Doctrines
Christadelphians Believe and Teach
(pdf)
-
That the Bible is
the only source now extant of knowledge concerning God and His purposes, and
it was wholly given by the unerring inspiration of God in the writers, and
that such errors as have since crept in are due to transcription or
translation. (II Peter 1:20-21, II Timothy 3:15-16)
-
That there is but
ONE God, the Father, dwelling in heaven, who, out of His own underived
energy created heaven and earth, and all that in them is. (Deuteronomy 6:4)
That Jesus Christ is the Son of God (not "God the Son", a phrase not found
in scripture), begotten of the virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit.
-
That God is
omnipresent by the means of His spirit flowing out from His personal
presence. This spirit power is universal in upholding all things in the
natural world. For the performance of work that is supernatural and sacred
the same spirit by special concentration of the Divine Will becomes Holy
Spirit for the holy or sacred work determined to be done.
-
That man is
mortal, a creature of the dust. Immortality is not a present possession, but
will be bestowed upon the worthy at the resurrection. (Genesis 2:7)
-
That man in death
is unconscious, and depends upon a resurrection for a future life.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6)
-
That death came
into the world through the disobedience of one man. "Wherefore as by one man
sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all
men, in whom all have sinned". (Romans 5:12)
-
That as death
came into the world through sin, it can only be abolished through the
righteousness of one who was raised up in the condemned race of Adam, in the
line of Abraham and David, who though wearing the condemned nature was to
obtain a title to resurrection by perfect obedience, and by dying abrogate
the law of condemnation for HIMSELF, and all who should believe and obey
him.
-
That at the
appearing of Christ prior to the establishment of the Kingdom, the
responsible (faithful and unfaithful), dead and living of both classes, will
be summoned before his judgment seat "to be judged according to their
works," "and receive in body according to what they have done, whether it be
good or bad."
-
That the gospel
concerns the "Kingdom of God" (for the establishment of which Christ taught
his disciples to pray, and of which the prophet Daniel says, "the God of
heaven shall set up"), and the "Things concerning the Name of Jesus Christ,"
a knowledge and adherence to which are necessary for salvation. (Acts 8:12)
-
That the Kingdom
when established will be the kingdom of Israel restored, in the territory it
formerly occupied, viz, the land bequeathed to Abraham and his seed (the
Christ), by covenant.
-
That baptism into
the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, after knowledge of God's plan, and a
faithful walk therein, is essential to salvation.
-
In addition to
the above twelve doctrines it should be recognized that the Christadelphians
believe that the commandments of Christ must determine our behavior and
attitudes in all aspects of our lives, and we stress that it is increasingly
needful to be governed by them in these perilous last days of gross
immorality. We therefore recommend that all brethren of Christ give
attention to these commandments and consistently use them as their standard
of conduct.
