Article V   Statement of Fundamental Truths

  1. The Scriptures Inspired

The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct .

  1. The One True God

The one true God has revealed himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

  1. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.

  1. The Fall of Man

Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God

  1. The Salvation of Man

Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

a. Conditions to Salvation. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ.

b. The Evidences of Salvation. The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit. The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.

  1. The Ordinances of the Church

a. Baptism in Water. The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized.

b. Holy Communion. The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements–bread and the fruit of the vine–is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus; a memorial of His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming; and is enjoined on all believers "till He come!"

  1. The Baptism in the Holy Ghost

All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth.

  1. The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

The baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues ,  but different in purpose and use.

  1. Sanctification

Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God.  Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.

  1. The Church and Its Mission

The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her Great Commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven.

  1. The Ministry

A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the threefold purpose of leading the Church in: (1) evangelization of the world (2) worship of God, and (3) building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son.

  1. Divine Healing

Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the Atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

  1. The Blessed Hope

The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church.

  1. The Millennial Reign of Christ

The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for one thousand years.

  1. The Final Judgment

There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death

  1. The New Heavens and the New Earth

"We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness".

 

Article VI   Member Covenant

As a born again believer, confessing Jesus is Lord, and submitting myself to His Lordship, desiring to become a member of the A/G Riding Fellowship & Motorcycle Ministry Motorcycle Ministry, I sincerely enter into this covenant agreeing and committing to:

 A Christian walk where my behavior is a reflection of my relationship with Christ, praying daily, reading God’s Word, and attending church while adhering to our Statement of Fundamental Truths.

A Christian example knowing that when I wear A/GRFMM logos or participate in events, that the world is watching.  Therefore, I will refrain from any activity that would be other than what Jesus would do.

 A Servant’s heart not seeking my own but rather putting other’s needs first while being in submission to ministry leaders concerning ministry activities and functions.                      

Additionally, as an A/G Riding Fellowship & Motorcycle Ministry affiliate, I commit to:

Protect the ministry, our logo, and reputation by exhibiting Godly love as opposed to carnal pride.

Supporting the ministry by my involvement in events and financially through membership dues.
