Beliefs
The core belief of the New Tribes Mission is, "Sola Scriptura," accompanied by a historical-grammatical hermeneutic in interpreting said Scriptures. This emphasis on, "word by word inspiration," leads to literal belief, "in the fall of man, resulting in his complete and universal separation from God and his need of salvation;" those who die unsaved go to, "unending punishment" (hence the mandate to evangelize those without access to the gospel). Additionally, NTM is a dispensational organization, subscribing to the, "imminent...pretribulation and pre-millennial return," of Jesus Christ to earth.

Famous quotes containing the word beliefs:
“The methodological advice to interpret in a way that optimizes agreement should not be conceived as resting on a charitable assumption about human intelligence that might turn out to be false. If we cannot find a way to interpret the utterances and other behaviour of a creature as revealing a set of beliefs largely consistent and true by our standards, we have no reason to count that creature as rational, as having beliefs, or as saying anything.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
“All beliefs are bald ideas.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
“To a first approximation, the intentional strategy consists of treating the object whose behavior you want to predict as a rational agent with beliefs and desires and other mental states exhibiting what Brentano and others call intentionality.”
—Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)
