INTRODUCTION

The Cherubim and Seraphim Church a.k.a UNIFICATION, an amalgamation of

the Cherubim and Seraphim members in Institutions of Higher Learning in Nigeria,
worshiping together as unified and progressive seraphs without a significant
alteration in the configuration of the Church established by God through St. Moses
Orimolade Tunolase in conjunction with Late Captain Christianah Abiodun
Emamanuel. The church, which emanated from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-
Ife (then University of Ife) in 1980, has since been growing remarkably.

Cherubim and Seraphim Church a.k.a. UNIFICATION is inter alia a denomination

that is a Primus Interpares as a result of its basic principles of religious beliefs and
practices, which are scriptural and Christ-like focused. These principles become
the fundamental truths of the Christian faith that form the doctrinal basis of the
church and they are concisely collated in what is referred to as “Tenets of Faith”.

1. THE TRINITY OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY

SPIRIT IN THE GOD HEAD:

We believe in the supremacy and sovereignty of God the father. We

recognize and accept that he created the heaven, earth, and everything for his
purpose (Deut. 6:4)

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God who came into
this world with humility and died for our sin; through His death and
resurrection, He gave us Salvation (1 Cor. 15:16-17). We believe that Christ
is the word and life from God (John 1) and in His second coming (1 Thess.
4:16-17).

It is also our belief that the Holy Spirit is the third Trinity who evolves from
the father and the Son to comfort, direct and empower man (John 14). We
recognize and accept the manifestation of Holy Spirit through the gifts of
Hoy Spirit such as wisdom, faith, healing, the working of miracles,
prophecy, discerning of spirit, diverse kinds of tongues and interpretation of
tongue etc. (1 Cor. 12:8-11), and also the fruits of the Holy Spirit as Love,
 Joy, Peace, gentleness, Longsuffering, goodness, faith, meekness and
temperance: (Gal 5:22-23).

2. THE HOLY BIBLE:

We believe in the Holy Bible as the divine inspiration of God and its final
authority in the matter of faith and conduct; all scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness (II Tim. 3:16). We therefore believe that Old
Testament provides the historical background by which we understand the
New (Luke 24:44); and that their institutions are characteristically ephemera.
New Testament that is made known through the Lord Jesus Christ is the
permanent fulfillment of the old. We therefore have faith in and live by the
diligent study of the scriptures for spiritual growth. (Eph. 5:19, Heb. 4:12)

3. A NATURAL MAN IS A SINFUL MAN:

We recognize and accept that God created man perfect, sinless and holy; and
that man fell when he disobeyed God and sinned against Him. Wherefore, as
by one-man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned (Rom 5:12). Thus, we believe in the
Universal sinfulness and guilt of all men since the fall, making men liable to
the judgment of God (Rom. 3:23) and in the Love of God shown in the
gracious provision made for redemption (Rom 3:24; 5:15-21)

4. SALVATION ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Acts 4:12, John 14:6. The grace obtained through the death and resurrection
of Christ is adequate for the salvation of all men. This is offered to all and is
intended for all who believe in Him (John 3:16). This salvation is only
 appropriate by faith in Jesus Christ (a confident trust in Him). The
incarnation and salvation of sinner is by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone
(Rom 5:1; Col. 1:13-14).

5. ETERNITY:

Just as science states that matter cannot be destroyed, so also is the human
soul. The soul lives in the body. When the body dies, the soul lives on
forever. This church believes in the Biblical theology that there are two
types of eternity. These are eternal life (heaven) and eternal condemnation
(hell) (Matt. 25:46, John5:29). Those Christians who lived in Christ, served
God in truth and in spirit, forsook sin, Satan and its works and lived their
lives in conformity with the scriptures as contained in the Holy Bible, shall
spend their eternity with God. Their job in heaven shall be to praise, adore,
and worship God forever (Rev. 7:9, Rev. 14:1-15). While those who were
hypocrites in their lifetime, who died in their sins, or who refused to accept
Christ but rather followed their carnal way of life and /or had satanic spirit
features, had the mark of the beast and anti-Christ shall spend their eternity
in the sulphric lake of fire which shall burn forever and in the bottomless pit
(Rev. 19:17-21; 20:10-15; 21:8; Matt. 25:31-46).

6. THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST:

We have fervent faith in the prophecy of the prophets of old (Zech.

12:10;9:14, Isa 27:13) and the pronouncement of Christ Jesus that in the last
days, he shall come a second time to gather all that are His unto Himself
(Matt. 24:29-35, I Thess. 4:16, Rev. 1:7, I Cor. 15:51-55). This time, not by
incarnation, but by descending and appearing in the sky. The living true
Christians shall at once ascend to meet him in the sky, but the first to rise
 shall be the dead believers. They will thereafter reign with Him for a
thousand years. We therefore live, preach and teach that everyone should
live his/her life in such a way that he/she would be qualified for this glorified
ascension (Matt.24:36-44).

7. HOLY COMMUNION:

We believe in the principle of the Holy Communion, which is the breaking

of bread and sharing of wine. This He shared to all disciples (us inclusive) at
His last super with the twelve disciples (Luke 22:19, 20; Mk14:22-24) which
he also instructed all would-be disciples to do in remembrance of Him. This
unites Christendom with Christ who is the source and foundation of His
church. But this body and blood of Christ should be shared in holiness, with
purity and oneness, if not, it will have devastating negative effect on its
partakers ( I Cor. 10:16-21, 11:17-34).

8. THE CHURCH AS THE BODY OF CHRIST

The church is the body of Jesus Christ to which all Christians belong where
there is no distinction of colour, sex, age, race or tribe and Christ is the head.
The Church is the conglomeration and fellowship of those who are in the
brotherhood of the saints. The church functionally demonstrates practical
Christianity, evangelizes the saving grace of Christ and makes all nations
disciples.
9. HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that Holy Spirit convicts of sin and empowers to become Sons of
God (John 1:12). We have faith in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit for
the building up of the body of Christ. This manifestation would be in form of
gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:7-10) and fruits of the Holy Spirit (Gal
5;22-23). Thus, we recognize and accept Pentecostalism/prophetic ministry
for the edification of our souls: proving what is acceptable unto the Lord and
having no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them. (Eph. 5:10-11).Whereas, the church does not permit going
into trance for more than a service period.

10 EVANGELISM:

We have faith in soul winning evangelism, which is our great commission.

The church witness Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith to the
world (Mark 16:15 & 20; Acts 1:8). Consequently, we adopt village
evangelism, house to house evangelism, in-door revival/sermon; open-air
revival and practical proof of what is the will of God to the World.

11. BAPTISM:

We believe in baptism by immersion (with water) in the name of the father,

the son, and the Holy Spirit (Mark 16:17). Since baptism is in accordance
with Jesus Commandment to baptize everybody that accepts him as His Lord
and saviour; repentance is therefore sine qua non to baptism. Consequently,
we prefer adult baptism to infant baptism.

12. FASTING AND PRAYER:

 We believe in the efficacy and the effectiveness of prayer as a reasonable
and acceptable means of direct communication with God. (1 Thess 5:17; Act
2:42).We believe that fasting is catalysis for miracles; spiritual success:
prayer and victory over Satan (Matt. 4”1-11). “And he said unto them, this
kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting” (Mark 9:29)

13. CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE:

We accept and recognize the institution of marriage as ordained by the Lord

from the beginning of the world. “And the rib, which the Lord God had
taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto man….Therefore
shall man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and
they shall be one flesh. “(Gen. 2:24, Matt. 19:4-6). Therefore, we prefer and
preach monogamy type of marriage. God warns that marriage should be
Honourable and Holy.

14. CHRISTIAN INTEGRITY:

We vehemently denounce and oppose to membership of secret or/and satanic

Society and all forms of unequal yoke with unbelievers. (Matt. 6:24)
Holiness is our watchword.

15. AGAPE LOVE:

We seriously encourage love towards God and our neighbours as God has
rightly commanded (Matt. 22:37-39). The church encourages the
congregation to desire the welfare of all men in every area of life. Christians
are expected to have forgiving spirit. (2 Cor. 6:14)

16. PRACTICES IN LENTEN PERIOD:

 We recognize and accept that the church shall observe Lenten season (with
the universal Church) that starts from Ash Wednesday and ends on Saturday
preceding Easter Sunday; A period for sober reflection and self appraisal
whereby all fun-fair are reduced to minimal level (Ecl. 3:1) provided the
following shall be observed then:

(a) Fasting and Prayer (Mark 9:29)

(b) All services shall be conducted solemnly; that is,

No Clapping

No Drumming

No Shouting of Halleluja or / and salvation (Iye) except glory (Ogo); and

no celebration of social events like wedding or elaborate naming
ceremony.

(c) Most importantly, as expected of us always, we shall present our selves

as living sacrifice and acceptable unto the living God (Room 12:1)

17 UNIFORM:

We recognize white garment and white girdle as the only acceptable

dressing mode (Matt. 17:2) provided that choristers shall have blue cape and
put on blue girdle together with blue caps (only female members shall put on
white cap in the church premises) and levites cape shall also have blue tape.
(Acts 1:10, Rev. 4:4).
18. NORMS AND PRACTICES

(a) We believe in the sanctification of water and anointing with oil for
blessing and healing (James 5:14)

(b) The Altar: We recognize and accept lighting of the altar which may
be with white girdle candle or bulb, representing the spirit of God
(revelation 4:5) and the light of the world who is Christ (John
8:12,1:4)

(c) We recognize and accept the use of incense (Rev. 5:8)

(d) Nobody shall put on/wear footwear or shoe in the church premises

(e) Because of the white clothes which could be stained if not properly
taken care of, female members shall be in mufti or abstain from place
of worship if she wishes so during their menstrual period (Rom.
14:13-23)

(f) Female members shall cover their heads while male members shall
not whenever they are in the church premises/services.

(g) We shall present ourselves as living sacrifices to the living God (Rom
12:1)

19. MODE OF WORSHIP:

Much emphasis is basically laid in this church on our spiritual and

reasonable worship, which commences with presenting our bodies as living
sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God Almighty, (Roman 12:1).
Moreover, the beautiful and unique way we worship in the Cherubim and
Seraphim Church (a.k.a) Unification is also of importance and reasonable
recognition. The mode of worship is as follows:

(a) Uniform Services: We shall all adopt the order of the services as
provided in our approved program of services, thus we have uniform
services in various chapters and centres (Matt. 18:19) as in the article
of worship.

(b) There shall be an altar together with light in front. The leader of
service who shall be a male member where both sex are worshiping
together shall face the altar; when the congregation stands he shall
stand and when the congregation sits down; he can sit down on the
floor if he so wishes (also facing the altar).

(c ) On each service day, before the commencement of the service, there

shall be sanctification of the venue of worship with Psalm 24, four
male elders at the four(4) Corners of the church shall say the prayer.

(d) Three male members (in fasting when it is a vigil service) shall pray
for the leader of service before the commencement of the service.

(e) The place of worship should be kept holy at all times.

(f) Central Executive Council, Central administration members and any

other invited elders(s) shall sit at the altar, therefore facing the
congregation; Chairman shall sit at the nearest seat to the altar on the
left-hand side (While facing the altar). This is only during
anniversaries and other special occasions. On all other regular
services, only the leader of service shall be at the altar.
 Subject to the availability of chairs and space, chapters shall make
permanent sitting arrangement for the choir. They shall sit at the right
hand side (that is, right side on entering the church, which is in front
of male members)

(g) All members shall be in prayer gowns/garments. However, members

without garments shall sit at the back of both sides — male and
female seats.

(h) We shall offer unto God as sacrifice of praise; clapping, dancing,

praising God through hymns, spiritual songs and psalms (Luke 2; 13-
14, Eph. 3:16)
