YouthWorld Statement of Faith

It is to be noted that no grouping of words can fully express all that might be said as to our convictions and doctrinal position.  However, as a general and comprehensive combination of the principal factors for which Youth World International stands, the following expresses our statement of faith.

  1. THE TRINITY
    We believe in one God, existing in a trinity of persons:  Father, Son and Holy Spirit (John 15:26), who are eternal and of equal dignity and power (Matthew 3:16,17).

  2. THE BIBLE
    We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, verbally inspired and without error as originally written, and that it is the only infallible rule of faith and practice for the Christian (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21).

  3. THE PLAN OF SALVATION
    We believe in Jesus  Christ, conceived of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20) born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:35), whose death on the cross for the redemption of sinners provided a sufficient and complete propitiation for their guilt (Ephesians 1:7), and who rose again for our justification (Romans 4:25), ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for all those who come unto God by Him (Hebrews 7:25).  We wait for the "blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13), and we believe that all things shall finally be subjected to God through Him (1 Corinthians 15:25-28).

  4. THE CHURCH
    We believe that the true church, which is the  body of Christ (Ephesians 1:23), is formed by the work of the Holy Spirit in all those who trust Christ as their Savior (Ephesians 2:22, 1 Corinthians 12:13).

  5. THE CHRISTIAN'S MINISTRY
    In view of Christ's last command (Matthew 28:19,20) and recognizing the lost condition of all those who fail to accept the gospel message (John 3:18,36), we believe in the urgency of every Christian's responding to the Great Commission of Christ.  "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever  believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"  (John 3:16)
