TENENTS 

 

P.U.R.E. Ministries is a divinely ordained and uniquely led fellowship.  All of its fellowship churches and outreach ministries are asked to comply with its high standards.  The ministry is founded on four functional tenets:

​

     Apostolic and Prophetic Impartation

     Biblical Instruction

     Ministerial Integrity

     Restoration

​

These tenets are absolute and are scripturally sound, according to the following passages.

​

Apostolic and Prophetic Impartation  -  Ephesians 2:20; Ephesians 4:11-13;

II Chronicles 20:20; Amos 3:7

​

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone;

​

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

​

And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord our God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

​

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

​

Biblical Instruction  -  II Timothy 2:15; II Timothy 3:16-17

​

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

​

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

​

Ministerial Integrity  -  Psalms 51:6; Proverbs 20:7; II Corinthians 4:1-2;

II Corinthians 6:3

​

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:  and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

​

The just man walketh in his integrity:  his children are blessed after him.

​

Therefore seeing we have this ministry as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

​

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

 

Restoration  -  Galatians 6:1

 

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

​

Strict adherence to these tenets is expected and required.
