“We are ambassadors for Messiah, as though God were making an appeal through us.” 2 Cor 5:20
Members’ Pledge…
As a Member of Ambassadors Fellowship, I pledge as follows:
I pledge my mutual submission to Yeshua the Messiah as sovereign Head over His church and each Member individually; to His Word (the Bible as the final authority and directives given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit) and to one another, according to Yahweh’s divine order and authority: within the family (husbands stewarding over their households and parents over their children) and within this community of saints (Elders and Overseers stewarding over church affairs, with Ministers as delegated representatives).
I pledge to walk in the Light (righteousness, truth and goodness), to continue maturing as a wholehearted disciple of Messiah along with fellow community members: excelling in faith, godly character, grace and knowledge in the Holy Spirit; mutually accountable to confess and repent from all darkness (unbelief, sinful actions, fleshly lusts, worldly philosophies and demonic influences) and to encourage, provoke and exhort one another to love and good deeds done in faith and a good conscience toward God.
I pledge a mutual, co-investment of my time (remaining actively engaged in community activities), my talents (utilizing the grace, giftings and abilities I’ve received) and my treasure (offering my possessions and finances) toward fulfilling the various purposes of Messiah’s church in accord with His Word and as Holy Spirit directs my own conscience: that the glory of Yahweh be made known in all the earth, His Kingdom be advanced in the hearts of all nations and the needs of His people be served.
I pledge to actively support and serve the community’s mandate to fulfill the ‘Great Commission’: “preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom in all the earth” (calling mankind to sincere repentance, belief/trust in Yeshua and abiding in Him to the end), “making disciples” (wholehearted students, followers and servants of Messiah), “baptizing them” (“pledge of faith and good conscience toward God” and united with Messiah and His church) and “teaching them to obey everything Yeshua commanded.”
I pledge to fulfill my responsibilities to community Elders, Overseers and Minsters: to pray for them; to voluntarily submit and obey in matters related to their governing community affairs (activities, traditions and discipline); to show honor (respect, appreciation and support); to financially support (“wages due”) those designated “Elders who govern the affairs of the church well, especially who work hard at preaching and teaching” and to hold them accountable according to Biblical standards and practices.
As an Overseer, Elder and Minister of Ambassadors Fellowship, I pledge as follows:
I pledge to fulfill my responsibilities as an Overseer, Elder and Minister: to seek Messiah’s will and directives for the community; to pray for its Members; to lead with humility, integrity and by godly example; to feed (sound and timely doctrine); to nurture (care for and equip); to protect (from false doctrines, corrupt ministers and stumbling blocks); to guide Yeshua’s sheep (purchased with His blood) to the Shepherd Himself and to remain qualified to serve according to Biblical standards.
