THE DOCTRINE
Christian Church/ Church of Christ is quite conservative regarding teachings of the Bible, or Church doctrine. While we allow for individual opinions on many subjects, but we believe that certain doctrines are essential to both becoming and remaining a Christian. These doctrines include, but are not limited to the following:
The Bible as the complete, infallible, and inspired Word of God (II Timothy 3:16)
God, our loving just Father, is the supreme Ruler of all the Universe for all eternity (Genesis 1:1)
Jesus is the Christ (Matthew 16:16)
The Incarnate Son of God (John 1:14)
Born of a virgin (Matthew 1:25)
Lived a sinless life (Hebrews 4:15).
Died on the cross and received God's punishment for the sins of mankind (I Peter 2:24)
Was buried and rose from the dead on the third day both physically and spiritually (I Corinthians 15:3-4)
Is now in Heaven with His Father, but will return to gather the Church into eternal life in Heaven (John 14:2-3) and send the wicked to eternal punishment in Hell (Matthew 25:46)
God's plan for our salvation is to:
Believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son (Mark 16:16)
Repent (turn away from) your sins (Acts 2:38)
Confess Christ's Name (Romans 10:9-10)
Be Baptized into Christ by immersion (Acts 2:38)
Be Faithful to Him throughout your life (Revelation 2:10)
The Holy Spirit will regenerate any person who obeys this plan of salvation (John 3:5) and will indwell in that person (John 14:16). Since we believe in the complete truth of these key doctrines, we are uncompromising on them as being God's revealed truth to His people (Galatians 1:8).
