Aims And Beliefs
GlobalChristians.Org was originally formed in 2001 to provide in-service training for Asian Christians who are unable to access conventional bible college training through problems of cost, distance or busyness at work and was originally based in Manila, Philippines.
In 2004 we moved to Los Angeles and are a 501(c) (3) religious non-profit corporation registered in the State of Virginia known as GlobalChristians.Org-International. We have recently been renamed Cybermissions to better reflect our activities which now include setting up evangelistic Internet cafes in unreached people groups.
Our mission statement is: Cybermissions is a missionary society that uses computers and the Internet to facilitate the Great Commission.
This includes online bible and ministry training, Internet evangelism and follow-up and establishing evangelistic Internet cafes in unreached people groups.
Beliefs
The following serves as the official concise statement of GlobalChristians.Org beliefs:
1. I believe in the inspiration
and authority of the Scriptures.
2. I believe in the need for: Repentance from sin, faith in Jesus Christ
as Lord and Savior, and reverent obedience to His commandments.
3. I am in full agreement with the universal creeds
of the Christian faith (the Apostles and Nicene Creeds and the Formula
of Chalcedon) and the Lausanne Covenant
Amplification: Theologically we are interdenominational and accepting of all born-again bible-believing Christians. We are Trinitarian and subscribe to the three main creeds of the Christian Church - the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Creed of Chalcedon and the modern evangelical compilation known as the Lausanne Covenant.
We are missions-minded and evangelistic and hope to see the Great Commission fulfilled. We emphasize daily bible reading, prayer, radical discipleship and practical Christian living.
We hold to the inerrancy of the 66 books of the Protestant Scriptures.
We allow disagreement on controversial issues such as modes of administration of the sacraments and material on the site will probably reflect the full range of beliefs held among Protestant Christians. We do not aim to be theologically divisive and most of the material will be basic standard theology as taught in most bible colleges around the world.
We seek to serve both evangelical, charismatic and Pentecostal Christians and the board members are from a wide range of evangelical, charismatic and Pentecostal denominations. Individual courses range in theology from Pentecostal to conservative evangelical. While we host material from various sources e.g. the Harvestime material, that does not necessarily mean we are "associated" with them or that we subscribe to their doctrinal positions, just that we have found their teaching materials to be useful. Some of the mature courses contain controversial material that advanced students should be exposed to in order to gain theological or historical perspective e.g. some writings of Church historians. The fact that such material may be set as a student reading does not imply that we agree with it.
While GlobalChristians.Org seeks to uphold high theological standards it is not necessarily in agreement with all the opinions of its contributors. GlobalChristians.Org does not subscribe to extreme theologies such as liberal theology, liberation theology or extreme prosperity teachings.
