Ebenezer EFC Positional Statements

  1. The Church: We encourage all brothers and sisters to commit to their Church, and become a prayer warrior. God desires us to be his faithful disciples. (Heb 10:24-25)
  2. The Holy Spirit: We firmly believe the work of the Holy Spirit in the Church, but we do not seek to exalt miracles such as speaking in tongues, healing and casting out demons, or prophecy as the dominant phenomenon. (I Cor 13:1-3; I Cor 14)
  3. Service: We encourage everyone to participate in at least one Church ministry (Rom 12:11). We keep a humbled heart and work as a team. Never exalt individualism but focus on the direction in the interests of the Church. (I Cor 12:14-26)
  4. Holy Communion: We welcome brothers and sisters who have been baptized to receive. (I Cor 11:17-34)
  5. Politics: We pray often for the political leaders of our country, and respect each person’s political position. We do not encourage members to engage in political activities or make a personal political stand in the Church or in the group and members are encouraged to avoid triggering unnecessary conflict or confrontation. (1 Tim 2:1-2)
  6. Tithing: We worship God by honouring Him as our provider and remind ourselves that all of our resources belong to Him and are provided through His grace (Mal 3:10). God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor 9:7), and it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).
  7. Speech: Do not participate privately in communications destructive to the Church or people. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. (Eph 4:31)
  8. Boy-Girl Relationship: The Church does not encourage brothers and sisters to engage in a relationship and marry unbelievers. When he/she wishes to enter into a relationship with fellow church-mate, we recommend that both serve and pray together before confirming their relationship. The pastors are willing to pray together for God’s guidance. (2 Cor 6:14)
  9. Marketing: We respect practitioners in the finance, insurance, property, and direct marketing industries. They can briefly introduce their professions when joining the Church and groups, but not to proactively market their products or services to the members. (Matt 21:12-13)
  10. Loans: If there is any loan or transaction between Church members, please inform the pastors or group leaders, so as to provide spiritual covering. (Heb 13:17)
