 Why FGBMFI

 "What answers does the church have for men - women too - facing the really horrendous complexities of modern business? People with tremendous responsibilities, where hundreds of jobs depend on the decisions they make. I've had men like that come to me, Demos, and frankly I couldn't even understand their questions. What do I know about labor contracts and price freezes? I've had no experience in business. "

"Sure, we clergy can give comfort and counsel to a man who's down and out, but what about the man who makes it? He needs God just as much, and ministers like me don't even know the language."   

                      - Dr. Charles Price, Evangelist (from The Happiest People on Earth by Demos Shakarian)

"Just think how many more businessmen there are in the world than preachers. If businessmen should ever start to spread the gospel..."

                - Demos Shakarian, Founder of FGBMFI

  8. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Ghost, accompanied by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance, (Acts 2:4) as distinct from the new birth, and in the nine gifts of the Spirit, listed in 1 Corinthians 12, as now available to believers.
  9. We believe in the Christian's hope - the imminent, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
