Online
Resources for Evangelistic Christians WorldwideUKGM.org seeks to encourage Christians of all sorts to witness and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In all things, we seek to glorify God. Across this site, you will find many contacts and links to other ministries and sites. Inevitably, neither you nor we will agree with every part of everyone else's theology. Our policy in linking to others is to cross the artificial barriers created by denominationalism and encourage all Born-Again Christians in our common task; the preaching of the Gospel.
We cannot be held accountable for the many doctrinal variations amongst brothers and sisters in Christ. There are many excellen sites that deal with apologetics and the exposure of apostate and aberrant ministries. Of course, there are some sites and ministries that would receive an obvious thumbs-down from us, but hopefully, you would not find them linked from here. This site is aimed at the encouragement of the saints in carrying out Christ's commission to preach the gospel to the whole of creation. We do not, within the scope of this site, get involved in the great debates such as predestination, millennialism or variant forms of legalism. We are aware of the importance of these things, but it is not the purpose of this ministry to foster division amongst the saints, rather to encourage unity of purpose in the preaching the Gospel.
The Word
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come
.
The Mission
Mark 16:15
And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
There is only one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
The
Holy Bible is inspired by God and
is
the only infallible, authoritative
Word of God that has been given to man.
God's Word will never
change. The bible used for all quotations on this site is
the Authorised (King
James) Version, first translated from original manuscripts in
1611
and finally revised in 1769.
This is the Bible that has been dearly bought by the blood of the
saints and
martyrs and is the Bible
that the Lord has continually blessed throughout the 400 years of its
use. Unlike modern translations, it carries no copyright other than
"Royal Warrant". There are no restrictions on its reproduction so it is
used extensively as our common translation.
God, our Heavenly Father,
created the
entire universe by His Word, in a literal six day
period. All animal
and plant kinds were created distinct from one another and, in spite of
the vain imaginings of mankind, are not subject to evolution from one
species to another.
Jesus
Christ is both God and Lord.
He was born of a virgin.
He
lived a
sinless life. The Bible is an
accurate record of the miracles that He performed during His sojourn on
earth. When He died on the cross, He died in our place as our
substitute and took the full penalty for our sins. Through His shed
blood, bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of God the
Father, we have the assurance of eternal life. Only through faith in
Christ can we approach the Father and there is no other name under
Heaven whereby we may be saved. At a time known only to
the Father in Heaven, Jesus will personally return in glory to judge
both the living and the dead.
Man
was created in the image of God.
Man
was tempted by Satan
and fell, and because of the exceeding sinfulness of human
nature, regeneration by the repentance and faith in Jesus Christ is
absolutely necessary for salvation.
Regeneration (being born
again,) is possible only
through (1) recognizing and repenting of your personal sinful state and
total depravity,
(2) faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ as the
complete payment for man's sin debt, and (3) surrendering, by faith, to
Jesus
Christ
as Saviour and Lord.
The
Holy Ghost is present in the church and the
life
of the individual. By His indwelling, the
Christian is enabled to live a godly life. The Holy Ghost, sometimes
referred to as The Holy Spirit, is the third person of the Godhead and
is co-equal and co-eternal with the God, the Father and Jesus, the Son.
The Church is empowered to carry out Christ's Great Commission only by the authority of the Father through the death and resurrection of the Son, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
Both the saved and the lost will be resurrected at the last day; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
It is the task of every Christian to bear
witness to the saving Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our purpose in
the world is to preach Him to all as a response to His sacrifice for us.
The above statement of faith is neither exhaustive nor is it a complete creed, but simply a statement of the core faith and Christian values of those engaged in this ministry. The Christian needs no "creed" if he believes the Word of God. The Scriptures are all-sufficient for this task.
II
Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is given
by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may
be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works
