What We Believe
Our Beliefs
Chrisadelphians seek to emulate the faith of the first-century believers in Christ. With that in mind we believe:
- The Bible is God's word and the only written message from him. It is without error, except for copying and translation errors.
- There is only one God - the Father. The Holy Spirit is God's power.
- Jesus is the Son of God, and a human being, through his mother Mary.
- Man is mortal, having no existence when dead.
- By living a sinless life, ending with his sacrificial death by crucifixion, Jesus has opened the way of salvation from death - by grace, through faith in him.
- Belief and baptism are essential steps to salvation.
- God raised Jesus from death. Jesus is currently in Heaven, on God's right hand. He will one day return.
- When Jesus returns, he will raise his "sleeping" followers from death and grant immortality to the faithful who have tried to live by God's precepts.
- His followers will help him to rule, bringing justice, righteousness and peace to the whole world - the Kingdom of God.

For further information on any particular aspect of our faith, a range of online booklets are available here.
We only ask that you consider these things with Bible in hand, and search "whether those things are so"!
