About
New Zealand Revival Fellowship
An introduction
We are part of the international Revival Fellowship
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Revival Fellowship is an international church reviving the original Gospel message. Why does it need reviving? 2000 years of added tradition, empty ceremony, and ongoing corruption of the truth have meant that the original teachings of Christianity in the Bible have often been disregarded or distorted beyond recognition.
We believe that the instruction of Jesus to "be born again" or "born of water and of the Spirit" is the instruction to be baptised in water and to be baptised in the Holy Spirit. This baptism in the Holy Spirit, poured out by Jesus Christ upon those who believe upon him, is accompanied by the sign of speaking in tongues, as recorded in the Bible in Acts 2, 10, and 19.
As a group, we have been around under the Revival name since around the end of the Second World War, beginning in Australia and New Zealand and since spreading around the world. You can read more about our international Fellowship in our latest newsletters.
