Note: Prospective members should read
the following statement from the FIRE Executive Board re: Charismatics
in FIRE: “FIRE is a noncharismatic association. We regard
article 2 on Holy Scripture to exclude additional revelation. While
we understand that some of our members are not certain of an absolute
cessationist position, churches and individuals which promote and
practice charismatic gifts should find ecclesiastical fellowship
in other associations which share their view on these issues.”
Step 2: We will contact you and let you know when
to proceed to Step 3.
Note: Prospective members must have a
FIRE church as a sponsor. The FIRE Executive Board asks sponsoring
churches to consider using the following document in preparing to
sponsor a prospective member: Suggestions for interviewing prospective
