Ordinances of The Lion of Judah Ministries

Water Baptism

When someone unites with our ministry on the profession of faith in Christ he/she shall further confess Christ by receiving water baptism. Baptism shall be administered according to the divine command of our blessed Lord, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Spirit).”

Holy Communion

Holy Communion commemorates our redemption by Christ’s death. It points to Calvary, and to the return of Jesus, whose blood cleanses us from all sin and prepares us for His blessed return (Matthew 26:17-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30).

a) The bread and the wine should be administered to all Christians.

b) The Lord’s Table should be open to all who love Him, and all of the Lord’s children should be invited to His table to commemorate together the death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Spirit Baptism and Speaking With Tongues

We believe that the Pentecostal baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of appropriating faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer (Luke 11:13; 24:49; Acts 1:5, 8; 2:38, 39).

To live in the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s power and possession, we must continue to live a clean and consecrated life, free from sin, strife, worldliness and pride, and must avoid attitudes and actions, which tend to “grieve” or “quench” the Holy Spirit of God (Ephesians 4:29-32; 1 Thessalonians 5:19).

The Lion of Judah Ministries believes in the gifts of the Spirit as set forth by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 12, 13 and 14. We believe that they are “set in the Church” by the Holy Spirit. We desire that our members may so live under the control of the Holy Spirit that these gifts may be manifested or used through

Consecrated individuals in the worship services where, when, and as they are needed, but all to the glory of God and the edifying of the body of Christ.

Divine Healing

We believe that provision was made in the atonement for the healing of our bodies as set forth in the following Scriptures: Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matthew 8:16, 17; Mark 16:15-18; James 5:14-16; Exodus 15:26; to which we would also add Romans 8:26-28. And, while we do not condemn the use of medical means in the treatment of physical disease, we do believe in, practice and commend to our people the laying on of hands by the elders or leaders of the church, the anointing with oil in the name of the Lord, and the offering of prayers for the healing of the sick.

• We believe that there is one living and true God made up of three persons of one substance of eternal being, and equal in holiness, justice, wisdom, power, and dignity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

• We believe that the Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man`s nature in the womb of the blessed virgin; and was born as Christ, who is both God and perfect man, who actually suffered, was crucified, dead, and buried, to reconcile the Father to us, and to make atonement for all of our sins.

• We believe that Jesus Christ (HaMashiach) rose rise again from the dead, and took again His body, with all things appertaining to the perfections of man`s nature, and ascended into heaven and there sits until He shall return to judge all men at the last day.

• We believe the Holy Ghost; proceeding from the Father and the Son is of one substance, majesty, and glory with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God.

• We believe in the inspiration of the Bible, composed of sixty-six books and divided into two segments, Old and New Testaments. The Bible is the Word of God, the thorough revelation of the plan and history of redemption.

• We believe that eternal life with God in heaven is a portion of the reward of the finally righteous; and that everlasting banishment from the presence of the Lord and unending torture in hell are the wages of the persistently wicked (Matthew 25:46; Psalm 9:17; Revelation 21:7-8).

• We believe that Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) shed His blood for the remission of sins that are past, for the regeneration of penitent sinners, and for salvation from sin and from sinning (Romans 3:25; 1 John 3:5-10; Ephesians 2:1-10).

• We believe that the Pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of appropriating faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer, and the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:5; 2:14, 8-17; 10:44-46; 19:6).

• We believe in divine healing as in the atonement (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:14-18; James 5:14-16; Exodus 15:26).

• We believe in the imminent, personal, pre millennial second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 3:1-4; Matthew 24:29-44), and we wait for His appearing (2 Timothy 4:8).
