CORE BELIEF SYSTEM for Fire4Prodigals
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
- The Inspired Word of God
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Application for Ministry: The Word is our guide for healing, discipleship, and lasting transformation. We believe true freedom comes by renewing the mind with truth.
- The Trinity
We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Application: The Father welcomes prodigals, the Son redeems them, and the Spirit empowers them for new life.
- Salvation through Jesus Christ
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection provide the only way to be forgiven and restored to God (Romans 10:9-10, John 14:6).
Application: No one is too far gone. In Christ, addicts can be made whole, and prodigals can come home.
- Sanctification and Holiness
We believe sanctification is both a definite, instantaneous work of grace and a progressive lifelong journey, setting believers apart for God’s purposes (1 Thessalonians 4:3, Hebrews 12:14).
Application: Recovery is not just physical but spiritual. Sanctification means freedom from sin’s power, not just its consequences.
- The Baptism and Power of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a separate and distinct experience after salvation, empowering believers with gifts and boldness for victorious living (Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4).
Application: Addicts don’t just need sobriety they need power. The Holy Spirit equips broken people to walk in strength and purpose.
- Divine Healing
We believe divine healing is provided in the atonement of Christ and is available to all believers (Isaiah 53:5, James 5:14-15).
Application: God heals not only bodies but minds, emotions, and trauma. Our ministry believes in holistic healing through Christ.
- The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ and the family of God, called to disciple, restore, and love one another (Ephesians 4:11-13).
Application: Our ministry is not a program, it’s a spiritual family where wounded people are discipled, loved, and restored.
- The Return of Christ
We believe in the personal, imminent return of Jesus Christ for His Church and in the final judgment (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Revelation 20:11-15).
Application: We live and labor with urgency. There is hope for every soul until Jesus returns.
- Identity in Christ
We believe that every believer is a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), no longer defined by past failures, addictions, or labels.
Application: We speak life and identity over every person, you are not your addiction, your past, or your mistakes. You are a child of God.
- Restoration and Reconciliation
We believe God is in the business of restoring what was lost and reconciling people to Himself and others (Joel 2:25, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20).
Application: Our mission is to see the chains of addiction broken, families restored, and prodigals returned to their Father.
