Polish Christian Ministry (PCM) refers to the Puritan movement and took a stand for the purity of faith regarding the authority of Holy Scripture and also a holy life of believers.
“Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord” Heb 12:14
"For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit” 1 Thess 4:7-8
Despite of the fact that so many centuries have passed, in evangelical churches there are people who want to experience God’s presence and know deeper biblical truths.
Puritans were concentrated on the personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. He changed their lives and has got power today to change people’s lives.
"You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.I do not accept praise from men, but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts" John 5:39-43
The lack of interest and discontentment with spiritual matters or church is a result of the sin in which believers dwell. God can’t manifest His power as it was during the times of first Christians, because believers didn’t deal with their sins.
“Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us”.1 Peter 2:12
Polish Christian Ministry believes:
- In assurance of salvation
- That salvation of man is not rely on good works, but depends only on sovereign will of God
- That the fall of man described in Genesis caused the break o his spiritual relationship with God and a loss of free will /ability of making a choice between good and evil/. Since his fall he is in the slavery of sin. Only at the moment of repentance the Holy Sprit enables and gives power to overcome sin and changes life in the process of sanctification, that lasts through whole life on this earth.
- That in Lord’s Day a believer willingly leaves all duties, entertainment and everyday works and commits this day for a personal communion with God and fellowship with believers.
- A soul is immortal
- There are only two places, where the soul can go after death: to Hell or Heaven.
- That a true saving faith is not a religion, or a religious denomination, but is based on a personal relationship with a person Jesus Christ
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” Prov 16:7
„When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him" Heb 11:6
