Editing IFCA International (section)

==Beliefs==
The association sees its roots in the rejection of [[Liberal Christianity|theological modernism]] and the reaffirmation of the traditional, fundamental doctrines that it believes to underlie Biblical Christianity: [[Biblical inerrancy]], the [[virgin birth of Christ]], the [[substitutionary atonement]] of Christ, the literal resurrection of Christ, the [[Second Coming of Christ]], the eternal joy of those who are redeemed by the blood of Christ through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, and the eternal judgment of those who are unredeemed. It also holds to the pretribulation [[Rapture]] of the Church and the premillennial return of Christ to establish his 1000-year reign on earth before the eternal state.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}}

The shift to the use of initials rather than the original name reflects a rejection of much of ''[[fundamentalism]]''<ref>Gregory & Gregory (2005), p. 172</ref> and a rejection of any [[nationalist]] focus rather than a softening of its message. Nonetheless, it is doctrinally quite conservative, strongly rejecting [[ecumenism]] and what it construes as liberalism within Christianity.

===Purpose statement===
The IFCA International purpose statement is: "Enhancing the strength of the Church by equipping for, and encouraging toward, ministry partnerships to accomplish [[Great Commission]] objectives."
