Revival Ministries Australia is based on the following statements of the Christian faith.

The Authority of Scripture

We accept the Bible as the full revelation of Jesus Christ and seek to approve all things according to the Word of God.  We are committed to believing God to fulfil every promise contained in Scripture. (2 Timothy 3:16)

The Lordship of Jesus Christ

We discover our relationship with God the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ only and seek to serve Jesus as Lord through the whole of our lives. (Acts 2:36, Phil.2:9-11)

The Power of the Holy Spirit

We seek the empowering of the Holy Spirit as essential enablement for ministry that bears witness to Jesus.  We seek to develop in the operation of all the gifts and graces of the Spirit given by God as supernatural equipment for the on-going ministry of Jesus through us.

(Acts 1:8, 1 Cor.12:7-11, 2 Cor.3:2-6)

 

The Command of Jesus to Make Disciples

We are committed to fulfil the great commission given by Jesus to the church, to preach the gospel to every person, seeking to draw them to become His disciples. Once a person has been baptized, they are to be taught the word until they are able to teach others. This is the way of discipleship. (Matthew 28:18-20, Heb.5:12-6:3, 2Tim.2:2)

 

The Uniqueness of the Apostolic Ministry

We value the ministries of the apostolic church as seen in the book of Acts, and seek the restoration of the five (5) fold ministry gifts.  We desire to see the Body of Christ equipped to exercise these ministries through the power of the Holy Spirit until the church comes to maturity. Specifically, the church has been given “grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name” Rom.1:5. (Eph. 2:20, 3:5, 4:11-13)

 

The Unity of the Spirit and Unity of the Faith

As part of the Body of Christ we seek the unity of the Spirit with every believer, and unity of the faith with all churches that confess faith in Jesus Christ.  We desire to co-operate with the churches in our region, throughout Australia and overseas in order to proclaim the gospel to every person. (John 17:21, Eph. 4:3 and 13)

 

The Centrality of Worship

We value worship, as we seek to respond to God’s desire for a people who worship Him in spirit and in truth. “For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh” Phil.3:3. (John 4:23-24)

 

The Pursuit of Holiness

We are committed to becoming like Jesus. This is only possible through the revelation of the mystery of God’s glory in the saints, with is “Christ in you the hope of glory” Col.1:27. We desire that our personal lives and our relationships generally will reflect more and more of His character. (1 Peter 1:15-16, Rom.8:29-30, 2 Pet.1:4)

 

Concern for All People

We are committed to ensuring that the teaching of Scripture is available to all people regardless of status and circumstances – to fulfil the command of Christ to “preach the gospel to all creation” including those special people in God’s sight whom the Bible refers to as “the poor”, also includes the widow and the orphan. (Mark 16:15, Matthew 11:5, Ja.1:27)

 

Marriage and Family

We recognise marriage and the family as the fundamental basis for society.  We are committed to faithfulness in marriage and biblical training of children in the family. (Heb.13:4, Eph.6:4)

 

What we do practise:

The Bible is the Word of God We take the Bible seriously and find from many years of experience that the Bible is a most awesome book. We call it the Word of God, because through the Bible we find out about God, who He is, why He created and best of all, how to come into a personal relationship with Him. The Bible is a spiritual book: it reveals God, who is Spirit, to us.

Prayer We are people who pray much, taking all our own needs to God in prayer and praying for the needs of others also. We follow the Bible way of laying hands on the sick and praying for healing. We find that the power and spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit are imparted through the laying on of hands.

Preach the Gospel We simply seek to obey what Jesus said to do in the Bible. We preach the gospel to all people to whom God sends us. We do not discriminate but literally go into the highways and byways.

Baptism When people come to believe in Jesus we baptise them in water. It is a very significant step for a person to take, to become a baptised believer. It means a real change has come into the person's life.

Receiving the Holy Spirit We then ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit to be given to the newly baptised believer. This means receiving the supernatural power of God into our human spirit, enabling us to be like Jesus.

Becoming a Disciple Each born again Christian is able to follow the Lord personally, reading the Bible and communicating with God directly through prayer. After a time of discipleship, that is, training in the word of God and being able to exercise the gifts of the Holy Spirit, each person is then equipped to effectively reach out to others and share the gospel with them in a powerful way.
