The Mission of Gospel Volunteers, Inc. Essential Doctrines of the Christian Faith • To present the Biblical truths of Jesus Christ • Develop Christian leaders • Strengthen the faith of individuals and families • Promote global evangelism • We believe in the divine authority of the 66 books of the Bible alone. • We believe in one God, eternally existing in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. • We believe in the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ in one person with two distinct natures. • We believe that all mankind is lost eternally without Jesus Christ. • We believe in the substitutionary atonement as well as the physical bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven of Jesus Christ. • We believe the only way to Heaven is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, apart from any good works on our part. • We believe in the physical return of Jesus Christ and that everyone will spend eternity consciously and bodily in either Heaven or Hell.
