1 Peter 3:15-16 (New English Translation)
But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always
be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess. Yet do it with courtesy and respect, keeping a good conscience, so that those who slander your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame when they accuse you. (The NET Bible®, Copyright © 1996-2006

Statements of Faith
(What We Believe here at DAT Ministries)
- We believe that the Bible is the only inspired, collectively infallible and totally authoritative Word of God (1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Timothy 3:15-17 and 2 Peter 1:20-21) revealing the unconditional and never-ending love of God to the entire world (John 3:16).
- We believe that there is only one God (John 10:30 and Ephesians 4:4-6) who is infinitely perfect and eternally existent in three persons (the Trinity); the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19 and John 14:26).
- We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23), in His sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 4:15), in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection (Acts 2:22-24 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-4), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Romans 8:34) and in His imminent (Hebrews 10:37) pre-millennial (Luke 21:27) personal return or the Blessed Hope (Titus 2:13), i.e. the Second Coming (Acts 1:11), in power and glory (Hebrews 1:1-4).
- We believe that all men and women of the human race are lost (Romans 3:23) and face the judgment of God (2 Corinthians 5:10-11), that Jesus Christ is the only way for God’s plan of salvation (John 14:6, Acts 4:12 and Romans 10:9-15) and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man or woman, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration (the new birth of being born again) by the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:4-7). Furthermore, we believe that God will reward the righteous (those born again) with eternal life in heaven and that He will banish the unrighteous (those who remain lost) to everlasting eternal damnation by punishment in hell.
- We believe in water baptism by submersion as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 3:13-17).
- We believe in baptism of the Holy Spirit to empower the believer to further develop the character of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Acts 2:4).
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8), whose indwelling (Acts 4:31) enables the Christian to live a godly life (Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 2:14, Galatians 5:16-18 and Colossians 2:6-10).
- We believe in the manifestations of different gifts by the Holy Spirit. These gifts are relevant and in operation today within believers for the edification of others and the building up of His Church (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 and 1 Peter 4:10).
- We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to His authority over our lives and to the ministry of evangelism (Matthew 9:35-38, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8 and Colossians 2:6-10).
- We believe in divine healing of men and women by the Lord Jesus Christ through believers even in present times (Matthew 10:1, Acts 10:38 and James 5:14).
- We believe that God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to compliment and to complete one another and that in marriage they will become one that is inseparable (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5-6 and Mark 10:6-9). God instituted monogamous marriage between a male and a female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male to one genetic female. Any other union is against sound biblical teachings and shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Romans 1:26-27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
- We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural biological end and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our own (Psalms 139:13, Isaiah 49:1, Jeremiah 1:5, Romans 12:20-21 and Galatians 6:10).
- We believe in the resurrection of both the born again (the saved) and the lost whereas the saved destined to the resurrection of eternal life and the lost destined to the resurrection of eternal damnation and eternal punishment (1 Corinthians 15:51-57 and Revelation 20:11-15).
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12) and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church (1 Corinthians 12:27 and Ephesians 1:22-23).
- We believe that the ministry of eVangelism (sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation over the Internet) and discipleship (helping followers of Jesus Christ grow up into maturity in Jesus Christ) is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20 The Great Commission and 1 Peter 3:15).
