The My Gospel Story video platform exists to enable believers to evangelise the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through individual Gospel videos, printed materials, and training resources, we desire to equip every Christian to become a faithful witness and reach the world for Christ in their generation.
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15
Beliefs
The Bible
We believe the Bible to be the revealed Word of God, fully and verbally inspired of God. We believe the Scriptures to be the inerrant, infallible Word of God, as found within the 66 books from Genesis to Revelation. We believe the Bible is the true centre of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried. We believe that God not only inspired every word, but that He has preserved them through the ages.
Psalm 12:6–7; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; 2 Peter 1:19-21
God
We believe in one living and true God; Who is eternal, self-existent, infinite, and immutable. We believe God is inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all possible honour, confidence, and love. We believe God has one nature, one essence, and one substance; yet manifests Himself to man in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Timothy 1:17; James 1:17; 1 John 4:4
Jesus Christ
The Virgin Birth – We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Ghost in a miraculous manner; born of Mary, a virgin, as no other man was ever born or can ever be born of a woman. We believe that He is both the Son of God and God the Son. We believe that He was God incarnate and that the purposes of the incarnation were to reveal God, to redeem men, and to rule over God's kingdom.
The Saviour – We believe Jesus Christ to be the one and only Saviour of mankind. We believe Jesus Christ to be eternally God and to possess all the attributes of Deity. We believe Jesus Christ never relinquished any attributes of His Deity, but merely veiled them. We believe Christ lived a perfect, sinless life, at the end of which He was offered for all mankind as the substitutionary sacrifice for man's sin. This sacrifice is the only sufficient payment to God for the forgiveness of sin. This payment was activated by His death through the shedding of His blood on the cross and was accepted by God upon His resurrection. We believe in the bodily Resurrection of the Lord Jesus on "The third day according to the Scriptures", and that He ascended "to the right hand of the throne of God", and that He alone is our "merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God."
The Return of Christ – We believe that "this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven," - bodily, personally, and visibly. We believe that the "dead in Christ shall rise first", that the living saints "shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump", that "the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David"; and that "Christ shall reign a thousand years in righteousness until He hath put all enemies under His feet."
Psalm 2:7-9; Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, 43:11; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:25; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1, 1:3, 14, 18, 29; Romans 3:19-25; Romans 5:6-15; Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Timothy 2:5; 1 Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:10-15; Hebrews 7:26, 9:24-28; 1 Peter 1:19, 2:2; 1 John 1:3; Revelation 20:1-6
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person. He is equal with God the Father and God the Son and of the same nature, and was active in the creation of all things. We believe that in this unbelieving world He restrains the evil one until God's purpose is fulfilled. He convicts of sin, righteousness, and the judgment to come. He bears witness to the Truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony. He is the agent in the New Birth. In that role, He seals, endues, guides, teaches, sanctifies, and helps every believer.

Creation and Mankind
Creation – We believe the Genesis account of creation is to be accepted literally, and not allegorically or figuratively. We believe all animal and vegetable life was made directly by God and that He established the law that they should bring forth only "after their kind."
Mankind – We believe that God specifically created mankind in His own image, after His own likeness, and in 2 distinct genders - male and female. Man is not the result of evolution, an evolutionary change of species, or developed through interminable periods of time from lower to higher forms. We believe the only legitimate marriage can be between a man and a woman and that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of marriage. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful perversions. We believe that God rejects any attempt to alter one's gender by surgery or appearance.

The Fall of Man
We believe that God created mankind in innocence and that man voluntarily sinned and thus fell from his sinless, happy state.
We believe that all mankind are now sinners as the consequence of the original sin, not by constraint, but by choice, and therefore live under eternal condemnation without defence or excuse.
Gen. 3:1-6, 24; Rom. 5:12, 19; Rom. 3:10-19; Eph. 2:1, 3; Rom. 1:18; Ezek.18:19-20; Rom. 1:20, 28, 32; Gal. 3:22
Sin and Salvation
Sin – We believe that God created mankind in innocence and that man voluntarily sinned and thus fell from his sinless, happy state.
We believe that all mankind are now sinners as the consequence of the original sin, not by constraint, but by choice, and therefore live under eternal condemnation without defence or excuse.
Atonement for Sin – We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and that Christ freely became a man, yet without sin, and honoured the divine law by His personal obedience. We believe Christ's death made the full and vicarious atonement for the sins of all mankind and that His death was voluntary and the only legitimate substitute in the sinner's place - Jesus Christ alone is qualified to be the all-sufficient Saviour.
Justification – We believe that Christ justifies all that believe on Him by faith - including the pardon of sin and the gift of eternal life. This justification is bestowed solely on the merits of the righteousness of Christ and through faith in His shed blood, and imputes His righteousness to those that are justified.
Salvation – We believe that salvation is made free to all by the Gospel and that nothing can prevent the salvation of anyone (including the greatest sinner) except for their sin and voluntary rejection of the Gospel. We believe that in order to be saved, all sinners must be convicted of their guilt and helplessness, believe that the way of salvation is only through Jesus Christ, turn to God with unfeigned contrition and receive Christ by openly confessing Him as their only Saviour. We believe that salvation is instantaneous and not a process and that in the new birth, the one dead in trespasses and sins is made a partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life - the free gift of God. Simultaneously, the partaker becomes a new creation, not by culture, not by character, nor by the will of man, but wholly and solely by the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that the evidence of this new creation appears in voluntary obedience to God, holy fruits of repentance and faith, and the newness of life.

Missions
We believe God's command to the local church and individual believers in Jesus Christ is clear and unmistakable. We are to preach the Gospel in all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. As ambassadors of Christ, we must use all available means to go to the foreign nations and not wait for them to come to us.
