RMC Ministries statement of faith: our core biblical foundation
Faith is at the heart of everything RMC Ministries does. From sharing the Gospel to supporting communities in South Sudan and Uganda, the ministry’s work is guided by its understanding of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The RMC Ministries Statement of Faith explains the Christian beliefs that shape its mission, including the authority of Scripture, the Trinity, salvation through Jesus Christ, the role of the Church, and Christian living.
These beliefs provide the spiritual foundation for RMC Ministries’ commitment to reaching people, teaching God’s Word, and serving communities in need.
What we believe about the Bible
RMC Ministries believes that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the ultimate authority for Christian faith and daily life.
The ministry recognizes the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as God’s complete written revelation to humanity. It affirms that Scripture was inspired by the Holy Spirit, is without error in its original writings, and provides a trustworthy foundation for understanding God’s character, His promises, and His purpose for humanity.
This belief in the authority and inerrancy of Scripture guides the ministry’s teaching, decisions, and activities. Whether through Christian education, radio broadcasts, or community outreach, RMC Ministries seeks to share biblical teachings faithfully and encourage people to apply them in their everyday lives.
God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit
At the center of the RMC Ministries Statement of Faith is the belief in one eternal God who exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
This Christian teaching, known as the Trinity, affirms that all three Persons are equally divine, eternal, and worthy of worship.
God the Father is the Creator and sovereign ruler of all things. He acts according to His wisdom, purpose, and grace, sustaining creation and guiding His plan for humanity.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is fully God and fully human. RMC Ministries believes that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, lived without sin, and willingly died on the cross to provide salvation for humanity. His bodily resurrection demonstrates His victory over sin and death. Today, He continues to be for believers their High Priest.
The Holy Spirit works in the lives of believers, bringing spiritual renewal, guiding their growth in faith, and assuring them of their salvation. Through the Holy Spirit, Christians receive the strength and spiritual gifts needed to follow Christ and serve others.
These beliefs shape the ministry’s understanding of God’s love, redemption, and ongoing work in the world.
Salvation through Jesus Christ
RMC Ministries teaches that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, made possible through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
According to the ministry’s beliefs, all people need redemption from sin, and salvation cannot be earned through good deeds or personal achievements. Instead, individuals are made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross.
This teaching is central to the Christian doctrine of justification: God forgives sin and accepts believers as righteous through Christ, not through their own works.
RMC Ministries also believes that the Gospel offers salvation freely to all people, calling each person to respond through repentance and faith.
When someone places their faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit brings new spiritual life, a process known as regeneration. This transformation becomes visible through a growing desire to follow God’s Word, turn away from sin, and live according to Christian teachings.
Spiritual growth, or sanctification, continues throughout a believer’s life. Through Bible study, prayer, self-examination, and obedience to God’s Word, Christians are encouraged to develop stronger faith and reflect the character of Jesus Christ in their daily actions.
For RMC Ministries, sharing this message of salvation is one of the central purposes of its work in South Sudan, Uganda, and beyond.
The church, spiritual gifts, and Christian ordinances
RMC Ministries believes that the Church is the Body of Christ, bringing together believers who are called to worship God, grow in faith, and share the Gospel.
The Church has a responsibility to teach biblical truth, make disciples, support fellow believers, and demonstrate God’s love through service to others.
According to the ministry’s teachings, Christians are called to glorify God through prayer, worship, generosity, preaching, and witnessing. The Church also has a responsibility to baptize believers, provide spiritual guidance, and encourage accountability within the Christian community.
RMC Ministries recognizes that the Holy Spirit gives believers different spiritual gifts to strengthen the Church and serve others. These include teaching, wisdom, faith, discernment, mercy, encouragement, generosity, leadership, and other forms of ministry. All spiritual gifts should be exercised with love, humility, and a commitment to building up the Body of Christ.
Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
RMC Ministries observes two Christian ordinances: water baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Water baptism is practiced through full immersion and symbolizes a believer’s identification with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It represents leaving behind an old way of life and beginning a new life in faith.
The Lord’s Supper, also known as Communion, uses bread and wine to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Believers are encouraged to participate with gratitude, reverence, and personal self-examination.
Through these practices, Christians publicly express their faith and remember the foundation of their relationship with God.
Christian living and biblical authority
RMC Ministries teaches that Christian faith should influence how believers live, make decisions, and treat other people.
The ministry encourages personal holiness, honesty, self-control, responsibility, and respect for others. These values are understood as expressions of obedience to God’s Word rather than ways of earning salvation.
Its Statement of Faith identifies practices it considers inconsistent with biblical teaching, including drunkenness, the consumption of alcoholic beverages, recreational drug use, sexual activity outside marriage, adultery, pornography, same-sex sexual activity, and sorcery.
These positions reflect RMC Ministries’ interpretation of Scripture and its commitment to the moral standards outlined in its doctrinal teachings.
Our beliefs about Christ’s return
The RMC Ministries Statement of Faith also explains the ministry’s beliefs about the future return of Jesus Christ and God’s final plan for humanity.
RMC Ministries holds a pre-tribulation, premillennial understanding of biblical prophecy.
According to this interpretation, Jesus Christ will gather believers to Himself in an event known as the rapture before a future period of tribulation.
The ministry believes that Christ will subsequently return visibly to earth with His saints and establish His millennial kingdom, a period of His reign described in biblical prophecy.
RMC Ministries also affirms the future resurrection of all people and the reality of eternal life and judgment. Those who are saved through faith in Jesus Christ will experience eternal life with God, while those who reject salvation will face eternal separation from Him.
These teachings reflect the ministry’s understanding of biblical prophecy and its belief in the certainty of Christ’s return.
