The Christadelphian Faith

Welcome to a page dedicated to the study of the Bible and to explaining the beliefs of the Christadelphians. The name means Brethren in Christ. The objective of the Christadelphians is to get as close as possible to the Christianity of the First Century. To this effect, we have no central organisation, no clergy and most ecclesias throughout the world own no premises, but use local community centres or other public halls. A summary of our beliefs is as follows :-

• God is One, not three (Deut 6:4, John 17:3, 1 Cor 8:6, 1 Tim 2:5)
• Jesus Christ is the Son of God (not God the Son) (Luke 1:35, John 14:28, Acts 2:22, Gal 4:4)
• The Holy Spirit is God's active force, NOT a separate person (Job 33:4, Luke 1:35, Acts 8:17&19, Acts 10:38)
• Man is mortal and perishing, NOT an immortal soul (Ezek 18:4, Eccl 3:19&20, 1 Cor 15:45&54)
• The dead are unconscious, NOT alive in heaven or hell (Job 3:11&14, Psa 6:5, Psa 146:4, Eccl 9:5,6&10)
• Hell means the grave, NOT eternal torment (Gen 37:35, Job 13:14, 1 Cor 15:55)
• Jesus WILL return to earth to establish his Kingdom (Isa 2:2-4, Dan 2:44, Zeph 3:8&9, Zech 14:9, Rev 2:25-27)
• The dead will be raised at the last day (Dan 12:2, 1 Cor 15:56, 1 Thess 4:16&17)
• Christ will judge and reward those raised up, upon his return (Matt 16:27, 1 Cor 4:5, 2 Tim 4:1, 2 Thess 1:7&8, Rev 22:12)
• The righteous will live on earth for ever (Psa 37:11,22&29, Prov 11:31, Matt 5:5, Rev 5:10)
• The wicked face oblivion, not eternal torment (Psa 37:20, Ma1 4:1&3, Matt 21:41, 2 Pet 2:12)
• The Bible (as originally given to Man), is divine and infalliable (Isa 8:20, John 10:35, 2 Tim 3:16&17, 2 Pet 1:21)
• A believers baptism (total immersion) is required for salvation (Mark 16:16, Gel 3:27, Acts 8:38, Rom 6:4)
