PASTORAL CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE |
|||
INSTRUCTIONS: The
following questionnaire is designed to help churches find God's "match"
in their search for A pastor. It was necessitated for two reasons: (1)
many churches today are split over doctrinal and other related issues
because they called a pastor that held beliefs different than theirs;
and, (2) churches that contact our office for a list of pastoral candidates
assume that because we pass their name along to them that they do not
need to ask the candidates about these issues. In many cases, we know
little more about the preacher than they. Therefore, please help us by
answering each of the following questions with a simple "yes"
or "no." Your answers will be provided to churches along with
your resume. Note: No resume will be sent to
an inquiring church without being accompanied by a completed questionnaire!
|
|||
| 1. Do you believe in the plenary verbal inspiration of the Old and New Testaments; that is, that inspiration extends to all subjects and to the very words of the Bible and not just to the thoughts and ideas of its human authors? Yes No | |||
| 2. Do you believe that there is one living and true God who is revealed in Scripture as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit? Yes No | |||
| 3. Do you believe that Jesus Christ was virgin born? Yes No | |||

| 7. Do you believe in the doctrine commonly called "eternal security" that is, all believers will persevere in faith and have eternal life (i.e. "Once saved, always saved.")? Yes No | |||
| 8. Do you support and promote the work of Free Will Baptists on the Conference, State, and National Level? Yes No | |||
| 9. Do you believe that the gift of speaking in tongues is a visible sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer? Yes No | |||
| 10. Do you believe that the gift of tongues is to be sought by believers and its practice encouraged in the church today? Yes No | |||
