What is the RPI's relationship to other existing ministries?
RPI seeks the fellowship of other Bible-based ministers and organizations. We desire to bless them as they fulfill their call. We hope to work with each one in a spirit of cooperation, while keeping our calling to Apostolics in focus
Is there a place in the RPI for Pentecostals from non-Apostolic backgrounds?
The RPI recognizes the credibility and anointing of various Pentecostal ministers and churches who do not fully subscribe to our interpretation of Scripture on some finer points. Being committed to harmony in the Body of Christ until we all come into the unity of the faith, we open our arms to all Pentecostals.
What does the RPI believe?
We believe in the One True God, the deity of Jesus Christ, the authority of the Bible, mankind's fallen estate, salvation by faith, water baptism the Name of Jesus Christ, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, discipleship by obedience and holiness, world evangelism, healing and deliverance, the second coming of Christ, Heaven and Hell. Also see our Mission and Bylaws
When do RPI ministers and churches get together?
We meet officially twice per year; once at our annual General Conference and once at the Midwest Spiritquest conference in LaPorte, IN. These conferences serve as opportunities to transact business as well as ordain ministers, churches and ministries.
What can the RPI do for me as a minister?
Our fellowship offers three areas of affiliation. Associate License is for Pentecostal ministers that do not fully subscribe to our Statement of Faith or for those who are establishing new ministries. General License and Ordination are for those with established ministries who fully subscribe to our doctrinal statement. RPI provides a spiritual covering, accountability, support, and fellowship. We encourage education, honor experience and expect ethical conduct
