ABOUT US
Dear Visitor May God bless you as you visit and learn on about us
We are Christians Evangelicals belong to independent and self
governing local bible based churches
We are members of FECE –INTERNATIONALE (Federation Des Eglises
Chretiennes Evangeliques) an International family of Bible believing
churches formed in 2005 in France FECE is a reaction the the
marginalization of independent churches and the lack of theological
training often found in such churches.
In Uganda we are grouped in FECE-UGANDA and Our aim is Spreading the
the Gospel of Jesus Christ without Compromise
Members of FECE UGANDA as all other brethren throughout FECE INTERNATIONALE
We bielive,teach and preach that ,
1 - BIBLE TOPICALITY
We assert, according to the Holy Scriptures that God does not change
(Malachy 3.6). We are therefore situated under the triple authority of
Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost, and the sovereign Word of God, the Father of
our Lord who operates on all there.
We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior by the Holy Spirit, and
across the Holy Scriptures (absolute rule of faith) .We acknowledge
that our ethics of life must comply with this irremovable Word.
We respect those who do not participate in this vision but we refuse
for ourselves to corrupt Judeo-Christian morality.
2 - SALVATION
We confess, in accordance with the Gospels that there is salvation
only in Jesus Christ (Acts 4.12), and that He is the only intermediary
between God and men (1Timothy 2.5).
We confess that salvation is possible only by creed and by the
writings which are only the fruits of creed.
We maintain that christening has value only if it is the culmination
of a personal repentance and also a personal commitment to become
adherent of Jesus Christ. It has value therefore only if he answers
these criteria. As show it all educations of Jesus Christ and apostles
it is played by immersion at the request of the concerned person able
of making alone this decision.
We all respect those who have another vision, but we consider that the
only form of collaboration with different religions consists in
constructing reciprocal relationship of peace and respect. We refuse
any form of syncretism that we consider to be a violation of the will
of God (Hebrews 10.29, 2Timothy 2.16).
3 - The CHURCH
We acknowledge privilege in no church or religious organization to be
situated above the others, neither as model, nor for stronger reason
as « means of salvation ». The Church belongs to Jesus Christ, and He
is the one we must recognize as chief (Ephesians 1.22 and 5.23).
Ecclesiastical structures being only the support of the life of the
people of God, every local community gets organized therefore
according to what the Holy Spirit says in the Church.
Our relations between churches members of the Confederation, very as
with other names, are therefore meant to be imprinted by respect and
by love for all souls.
A bridge is therefore desirable between born Christians once again.
However, we refuse any associations purposes of which would be to
corrupt the essential doctrine enunciated in the Word of God (2
Timothy 4.3).
This concerns the ethics, particularly debates regarding
homosexuality, right to life, genetic manipulations... If we reject
any form of homophobia, we profoundly respect in our churches as for
ourselves the sacred rule of marriage, only between persons of
different sexes (Lévitics 18.).
4 - COMMUNION
Communion takes all its sense in the Holy Last Supper. We however draw
attention of each to the importance to participate in this memory of
the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, in full knowledge of reason, and not as
a simple ritual (Corinthian 1 11.29). We demonstrate our fraternal
love by inviting the Christians to share the bread and the wine, if it
wants it, when they visit our churches.
5 - THE HOLY GHOST FREEDOM
It is to accept that the Holy Ghost comes on all members of the Church
to make living witnesses of Jesus Christ. Blowing Spirit « where He
wants and when He wants » (Corinthian 1 12.7-11) we do not have to
judge anybody in comparison with their « spiritual donations ». On the
contrary, it is up to us to search them passionately (Corinthian 1
14.12) for the edification of the Church.
6-THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST
We think that God fixed a time for the return of Christ. If it is not
possible to us to know the day of its return, it however gave us signs
allowing holding us awakened. We think that He wants to put the Church
in the shelter to celebrate the wedding of the lamb (1 Thessalonicians
4.16-17), and we must get ready in the realization of this promise (2
Timothy 4.8)
7 - MINISTRIES
All those who exercise a ministry have to try hard to live in the
research of sanctity, for them even and however the witness they give
(1Timothy 3.2 and 3.12).
Ministries are provoked by the Spirit of God and acknowledged by
ancient in place (Acts 13.2). Any self-proclaim ministry could
therefore be suspicious. The freedom of the Holy Ghost also consists
in moving an established ministry, changing it or replacing when it is
necessary.
Every Christian must therefore take the place which Holy Spirit
indicates him in the Church today. The minister more than quite other
must search the will of the Lord and help in the emergence of new
vocations.
The Church is not managing as a firm; it is not either a family
business. A minister must be ready to let his place to a successor at
the come instant. He must help his successor to take over and to get
ready in this transition so that she is not lived as a break, either
by the local church, or by him.
Chapter II – RELATIONSHIP AND ECCLESIASTICAL DISCIPLINE
Our relations must be transparent.
8 - RECOGNITION OF MINISTRIES
Once a ministry was disclosed by the local Church, he must be
subjected to his recognition by the Confederation. In order to do
that, the President fulfilling the duties must be informed by the
local minister. After consultation of the Office, and as far as the
majority of his members acknowledge the well-grounded of this
ministry, it will be introduced during a general meeting which is
alone competent to make final decision in the name of the
Confederation. It can be asked a grading period or one time to think
if a firm belief was not apparently established. In such hypothesis,
and as far as the Office supports recommendation at the end of
cogitation or of grading delay, case will once again be subjected to
the General meeting which will take position definitely.
Consecration will take place in its church, in the presence of several
attendants, of which at the very least a member of the Office.
9 - AUDIT
Every member acknowledges the right in the Office of the Confederation
to perform an audit of the local Church, which will be able to hit on:
A check on the good manners of pounds and lawful documents, the
compliance of education, the help to the regulations of specific
problems.
These audits will have to make member regularly in every association
and each promises to accept them.
In case of refusal, or if after portrayal of an important and
justified anomaly, the association refuses to undertake necessary
corrections; case must be subjected to the Office which, in fine, will
be able after revival to consider case to be serious breach and to
treat it according to the dispositions of statutes.
Chapter III – DEVELOPMENT
Vision is the development of the Gospel impact, according to vocations
or specific calls of each.
10 - Development of associations
The religious associations not being authorized to have other
objectives than the exercise of worship, it is necessary to create
associations.
- From cultural associations, as far as their object is in touch with
the development of Christian creed,
- And/or from associations having vocation the help to the needy.
It is desirable that these associations can collaborate between them,
and the Confederation having vocation to act as link will help them in
the measure of its competences.
