Worldwide Pentecostal Fellowship - Articles of Faith

The articles of faith for WPF are now posted at:

http://www.worldwidepf.com/page.php?ID=29

I really think that they are very well done. It doesn't have as much room for personal interpretation, and I think that is a good thing.

1. Mission: The mission of the Church is to be the recipients of, and to carry the good news of Jesus Christ to the world (Matthew 28:19). This includes bringing to bear every acceptable resource to the accomplishing of these ends.


Except TV.....

Very interesting.

Why do you think that they omitted any reference to the new birth doctrine?

I would have expected a clear statement of the water and Spirit doctrine, which is strangely absent.

Some interesting quotes:

Quote:
The believer abstains from purveyors of all such, including, but not limited to, prurient print material, unclean musical acts and songs, and musical productions (I Corinthians 15:33), Hollywood-style movies, and television, worldly sports, improper internet content, and all other forms and mediums of such (Deuteronomy 7:26).
Quote:
To glory in men in any situation, whether religious, theatre, or sporting events, is a conflict with scripture.
Quote:
All artifice is viewed as obstruction to her authentic beauty and is to be avoided (I Timothy 2:9,10). Jewelry, (I Timothy 2:9), make-up, (II Kings 9:3) dyes, and any other artifice, as well as immodest apparel, are viewed as attempts to artificially induce beauty (Isaiah 3:16-24 RSV, I Peter 3:1-5) and replace the lost glow of God’s glory as seen in the face of the believer as well as in the heavens.
Quote:
I will further endeavor to prevent the abuse of the sanctity of my life and family by preventing such things access to my home and family. In exemplifying this commitment, and because of its overwhelmingly unacceptable nature, I will avoid soliciting television use for ministry or having television, or other Hollywood or Hollywood-type productions and movies in my home or elsewhere. I will further refrain from engaging in any other such unacceptable programs or materials via radio, internet or any other present or future technology. I will limit my use of all forms of communication technology to that which is, educational, business, or otherwise wholesome and edifying.
Quote:
iii. I will support the World Pentecostal Fellowship (WPF) as God prospers, with $60.00 per month dues contributed on a quarterly basis. This may come from my personal tithe, the remainder of which may also go to WPF or elsewhere in the work of God.
It's $720 per year to join!

Yep, it comes out of the minister's tithes. And they can also give the rest of their tithes to the assembly. Or another org. So then they have no more money I guess.
Or maybe they can keep the other 90%.
