A Church Without Doctrinal Stand Is A Slaughter House

Baptism in the Name of Jesus: A Scriptural Mandate

At Voice of the Bride Ministry, we follow the apostolic example of baptism as recorded in the Book of Acts. Peter declared in Acts 2:38, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.’ This command underscores the necessity of baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, contrasting with the later Trinitarian formula that emerged from church traditions. We reject the baptismal titles of ‘Father, Son, and Holy Ghost’ as they are not explicitly instructed in Scripture, and instead, we adhere to the biblical practice of invoking the name of Jesus in baptism, which carries the authority and power for the remission of sins.

The Authority of Scripture: Rejecting Man-Made Traditions

Voice of the Bride Ministry is unwavering in its commitment to the absolute authority of Scripture. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, sufficient for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). We reject any teachings, practices, or traditions that are not explicitly rooted in Scripture, understanding that ‘the traditions of men’ often lead to a departure from the truth (Mark 7:8). Our ministry stands as a beacon of biblical truth, calling believers back to the simplicity and purity of the Gospel as it was originally given, free from the corruptions of human innovation.

The Oneness of God: Understanding the Apostolic Doctrine

In a world filled with diverse interpretations of God’s nature, the Voice of the Bride Ministry firmly stands on the biblical truth of the oneness of God. The apostles taught that God is one, not three, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:4: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.’ This doctrine rejects the trinity, which divides God into three distinct persons, in favor of the understanding that God manifested Himself fully in Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:9). We uphold this truth as foundational, emphasizing that the God of the Bible is singular in essence, but reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit within His oneness.
