Our Beliefs
The Christadelphians (which means Brethren in Christ) believe ALL Bible teachings, including:
- The Bible is the only true message from God. It was written entirely by the inspiration of His Holy Spirit power and is therefore totally reliable.
- God is One (not a Trinity). He made the world and has revealed His purpose for it.
- The Holy Spirit is the power of God, by which He works out His will.
- Jesus is Son of God, because God was his Father, AND Son of Man, being born of Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Jesus overcame ALL temptation and became a perfect sacrifice for sin. His sacrifice can deliver the faithful from sin and death.
- God raised Jesus from the dead. He ascended to heaven and will return to the earth.
- The Lord Jesus, when he returns, will judge those that are responsible, both from among the living and the dead, and give immortality to the faithful.
- He will reign from Jerusalem as king over the whole earth.
- His immortalised servants will assist in establishing righteousness and peace on the earth.
- The devil is not a supernatural being, but describes man's sinful state, "Sin in the flesh", which Christ destroyed.
- When man dies, all consciousness ceases. Deliverance is by resurrection from the dead at Christ's return.
- Belief in God's promises about His Kingdom, and the work of Jesus Christ is essential.
- Belief in God's coming Kingdom and the work of Jesus Christ; repentance from sin; adult baptism by total immersion, and following Christ's teaching and example, are all necessary for salvation.
