Statement Of Faith
Explore the foundational beliefs that guide our journey and mission at Bikers for Christ Motorcycle Ministry.
Our Core Beliefs
WE BELIEVE the Bible to exclusively be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
WE BELIEVE there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-14; John 10:30; John 14:15-26).
WE BELIEVE:
- In the deity of Christ (Isaiah 9:6; John 8:58; John 10:24-30; Titus 2:13)
- His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:34-35)
- His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; II Corinthians 5:21; I John 3:5)
- His miracles (Matthew 8; Mark 2:5-12; John 2:11,23)
- His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9; 1 Peter 3:18)
- His resurrection (John 2:18-22; John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4)
- His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19; Ephesians 1:19-21)
- His return to earth in power and glory (Acts 1:9- 11; Revelation 10:11-16)
WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved to the resurrection of life, and they that are not saved to the resurrection of damnation (John 5:24-29; Revelation 20:11-15).
WE BELIEVE in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (John 17:20-23; Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-14; Galatians 5:16-25).
WE BELIEVE in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-16; I Corinthians 6:19-20; Galatians 5:16-25).
We Display "Colors"
BFC M/M produces and distributes a distinct and trademarked back patch with top rocker, and other materials containing its logo to those individuals who have met the requirements of and been accepted as members of BFC M/M.
The back patch and top rocker as well as all other BFC M/M logo items are and shall always remain the property of the BFC M/M.
No object, patch, shirt or other product bearing our logo can be distributed to a non-member, other than items specifically designed as “support” items.
No one is permitted to possess or wear the BFC M/M patch unless he/she is a current member in good standing.
In the event, membership privilege is suspended or terminated, the patch and all other BFC M/M items must be immediately surrendered to BFC M/M representatives.
All BFC M/M members freely agree to this policy and also agrees that BFC M/M may use whatever legal means necessary to immediately regain their property if necessary.
BFC M/M members remaining in good standing will be held harmless along with any third parties who are involved in regaining possession of BFC M/M property. The person whose patch and membership are being revoked will pay any and all costs, such as court costs, attorney fees, and all litigation expense if there is a problem in regaining BFC M/M property.
All members are to remain in agreement with this policy.
Each Member Of BFC M/M Is Responsible For Their Own Actions
Bikers for Christ (BFC) M/M will not be held responsible or liable, directly, indirectly or consequentially, for the actions of its members or other individuals.
Each individual is responsible for his/her own actions and the consequences of those actions. This particularly applies to members who backslide, break any laws, or are involved in motorcycle or vehicle accidents. All BFC M/M members agree to hold harmless the organization of BFC M/M in the event the member is involved in any problems, crimes or vehicle accidents.
BFC M/M is committed to a safe motorcycling and ministry experience and every precaution will be taken to that end, but motorcycle riding has inherent risks, and ultimately, each BFC M/M member must acknowledge his/her own limitations and his/her own responsibility in this endeavor. Accordingly, each BFC M/M member hereby agrees to hold harmless the organization of BFC M/M.
Proper Use of Social Media
No member at any time for any reason is to use social media to communicate personal opinions that are in conflict with the BFC M/M Charter or jeopardize the efficacy of BFC M/Mʼs ministries or good standing in the greater motorcycle community, that denigrate other motorcycle ministries, or mention, directly or indirectly, the name of any motorcycle club.
If in doubt… leave it out. If you are not sure, ask your leaders.
Any member who violates this trust will lose their good standing status and must surrender their BFC M/M patch and other items.
