Beliefs
The Catechism of the Global Methodist Church is a resource for teaching, study and spiritual growth. It provides a summary of our core beliefs, rooted in Scripture, in the Wesleyan tradition and is designed to help people of all ages grow in their faith.
Who is God?
​
God is the one true, holy and living God, the Eternal Spirit, the Holy Trinity. (Deut. 6:4; Lev. 19:2; Jer. 10:10; Matt. 28:19; John 17:3; Heb. 9:14.)
Is the Holy Spirit God?
Yes. The Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. ( Matt. 28:19-20; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 2:9-11; 3:16; Gal 4:6) He has spoken through the prophets. (2 Sam. 23:2; Isa. 61:1-3; Zech 7:12; Matt. 1:22-23; Heb. 1:1-2; 1 Pet. 1:10-12; 2 Pet. 1:20-21.)
What is the mystery of the Trinity?
God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, distinct but inseparable, eternally one in essence and power. (Luke 3:21-22; John 15:26; Acts 2:33; Rom. 8:9-11; 2 Cor. 13:13; Gal. 4:4-6; Eph. 2:18; Titus 3:4-6; Heb. 9:14; 1 Pet. 1:2)
How must we receive Scripture?
The Holy Bible is to be received through the Holy Spirit as the true rule and guide for faith and practice. (Prov. 30:5-6; Jas. 1:21-25; 1 Pet. 1:23-25; 2 Tim. 3:16-17)
Who is Jesus Christ?
The Son of God and our Lord Jesus Christ are one person in whom the divine and human natures are perfectly and inseparably united. (Isa. 9:6; Matt. 1:20-23; John 1:14, 14:9-11; Rom. 1:3-4; Col. 1:15-20; 1 Tim. 3:16; Heb 1:1-3)
Do you believe in the church?
Yes. I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. (John 10:16; 1 Cor. 12:12-13; Eph. 4:4-6; 5:25-27; 1 Pet. 2:9-10; Rev. 5:9-10.)
