What is a Christian?

At Doane Rest, we can only serve Protestant Christians, in accordance with our registration with the Philippine government, and also in accordance with our mission–to provide rest to Christian missionaries, pastors, and church workers. This begs the question, what is a Christian?

According to Romans 10:9-10, “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

That is all it takes to be a Christian, and that is who we aim to serve.

Based on this simple principle, our worship of Christ alone as part of the Triune God, along with our registration being to serve only Protestant Christians, we are not able to serve other religious followers such as Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, INC, Ang Dating Daan, followers of Quiboloy, etc. We bear no ill-will towards these individuals, but rather we pray for them to simply place their faith and trust in Christ alone and accept Jesus Christ’s free, finished, and available-to-all gift of salvation.
