CHERUBIM & SERAPHIM MOVEMENT CHURCH

THE DOCTRINES OF C&S MOVEMENT CHURCH WORLDWIDE

OUR BELIEFS

THE HOLY BIBLE

The Church holds unshaken faith in the Holy Bible as the word of God and in salvation through Jesus Christ, and in the Trinity in unity,.

PRAYER & FASTING

Purification by prayer and fasting, and in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Its first and primary work is that of prayer for all afflictions, spiritual and temporal, but condemns and abhors the use of charms or fetish, witchcraft or sorcery of any kind, and all heathenish, sacrifices, and practices. The church endorses the engagement of qualified Medical practitioners or Doctors, the use of patent medicines or other drugs, and practices the use of sanctified/consecrated water by prayer for every purpose (C&S Constitution Reviewed, 2008).

ANOINTING OIL

The Use of Olive Oil for Healing and Anointing. James 5:14-15,  Mark 6:12-18, Psalms 23:5, Leviticus 24:1-4, Isaiah 61:1

HOLY WATER 

The water has a type of healing power, because of the strength of baptism and the Spirit of God that dwells within it. We also believe in the use of concentrated oil, because it is backed by the Bible in James 5:14-15. Isaiah 12:3-4, Ezekiel 36:25, John 5: 2-9

OUR BELIEFS

The Church holds unshaken faith in the Holy Bible as the word of God and in salvation through Jesus Christ, and in the Trinity in unity, the use of anointing oil, purification by prayer and fasting, and in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Beliefs, Doctrines & Practices of Cherubim & Seraphim Movement Church

The C&S Movement Church is a Pentecostal Church with so many of its established practices adopted from the Bible to build and strengthen the faith of members.

There are so many who do not know anything about the Church. Yet some know but cannot relate its practices and mode of worship with the Holy Bible to confirm the truthfulness and strengthen their faith. So many people believe that C&S Movement Church is guided by St. Moses Orimolade’s law. It should however be noted that St. Moses Orimolade did not have any law. Rather, God instructed him to teach his followers His (God’s) commandments and Moses did provide guidelines so that it would be well with him and his followers. However, all these have been within the context of what Jesus Christ said in John 6:27-32, Deuteronomy 6:24-25, Exodus 19:3-8; 16:4, 1 Corinthians 1:26, and Matthew 13:11 (Agboola, 1990).
