This teaching is true: if someone really wants to be a LEADER in the Church,

is desiring an excellent work." (1 Timothy 3:1 - NLH)

Ministry in such a way that they can contribute to the growth of the Kingdom of God among the
men, and for the edification of the Church - the Body of Christ (Eph 4:15,15).

Some, the biblical truth about God's purpose cannot be annulled.

The Church seen as an organism made up of members with functions (gifts) and
various needs, requires a creative administration that enables expression
of these functions, as well as strategies, where each need of that body of believers
can be supplied. With this, lost souls will have a valid opportunity to know
the plan of salvation.

 THE SERVANTWORKERANDTHE CALLTO
THE MINISTRY

2.1 - Types of Call -In all matters of the ministry, the first of all
The questions that are asked are whether the worker was really called by God to the ministry.
Many people have experienced 'spiritual chaos' because they became simply
professional workers

2.1.1 – Universal Call – There is a sense in which all believers are called
for the work, and this call is characterized by love for souls and by an intense spirit of
evangelization (Luke 19:10; Mark 15:16 and Romans 10:18).

2.1.2 – Specific Call – Certain people, however, are called and chosen by the
Lord to serve in a definite and striking way. Comparing the Church of the Lord to a
large army, it becomes necessary a variety of ministries, such as: pastors, evangelists,
missionaries, deacons, intercessors, supporters, teachers, ushers, visitors, leaders
and many others, all "workers" in the work of God.
Each believer has their work that is "determined by the Lord," and it is a privilege to receive.
the specific task given by the Lord (John 15:16; Ephesians 4:15,16);

2.1.3 - Varieties of ministries - Just as a body needs a variety of

members to function in harmony, the Church of the Lord, as one body, maintains the same
principle (Rm 10:15; 12:4-8; Ef 4:8,11; 1Tm 3 and Ex 31:6);

2.1.4 – False ministries – We conclude that there are people who choose the ministry
as a profession (Lv 10.1-3), to gain prestige (Nm 16.1-3), and for the simple pleasure of wanting
ser. (2Sm 18.22; Ez 3.3,6).

2.2 - Call Mode -How can someone know they are being called by
God for the ministry? How to avoid the mistake of Aimaás 'the runner' (2 Sam 18:19-33), Nadab and
Abiu? (Lev 10:1-2), How NOT to become a hindrance to others?

The divine call is characterized by the following aspects:

Spiritual concept - 1Co 2.14; Is 30.21

for discussion. We do not consider that it contains all the truths of the Bible, but that
encompasses the truths that this institution considers fundamental.

THE BIBLE -It is the Word of God in human language, sacred verbal inspiration
unchangeable, the only infallible rule of normative faith for life and the Christian character, (2 Tim 3:14-17; 2 Pet
1:20-21; 1Pt 1:25; Jn 17:17

GOD FATHER -There is one living and true God who is a personal spirit, eternal, infinite, and unchangeable;
He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent; He is perfect in holiness, justice, truth, and love. In
His Trinity, the eternal God reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, being three persons.
distinct but not divided in their essence.(Gen 1:1; Gen 1:26; Deut 6:4; 1John 5:7).

JESUS CHRISTHe became man, begotten by the Holy Spirit, born in a virginal way,
dying on the cross for our sins and rising on the third day, ascending to heaven
victorious form and is seated at the right hand of God. He is our advocate, our Lord and our
Savior. (Rev 1:8; Rev 22:12-13; 1 Cor 15:1-8; Isa 7:14; Rom 8:34; Acts 1:9)

HOLY SPIRITIt is the 'paraclete' of Christ, poured out upon Christians, being
from creation, it dwells in those who obey it. It was upon Jesus during his earthly journey
and grants to his servants, even today, for the edification, exhortation, and comfort of the Church, Gifts

the presence in the life of the Christian is the fruits produced by him. (Gen 1:2; Rom 8:26; Joel 2:28; Luke 11:13;
Mc 16:17; At 2:4; At 5:32; Co12:1-11,31; 1Co 14:40; Mt 7:16-20

DEVIL -We believe that Satan has already enjoyed celestial honors, but fell and dragged down
1/3 of the angels; he is the great tempter of man, the enemy of God, the accuser of the saints, however
is destined for final defeat at the hands of the Son of God and eternal justice in the lake of fire, place
prepared for him and his angels. (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:14-17; Revelation 12:9; Jude 6; 2 Peter 2:4; Ephesians 2:2; John
14:30; 1 Thessalonians 3:5; Matthew 4:1-3; Matthew 25:41.

MAN - He was created in the image and likeness of God, formed of body, soul, and spirit.
possessing free will and by his disobedience was cast out from the presence of God, becoming
to die physically and spiritually. (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Romans 6:23; Romans 3:23).

CHURCH -It is a local congregation of regenerated and baptized people through the
faith in Jesus Christ. It is also the universal gathering of the redeemed from all times, established
by Jesus Christ and built upon Him, constituting the spiritual body of the Lord, of which He
the same is the head. Its unity is of a spiritual nature and is expressed through fraternal love, by

24; Eph 1:22,23; 3:8-11; 4:1-16; 5:22-32; John 10:16; Rev 21:2,3

LEADERSHIP –We believe, biblically, in the universal priesthood of believers, of the free
exam of the Bible and, therefore, of the free access to God, through Jesus Christ. We reject the
sacerdotalism, sacramentalism, ritualism, and the human pretension to interpose between
God is great. We believe that the Lord provides men to lead/pastor His church, empowering them.
to preach and teach the Word, without mixing in error, without distortions, with faithfulness, dedication,
simplicity and clarity. (2 Timothy 4:2-4, Ephesians 4:11; 1 Corinthians 11:3).

SALVATION -It is the liberation from the yoke of sin and death, and the reestablishment of a
a deep relationship with God. It is granted by grace and through faith in Jesus Christ, it is not
obtained neither by personal merit nor by good works. God offers salvation, not just for life
present, but also for eternity, to all who accept and remain (until the end) in
Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. (Mk 13:13; Jn 15:2; Rom 6:18, 22-23; Eph 2:8-9; 1Pet 1:4; Rom
8:21-23).

SINBy missing the target and disobeying God, man passed on to his generation the
original sin, needing salvation, obtained through grace and by faith in the sacrifice
of Jesus Christ, the only way to reconnect man to God. (Romans 3:22-24,28; Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews
7:25;5:9; John 14:6.

BAPTISMWe believe in baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit, as an absolute necessity of the publication of your new birth by faith in
Christ is by the working power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, to make man worthy.
of the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 28:19; Jo 3:3-8).

THE LORD'S DINNER –As a memorial of death, resurrection, and second coming of
Christ, which must be ministered to all those who are part of the Body of Christ, through
from the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and from communion with the Local Church.
Moment of reflection, confession, and personal repentance of each Christian. (1Co 11:23-30)

Tithe -It is the Biblical practice of giving back to God a tenth of one's earnings.
tithe and offerings are ordinances of the old covenant; however, under the new covenant, they are a
voluntary expression of worship and submission. Giving the tithe is a sample of worship,
faith and love for God, who is the Source of salvation and Giver of all good things and of all
perfect gift.(Lv 27:30; Mt 23:23; Hb 7:4-14; 1 Cor 9:1-14)

LIFE CHRISTWe believe in the necessity and possibility we have to live a life
saint from the expiatory and redemptive work of Jesus at Calvary, through the regenerating power
the Sanctifier of the Holy Spirit, who enables us to live as faithful witnesses of the power of
Christ, through the separation of the world. Special attention to the weaker in faith, through the

intercession, exhortation, and above all, the ministry of the Word of God, the only instrument capable of
heal the body, soul, and spirit of man, through the confession of sins, repentance and
from the release of forgiveness to others. (2Co. 5:17, Jam 5:16; Heb 9:14; Gal 3:13-14; Jer 31:29-30; Ez 18:2;
Rm 14:1-2; 2Co 9:22; 1Pe 1:15-16.

FAMILY -The family, created by God for the good of man, is the first institution.
of society. Its foundation is the monogamous and lasting marriage, for life, which can only be
to be undone by death or by ongoing marital infidelity. The immediate purpose of the family
to glorify God and to provide for the satisfaction of human needs for communion, education,
companionship, safety, preservation of the species and also the perfect adjustment of
human person in all its dimensions. (Gn 1.27; 2.18-25; Js 24.15; 1Rs 2.1-3; MI2.15;
Me 10.7-9; 13.16; Ef 5.22-33; 6.1-4; CI3.18-35; 1Tm 3.4-8; Hb 13.4; 1Pe 3.1-7).

ETERNITY –We believe in eternal life for the saved and eternal torment thereafter.
final judgment for those who did not believe in God. (John 11:25-26; Revelation 20:11-15).

USAGE AND CUSTOMS - We believe that customs vary according to the people, race, language,
culture and time, therefore, should not be confused with immutable biblical doctrine. Making of the
observance of a custom as a condition for salvation makes the grace of God ineffective.
We do not observe Saturdays, festivals, and we do not abstain from food (except for
alcoholic beverages).(Col 2:20-23; Rom 14:6-10, 1 Tim 9-10; Mark 2:27; John 5:18; Col 2:16-18).

DONSWe believe in all the gifts described in the Holy Scriptures and poured out by
Holy Spirit over Christians, from the period of the Primitive Church to the present day. They must
be sought after, with diligence, and used for the edification, exhortation, and comfort of the Church. (1 Cor 14:1-
33).

This statement is supported by texts expressed in the Holy Bible, and everything that has been omitted.
we refer to the principles and precepts clearly expressed in the Scriptures.
