Article 5

Affirmation: We affirm that under God’s Old Covenant arrangement, an Israelite was liable to God’s curse due to egregious failures to uphold the terms of the covenant. We affirm that these consequences of covenant breaking would sometimes go down affecting even future generations. We further affirm that the visiting of iniquity down through to 4 generations was God’s prerogative and involved His knowledge of their guilt before Him. We affirm that this state of affairs ended when Jesus was made a curse and consequently died on behalf of His people.

Denial: We deny that true christians today can be under a curse, generational or otherwise due to their own remaining sin or that of their unbelieving forefathers. We deny that beyond the deliverance that comes about when one is saved through Christ, christians also need to conduct careful investigations into their ancestral past and consequently to seek additional special deliverances from so-called ‘generational bondage’. We further deny that such special deliverances are to be procured by visiting special prayer sites, consulting special ‘anointed ones’ and giving financial offerings.
