The Sure Foundation was
established in 1977 with a vision to rapidly equip believers in Christ,
who are in a state of strong desire and fire for their call. We were
compelled to produce programs that were condensed and highly compressed
into the essential core doctrines and truths of the Scriptures and
remove the extraneous, non-essential doctrine and dogma of institutional
religion. The programs were created to chronologically and sequentially
carry the believer on a journey with clear and concise rapidity, that
strategically instills a high level of absorption and retention of
illuminated truths. We are confident, you will experience a dynamic
increase in your vision and foundation of the embodiment of your
ministry for the Lord

Statement of Faith
We
believe in, and live by,
God the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ,
His Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Ghost
through the Word of God and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified dead and buried.
He descended into Hell and He stripped Satan of his power.
Upon the third day He rose again and
ascended into Heaven
where He is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
We believe in the Holy Ghost,
the worldwide body of Christ (His Church),
the forgiveness of all sins,
the resurrection of the dead, the communion
of the saints, and life everlasting. We believe that through a profession
of
faith (trust) in the shed blood of Jesus Christ,
His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension;
one may become a partaker of
their inheritance in Him.
1.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God written by holy men as
they were instructed by God. It is the inherent Word of God (11 Tim
3:16).
2. We believe that Man was created good and upright, for
God said, “Let us
make man in Our own image, after Our likeness.” But man, voluntarily
transgressed
against God, and God has provided man with his only hope
of
salvation and
redemption which is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God
(Gen. 1:26-31, 3:17, Rom. 5:12-21).
3.
We believe that Jesus came as a man, was born of a virgin, and His father is
God. We believe that Jesus was born without the inherited sin of
Adam and,
during his entire life, committed no sin. Jesus was the eternal Father
made
visible,
apart from whom there is no God
(I Tim. 3:16, John 10:30, Is.
9:6,
Luke 2:11, Rev. 1:8).
4.
We believe in the personal salvation of believers through the confession
of
sins, recognizing that Jesus Christ is the substitute for our sins,
through His shed
blood. It is by the grace of God, through faith in
Jesus Christ
and His shed blood,
that we become an heir of God (Rom. 10:9,10, 1
John 1:9, Eph. 2:8,9).
5. We believe that the New Birth is a direct witness of
the Spirit and is an
inward
confession of Jesus Christ (Rom 8:16). We believe that
following
salvation through
Jesus Christ you should be baptized...as commanded
by the
Lord Jesus. This
was the last command He left His apostles.
“Go ye
therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them, in the name of the
Father,
and the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost.” (Matt. 28:19) Mark 16:16 reads,
“He
that believeth, and is baptized,
shall be saved...”
6. We believe in divine healing through faith and that
healing is a benefit
of the atonement.
7.
We believe in the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit and that these gifts are given
throughout the Body of Christ and are in operation today (I Cor.
12).
8. We believe in the imminent return, second coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ
for His Church (His bride).
9. We believe that there is a heaven and a hell. Heaven
is a place of
eternal
rest for the righteous (those who have accepted Jesus Christ
as
atonement for their sins) and hell is a place of eternal damnation for
the
unrighteous (those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and
savior)
(Matt. 28:19, Mark 16:16).
10. We believe in the millennial reign of Jesus – the
revelation of the Lord
Jesus
Christ from heaven, and the millennial reign of Christ and His
followers on earth
(11 Thes. 1:7, Rom. 11:26,27, Rev. 20:1-7).
11.
We believe in the Great Commission – to minister God’s saving
grace and to
reach out to the poor and lost in spirit
(Mark 16:15). And foremost, to
honor and
obey God’s command, “take the gospel into all the
world.”
