Our Confession

Rooted in Scripture. Centered on Christ.

The Lion of Judah Ministries holds these Statements of Faith as a concise declaration of the biblical truths that shape our worship, preaching, teaching, prayer, evangelism and ministry. The statements below preserve the ministry's doctrinal language, with additional Scripture references provided for study and reflection.

01

One Living and True God

We believe that there is one living and true God made up of three persons of one substance of eternal being, and equal in holiness, justice, wisdom, power, and dignity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 28:192 Corinthians 13:14Deuteronomy 6:4
02

Jesus Christ — God and Perfect Man

We believe that the Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the blessed virgin; and was born as Christ, who is both God and perfect man, who actually suffered, was crucified, dead, and buried, to reconcile the Father to us, and to make atonement for all of our sins.

John 1:1, 14Philippians 2:6-8Isaiah 53:4-61 Peter 2:24
03

The Resurrection, Ascension and Return of Christ

We believe that Christ rose rise again from the dead, and took again His body, with all things appertaining to the perfections of man's nature, and ascended into heaven and there sits until He shall return to judge all men at the last day.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4Acts 1:9-11Hebrews 1:32 Timothy 4:1
04

The Holy Ghost

We believe the Holy Ghost; proceeding from the Father and the Son is of one substance, majesty and glory with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God.

John 14:26John 15:26Acts 5:3-4
05

The Holy Scriptures

We believe in the inspiration of the Bible, composed of sixty-six books and divided into two segments, Old and New Testaments. The Bible is the Word of God, the full and complete revelation of the plan and history of redemption.

2 Timothy 3:16-172 Peter 1:20-21Psalm 119:105
06

Eternal Life and Final Judgment

We believe that eternal life with God in heaven is a portion of the reward of the finally righteous; and that everlasting banishment from the presence of the Lord and unending torture in hell are the wages of the persistently wicked.

Matthew 25:46Psalm 9:17Revelation 21:7-8John 5:28-29
07

Salvation Through the Blood of Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood for the remission of sins that are past, for the regeneration of penitent sinners, and for salvation from sin and from sinning.

Romans 3:251 John 3:5-10Ephesians 2:1-101 Peter 1:18-19
08

The Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire

We believe that the Pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of appropriating faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer, and the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.

Luke 11:13Acts 1:5Acts 2:1-4Acts 8:14-17Acts 10:44-46Acts 19:6
09

Divine Healing

We believe in divine healing as in the atonement.

Isaiah 53:4-5Matthew 8:16-17Mark 16:14-18James 5:14-16Exodus 15:26
10

The Second Coming of King Jesus

We believe in the imminent, personal, pre millennial second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and we wait for His appearing.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17Titus 2:132 Peter 3:1-4Matthew 24:29-442 Timothy 4:8Revelation 19:11-16Revelation 20:1-6
Our Messianic Hope

King Jesus, the Promised and Returning Messiah

LOJM confesses Jesus Christ — Yeshua HaMashiach — as the promised Messiah who came first in suffering and redemption and who will return in glory as the triumphant King. Our doctrine of the Second Coming is therefore not an appendix to our faith; it is part of the hope by which we live and minister.

One Messiah. Two Advents.

Christ Jesus came in His First Advent as the Suffering Messiah and will return in His Second Advent as the triumphant Messiah-King. We wait for His appearing in faith, patience and hope.

“Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

Our faith looks back to the finished work of Christ, lives by the power of the Holy Ghost in the present, and looks forward to the return of King Jesus.
