Thailand

Description

Thailand is one of Asia’s 49 countries. Bangkok is the country’s capital and largest metropolis. The country’s business and industrial hub.

This country was once called Siam. Prathet Thai was renamed in 1939 and 1949. Thailand means “free” and “country” in Prathet, an ethnic group that found its freedom more than two millennia ago, having arrived in this region fleeing from the Chinese. 75% of the population is Thai, 14% is Chinese, and 3% is Malay; the rest are Mons, Khmers, and hill tribes.

Thailand’s economy grew from 1985 to 1996. It’s a newly industrialized exporter. Tourism boosts the economy. Inequality is widespread. This property draws expatriates from underdeveloped nations, which may explain why Thailand has 2.2 million immigrants.

Thai law doesn’t recognize a state religion. The government guarantees religious freedom, and the government generally protects it. The country doesn’t register new religious groupings that haven’t been admitted into a religious governing body for doctrinal or other reasons. Registration is long and complicated.

Besides, unregistered religious groups are not hindered in their purpose because the government does not recognize new religious organizations and does not interfere with their operations.

However, the government limits the number of registered foreign missionaries in the country. Unregistered missionaries live and work freely in the country. So far, no widespread claims of religious maltreatment or discrimination have been received.

Each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.

We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship.

We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “until He comes,” the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that righteous living, good works and proper social concern are essential products of the gospel.

We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God.

We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His high priestly intercession for His people and His personal, visible return to the world according to His promise.
