Article 6

Affirmation: We affirm that in the Old Testament, God revealed Himself to people in temporary altars, tabernacles and temples. We affirm that these locations served as points on earth where God and man would meet. We affirm, therefore, that altars, tabernacles and temples had a real validity in the worship of God’s people. We also affirm that all these found their fulfillment in Jesus who is the final revelation of God and meeting place between God and man. We affirm that, after Jesus, no earthly location possesses peculiar spiritual significance as a portal to accessing divine blessing or as an indispensable place for worship.

Denial: We deny that local church buildings are or should have altars which serve as points of connection to heaven. We also deny that christians are required to ‘raise up’ visible or invisible altars in order to gain spiritual control of any particular territory. We deny that special deliverances are required to tear down invisible altars in order to rid families, churches, cities or countries of spiritual evil.
