met the divine condition. (Heb, 5:9) (ix) RepentanceWe believe that genuine repentance toward God consists in a knowledge of, and godly sorrow for, and voluntary confession and forsaking of sin. This is brought about by the knowledge of the goodness and severity of God, through the medium of the truth and the convincing power of the Holy Spirit. It is demanded of all who have by act or purpose become sinners against God. The spirit of God gives to all who will repent the gracious help of penitence of heart and hope of mercy that they may believe unto pardon and spirit life. Mtt. 3:2; Rom 3:23 11cor. 7:19; Jn. 16:7-11; Luke 13:5.) (x) RESTITUTIONWe believe in making restitution, that is restoring something to be its original state or to its proper owner after it was wrongfully acquired in former life of sin. This shows true repentance and proves that salvation is working in the heart. (xi) JUSTIFICATION, REGENERATION AND ADOPTIONWe believe that justification is that gracious and judicial act of God, by which he grants full pardon of all guilt and complete release form the penalty of sins committed, and acceptance as righteous to all who believe on Jesus Christ and receive Him as Lord and Saviour. (Rom 3:23-25, Rom 5:1). We believe that regeneration, or the new birth, is that gracious work of God whereby the moral nature of the repentant believer is spiritually quickened and given a distinctly spiritual life, capable of faith, love and obedience. (II Cor 5:17; I Pet 1:23). We believe that adoption is that gracious act of God by which the justification, regeneration, and adoption are simultaneous in the experience of seekers after God and are obtained upon the condition of faith in t he merits of the blood shed at Calvary and this work and state of grace which the Holy spirit bears witness. (xii) ENTIRE SANCTIFICATIONWe believe that entire sanctification is that act of God, subsequent to regeneration, by which believers are made free from original sin, or depravity, and brought into a state of entire devotement to God and the holy obedience of love made perfect. The witness of the spirit is that inward impression wrought on the soul, whereby the spirit of God immediately and directly assures our spirit that Bible conditions are met for salvation and the work of grace is complete in the soul. (Rom. 8:16) Therefore, the spirit bears witness to both the salvation of the sinner, and the sanctification of the believer (1John 5:10: Heb 10:14-15). (xiv) GROWTH IN GRACEWe believe that growth in grace is possible and necessary to maintain a right relationship with God, both before and after sanctification, (Eph. 4:15-16; II Peter 3; 18). THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will come again. We believe that His coming will be literal and bodily and that we who are alive at His coming shall not precede them that are asleep in Christ Jesus; but that, if we are abiding in Him, we shall be caught up with the risen saints to meet the Lord in the air, so that we shall ever be with the Lord.
The millennial reign should be viewed spiritually and not only lrterally (Rev, chap.3:- chap, 10:1-7). With this we are not denying the 1000 reign of Jesus ours is a general admonition to all Christians to keep themselves pure, blameless, and vigilant to be accepted into glory when Jesus comes. We believe in the resurrection of the dead that the bodies both of the just and of the unjust shall be raised to live and unite with their spirits. “They that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” ONE future judgment in which every man shall appear before God to be judged according to his deeds in the life. BAPTISM We believed that Christian Baptism is a sacrament signifying acceptance of he benefits of the atonement of Jesus Christ. It is to be administered to believers as declarative of their faith, in Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and full purpose of obedience in holiness and righteousness. THE LORD’S SUPPER We believed that the memorial and communion supperinstituted by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is essentially a New Testament sacrament, declarative of Hiss sacrificial death, through the merits of which believers have life and salvation and promise of all spiritual blessing in Christ, It is distinctively for those who are prepared for reverent appreciation of its significance and by it they show forth the Lord’s death till He comes again. Being the communion feast, only those who have faith in Christ, love for the saints, and are baptized should be called to participate therein. (Luke 22:10 20; Cor. 11; 23-29; Mtt 26; 26-29) THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH We recognize the first day of the week as begin the Christian Sabbath under present dispensation. It was the custom of the New Testament churches to meet for worship on the first day of the week. It was selected and held sacred because the lord himself was resurrected on that day he future emphasized it by pouring out the holy spirit on the day of Pentecost (I Cor. 16:2; Mtt. 28:1; Mark 16:2; Luke 24:1 John 20:1-19) DIVINE HEALING We believed in the bible doctrine that divine healing embodied in the Atonement (Is 53:4, 5; I Pet. 2:24, Matt. 8:17) and urge our people to seek to offer the prayer of faith for healing. God is still healing men and woman, while miracles continue. THE CHURCH The invisible church of God is composed of all spiritual regenerated persons whose names are written in heaven (Heb 12:23) World and compromise
Marriage We believe in the Bible doctrine of a Christian giving one – tenth of his income to God as contained in the Bible (Mal. 2:8-10) before the Mosaic Law, (Gen 14:18-20) and confirmed by Christ as worthy of practice, only by the save (Matt 23:23), and also taught by the disciples (II Cor. 16:1-3; Heb 7;2).
