Our Doctrinal Statement |
 |
Christian
Healing Ministries affirms the historic Christian beliefs as
contained in the creeds (the Apostles’ Creed, Nicene Creed,
and Athanasian Creed), which have served as the basis of
Christian belief since the first century. Because of the nature
of our prayer ministry, we stress in particular the need for the
power of the Holy Spirit, in order that we might serve as
vessels of God’s healing power.
We also
affirm the value of the medical and counseling fields since
they, too, are ways in which God’s healing power is
manifested. Beyond medicine and human means, we believe God can
work miracles of healing through Jesus Christ, and we see this
as part of His role as our Savior.
As our
name, Christian Healing Ministries, suggests, we are explicitly
Christian and accept Sacred Scripture as our guide and norm. We
realize that there are many denominations, and we do not want to
further divide but to bring together all strands of Christian
truth. What we do exclude, by the very nature of our ministry as
Christians, is anything that goes counter to established
Christian truth, as well as any kind of healing that relies upon
a spiritual power other than that of Jesus Christ (e.g.,
spiritualism). We pray that our courses on prayer for healing
draw students closer to our Lord and His Holy Spirit.
