Doctrine of the Prophetic Church

(Updated: 4 July, 2011)

The Prophetic Church has the following principles:

1. The Prophetic Church is a Christian religion (that is to say, an approach to moral Truth recognizing Jesus as Lord and Saviour, who enables us to not only turn away from sin, but actually be forgiven).

   1. Without Jesus even if we find enlightenment, we can't be properly reunited to God, because we have nothing ourselves to offer against our sin.

2. Our Purpose as a Church is to accomplish no wrong and much good, ie. 1) purity and 2) (positive) contribution, based on 3) individual progression in morality.

   1. That means there is a lot of room to debate what is right, to decide it, and to do it without needing permission.

   2. Thereby we develop as individuals and exercise our own wisdom. No moral issue, and therefore no world issue, will be outside of our grasp.

   3. We will be able to lead in truly righteousness activism.

   4. The duality of our pursuit will be reflected in our main services including both a lesson and an action.

   5. Our contribution is first to our own Church members, and then to the outer world.

3. Our Foundation of Moral Truth is a combination of Prophecy and Ethics, especially where the two agree.

   1. That means that, for example, if someone tells you to launch into an unjust war based on a Scripture verse, you do NOT do it because the ethics are lacking.

4. Our concept of Ethics is based on Truth, Equality of Kind, and Justice.

5. Our concept of Prophecy includes both third-party Works (Scripture) and our own relationship with God.

6. Our measure of Prophecy is what helps us to better accomplish our purpose, that is, no wrong and much good.

   1. This is how brand new Prophetic works can be measured.

7. Our Scripture includes both the Bible and the Gospel of the Holy Twelve as primary books (essential inspiration), with other works recognized in a secondary capacity: such as the Book of Jasher, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

   1. Each one has their own contribution, none are considered absolutely infallible or all we need.

   2. Entirely new Prophetic works can be considered based on their value towards our good purpose.

8. Our primary tools for activism are 1) prayer and 2) unselfish acts of kindness (big or small).

9. Our minimum agreed moral standard is the Ten Commandments.
