God

There is but ONE God, the Father, dwelling in heaven, who, out of His own underived

energy created heaven and earth, and all that is in them.

Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5; Mark 12:29; John 17:3; Acts 4:24; Ephesians 4:6

​

The Bible

We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God by

which He has revealed His plan and purpose with mankind.

2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; Romans 15:4

​

Man

Man is mortal, a creature of the dust and sinful by nature. Immortality is not a present

possession, but will be bestowed upon the worthy at the resurrection. In death, man is

unconscious and depends upon a resurrection for a future life.

Genesis 3:19; Ecclesiastes 3:19,20; Ecclesiastes 9:5,10; Psalm 6:5

​

Jesus

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, begotten of the virgin Mary by the power of the Holy

Spirit. He was sent into the world to save men from their sins, ‘whosever believeth on

him will not perish, but have everlasting life.’

Luke 1:35; Luke 4:18; John 14:28; John 3:16

​

The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ

Death came into the world as a result of sin. Though born into the same condition as the

rest of mankind, Jesus was sinless, living his life in perfect obedience to God. By dying

sinless, he eliminated the operation of death and was raised to life again by the power

of God. Through him we have hope of the same.

Romans 8:3,11; Hebrews 2:14, 4:14-16; Galatians 1:4; Titus 2:14; Acts 2:24

​

The Nation of Israel

One of the teachings that Christadelphians have held dear for over 150 years is that the

Jews would return to the land God had promised to their fathers Abraham, Isaac and

Jacob, before Jesus returned to the earth. We have witnessed the fulfillment of the

Biblical prophecy concerning God’s chosen people Israel becoming a nation again in

1948.

Deuteronomy 30:1-5; Ezekiel 37:15-22; Amos 9:14,15

​

The Return of Jesus

Jesus will return to the earth soon. Then he will raise from the dead those that made a

commitment to follow him, judge them with the living, and give his faithful followers

everlasting life in the Kingdom of God.

Acts 1:11; Matthew 25:31-34; Luke 21:27-32; John 5:28-29

​

The Kingdom of God

At his return, we believe Jesus will establish the Kingdom of God over the entire earth,

as he taught us to pray for, “thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in

heaven.”

Daniel 2:44; Daniel 7:27; Isaiah 11:9; Matthew 6:9-10; Revelation 21:1-4

​

The Promises

The Gospel is inseparable from the promises which God made to Abraham and David in

the Old Testament times. These promises find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

Galatians 3:6-9,16,26-29; Genesis 13:14-17; Genesis 22:15-18; 2 Samuel 7:12-16; Luke 1:31-33

 

The Way of Salvation

The way to enter the kingdom of God is by faith. This involves belief in the Bible and

obedience to its requirements that men and women confess their sins, repent, be

baptized and follow Jesus faithfully.

Hebrews 11:6; 2 Timothy 3:16; John 3:3-5; Acts 4:12; Matthew 12:24-27

​

Baptism

Baptism (a full immersion in water) into the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, after

believing in God’s plan, and a faithful walk therein, is essential for salvation. This first act

of obedience brings man into a relationship with God.

Mark 16:16; Acts 2:37-38; John 3:5

​

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the everywhere-present power of God, by which He accomplishes all

His will. By His Spirit, He created the earth and the universe, revealed Himself through

the prophets, and manifested Himself in His Son Jesus

Psalm 139:7-12; Job 26:12,13; 33:4; Nehemiah 9:30; 2 Peter 1:21; Ephesians 1:19,20

 

The Devil

The Devil is a symbol or personification of sinful human nature.

Hebrews 2:14, Hebrews 9:26
