Humanity is in need of redemption; Kimbangu brings Spirit's healing ministry
The Kimbanguist Church affirms that humanity is fallen and in need of redemption from sin. All humans inherit a sinful condition that separates them from God. Kimbangu's ministry is understood as the Spirit's work of healing and liberation from this sinful state, through both spiritual transformation and practical deliverance.
