Our STORY
Margret Faith Edlinger grew up in a Christian household with loving parents who raised her to follow the Lord. When the doors to church were open, she was there. Over time, however, her love for God grew dim. Even though she was physically in the church, her heart was not there. It was far away. As a result, she sank into depression and anxiety. She questioned her worth and value and blamed God for her struggles. She believed a lie that no one loved her or cared about her, despite the loving friends and family that surrounded her.
In January of 2020, Jesus encountered her, and she would never be the same. She understood that God was not to blame — the devil was. She was not alone. She realized that God loved and cared for her and that the people around her did, too. As she pressed on to know the Lord, she felt a call into full-time evangelism. She trained with Revival Today Bible Institute from 2023 to 2025 and graduated in May 2025.
Margret Faith Ministries was founded in 2025 to preach the Gospel to the world.
Tenets of Faith
-
There is one true God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and co-eternal, each distinct in person yet one in essence and purpose. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and is the full revelation of God in human form. The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, empowering and guiding believers into all truth.
(Matthew 28:19, John 1:1-3, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Colossians 2:9, Deuteronomy 6:4, John 14:16-17)
-
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, given by the Holy Spirit to holy men who wrote as they were moved by Him. It is infallible, authoritative, and the final rule of faith and conduct for all believers. The Word of God is living and active, able to guide, correct, and equip the believer for every good work. It is eternal and will never pass away, standing as the ultimate source of truth in all matters of faith and life.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 119:105, Isaiah 40:8)
-
Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin through disobedience, resulting in separation from God and the manifestation of physical and spiritual death. Because of this, all have sinned and are in need of salvation. Redemption comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, who shed His blood on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for sin. Through repentance and faith in Him, man is restored to right relationship with God and to eternal life. Salvation is a gift of grace and not earned by works, but it leads to a transformed life in Christ.
(Genesis 3:1-19, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12-21, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, 1 John 1:9)
-
Salvation is available to all people, and God desires that no one should perish but that all should come to repentance. While God, in His foreknowledge, knows who will accept Him, He does not predestine individuals to be saved or condemned. Every person has the free will to choose Christ or reject Him. The Gospel invitation is open to everyone, and whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. God's grace extends to all, but each person must personally respond in faith to receive salvation.
(2 Peter 3:9, John 3:16, Romans 10:13, Deuteronomy 30:19, Joshua 24:15, 1 Timothy 2:3-4)
-
Hell is a real and eternal place of judgment for those who reject Christ. It is a place of separation from God, where the unrighteous will experience everlasting punishment. Hell was not created for men, but for the fallen angels who followed Satan in his rebellion against God. So, God desires that no one should perish but that all would come to repentance, and He has made salvation available through Jesus Christ. The reality of hell should compel believers to share the Gospel urgently.
(Matthew 25:46, Luke 16:22-24, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, Revelation 20:15, Mark 9:43-48, Proverbs 15:24)
-
Sanctification is the process by which believers are set apart for God’s purposes and conformed to the image of Christ. It is both an immediate work of grace and a lifelong journey of spiritual growth. Through the Word, the Holy Spirit, and personal discipline, believers are called to live holy lives, reflecting God’s character. Holiness is not an option but a requirement for those who desire to see the Lord. Therefore, a believer can lose the gift of salvation if they neglect the command to live holy and choose instead to seek after the desires of the flesh.
(John 17:17, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4, Romans 12:1-2, Hebrews 12:14, 2 Corinthians 7:1, Galatians 5:16, 1 Peter 1:13-16, James 2:17)
-
The rapture of the Church is the imminent and blessed hope of all believers, occurring before the seven-year tribulation. Jesus will descend from heaven with a shout, and the dead in Christ will rise first, followed by those who are alive and remain, who will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. This event will take place before God’s wrath is poured out upon the earth, sparing believers from the coming judgment. The Church is called to live in readiness, watching and waiting for Christ’s return, knowing that it could happen at any moment.
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, Revelation 3:10, Titus 2:13, Matthew 24:36-44, 1 Thessalonians 5:9)
-
Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to gather His Church and establish His reign on the earth. His second coming will be marked by justice, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the establishment of His eternal kingdom. Believers are called to live in readiness, eagerly awaiting His return and remaining faithful to His calling. No one knows the exact day or hour, but the signs of His coming are evident, and His return will be sudden and glorious.
(Matthew 24:30-31, Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Revelation 19:11-16, 2 Peter 3:10, 1 Corinthians 15:52)
-
There will be a bodily resurrection of the righteous at the return of Christ. Those who have died in Christ will rise first, followed by those who are alive in Him, to receive glorified bodies and eternal life. The righteous will dwell forever in the presence of God, reigning with Christ in His eternal kingdom. Therefore, believers must live holy and faithful lives, knowing that their labor in the Lord is not in vain.
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, Revelation 20:6, Daniel 12:2, John 5:28-29, Philippians 3:20-21)
-
The Great Commission is the mandate given by God for all believers to preach the Gospel to every nation, making disciples of all people. Evangelism is an urgent and essential work, as faith comes by hearing the Word of God. The Church is called to reach the lost, both locally and globally, demonstrating the love of Christ and leading people to salvation. Sharing the Gospel is not optional but a responsibility given by Christ to every believer.
(Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Romans 10:14-15, Acts 1:8, 2 Timothy 4:2, 1 Corinthians 9:16)
-
The Church is the body of Christ, increased by the work of the ministry, and is essential to the spiritual, moral, and social facets of society. It is called to preach the Gospel, disciple believers, care for the needy, and be a light to the world. The work of ministry is vital and should not be neglected, as it is the means by which the Kingdom of God advances on earth. The Church is also the pillar and foundation of truth, preserving and proclaiming God’s Word.
(Hebrews 10:25, Ephesians 4:11-13, Matthew 16:18, Acts 2:42-47, 1 Timothy 3:15, Colossians 1:18)
-
God confirms His Word through signs, wonders, and miracles, which serve as a testimony to His power and presence. These manifestations include healings, deliverance, supernatural provision, and the Gifts of the Spirit operating in the Church today. Signs and wonders follow everyone who believes and proclaims the Gospel, demonstrating the kingdom of God on earth. God has not changed, and He continues to work through His people today as He did in the early Church.
(Mark 16:17-18, Hebrews 2:4, Acts 2:43, Acts 5:12, John 14:12, Romans 15:19)
-
Water baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation, symbolizing the believer’s identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is an act of obedience to Christ’s command and a public declaration of faith. Baptism does not save, but it is a step of obedience that signifies a believer’s new life in Christ. It also serves as a testimony to the world that the believer has died to sin and risen in Christ.
(Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12, 1 Peter 3:21, Galatians 3:27)
-
The baptism in the Holy Ghost is a distinct and subsequent experience to salvation, empowering believers for witness and service. This baptism is often accompanied by the evidence of speaking in tongues and the operation of spiritual gifts. It enables believers to walk in greater boldness, wisdom, and power for everyday life and ministry. The Holy Spirit is not limited to the first apostles or to those currently graced with the ministry gifts, but it is given to teach, comfort, and strengthen all believers in their walk with Christ.
(Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 10:44-46, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, John 14:26, Jude 1:20, Acts 2:38-39, Acts 19:6)
-
Divine healing is provided through the atoning work of Jesus Christ and is available to all who believe. God heals through faith, prayer, the laying on of hands, and His supernatural power. Through the unction of the Holy Spirit, God graces believers whom He wills with specific spiritual gifts to perform all types of healings and miracles. God’s ability to heal did not dissipate at the death of the last apostle. God works miracles today. Jesus demonstrated healing as a part of His earthly ministry, and this continues through the Church as a sign of the Kingdom of God. Healing is not only for physical ailments but also for emotional, mental, and spiritual restoration.
(Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 8:16-17, James 5:14-15, Mark 16:17-18, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Exodus 15:26, Psalm 103:2-3)
-
God has established distinct yet complementary roles for men and women in both life and ministry. Men are called to be spiritual leaders in their homes, while women play vital roles in nurturing, teaching, and training their children in their households. In marriage, a wife must submit to her husband. Both men and women are essential to the work of ministry, and each must function within their God-given role to reflect His order and glory. Women are not to be restrained from the work of the Great Commission or from pulpit ministry as they have also been called by God to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
(1 Corinthians 11:3, Ephesians 5:22-23, Titus 2:3-5, Acts 2:17-18, Romans 16:1-2, Judges 4:4-5, Matthew 28:5-10)
-
God created mankind in His image, male and female, with distinct and complementary roles. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God for companionship, procreation, and the reflection of Christ’s relationship with the Church. Any deviation from God’s design for gender and sexuality is contrary to His will and biblical truth. Believers are called to uphold and live by God’s standard, teaching the truth in love while maintaining a firm stance on biblical morality.
(Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Ephesians 5:31-32)
