Membership Inquires
Bible
Way
Association
is
a
Full
Gospel,
Pentecostal
ministry
believing in the trinity of the Godhead.
We
want
to
thank
you
for
your
interest
in
becoming
a
member
of
Bible
Way
Association.
This
site
will
provide
some
of
the
expectations
we
feel
are
important
to
this
ministry.
This
Association
is
committed
to
helping
enable
other
ministries
to
accomplish
and
fulfil
what
God
has
called
them
to
do,
while
providing
a
strong
doctrinal
and
legal
foundation to work through.
•
We
are
searching
for
fellowship
with
those
of
"like-
precious
faith"
(2
Peter
1:1),
who
share
our
values
in
the ministry of the Gospel.
•
We
promote
the
use
of
the
King
James
Version
of
the
Holy Bible as the true, unadulterated Word of God.
•
We
believe
that
only
the
anointing
of
the
Holy
Ghost
can
bring
true
revival
and
that
anything
less
is
relying
on charisma or carnallity.
•
We
believe
in
a
standard
of
lifestyle
that
represents
true
holiness,
both
within
the
heart
and
soul,
and
is
represented
outwardly
by
modesty,
honesty,
and
without condemnation towards others.
•
We
also
believe
in
the
fellowship
of
the
believers
and
caring
for
one
another,
by
prayer
and
other
means
as
necessary.
•
We
believe
in
a
high
standard
of
ministerial
conduct,
both
within
the
ministry
and
within
the
home,
each
being an example to other believers.
•
We
offer
a
full
line
of
credentials
to
qualified
ministers,
including Exhorter, License and Ordination.
•

the

the
ability

Association,
