Christian Doctrine
bible1.gif

The foundation  of Christianity is built upon correct doctrines. Some follow bad doctrines (or heresy) while others follow good Christian doctrine. We will present here the correct biblical doctrines. The bad doctrines can be found in the Church Heresy section.


  • Conversion  ( 1 items )
    Conversion is the turning of a sinner to God (Acts 15:3). In a general sense the heathen are said to be "converted" when they abandon heathenism and embrace the Christian faith; and in a more special sense men are converted when, by the influence of divine grace in their souls, their whole life is changed, old things pass away, and all things become new (Acts 26:18). Thus we speak of the conversion of the Philippian jailer (16:19-34), of Paul (9:1-22), of the Ethiopian treasurer (8:26-40), of Cornelius (10), of Lydia (16:13-15), and others

  • Divine Judgment  ( 2 items )
    A time in which all the dead and alive will stand before God's Judgment Seat and and give account of his life which will determine their eternal destiny.

  • Election  ( 1 items )
    Election is God's eternal decree to choose from sinners deserving condemnation those whom He will Save, providing Salvation through Christ and the Holy Spirit.

  • Grace  ( 2 items )
    Grace, a central concept in Christian theology, refers to God's granting Salvation not in reward for the moral worth of the human but as a free and undeserved gift of love. This concept stands opposed, therefore, to any notion that salvation can be earned by human effort apart from God's help.

  • Hell  ( 3 items )
    The final destination after God's judgment of those who have died in their sins.

  • Jesus  ( 5 items )
    Jesus, or Jeshua ben Joseph, as he was known to his contemporaries, was a Jew who appeared as a prophet, a teacher, and a sage in Palestine about AD 30. His followers believed him to be the Messiah of Israel, the one in whom God had acted definitively for the salvation of his people (hence, the title Christ, a Greek rendition of the Hebrew Meshiah, meaning "anointed one"). This belief took distinctive form when, after the execution of Jesus by the Romans (acting on the recommendation of the Jewish authorities), he presented himself alive to some of his followers.

  • Justification by Faith  ( 1 items )
    In Christianity, salvation is variously conceived. One prominent conception emphasizes justification--the process through which the individual, alienated from God by sin, is reconciled to God and reckoned just or righteous through faith in Christ.

  • Millennialism  ( 3 items )
    In its narrowest sense millenarianism refers to belief in the Second Coming Of Christ and the establishment of his kingdom on earth as predicted in the Book of Revelation. More generally, the term refers to any religious movement that prophesies the imminent destruction of the present order and the establishment of a new order, usually reversing the relative status of the oppressed and the oppressor.

  • Predestination  ( 2 items )
    Predestination is a Christian doctrine according to which a person's ultimate destiny, whether it be salvation or damnation, is determined by God alone prior to, and apart from, any worth or merit on the person's part. In some cases, it is claimed that God only determines those

  • Propitiation  ( 1 items )
    The doctrine which Christ took our place for our judgment and died for our sins and then becoming our Counselor when we appear before God at the Judgment.

  • Regeneration  ( 1 items )
    Regeneration is the spiritual change wrought in the heart of man by the Holy Spirit in which his/her inherently sinful nature is changed so that he/she can respond to God in Faith, and live in accordance with His Will (Matt. 19:28; John 3:3,5,7; Titus 3:5). It extends to the whole nature of man, altering his governing disposition, illuminating his mind, freeing his will, and renewing his nature.

  • Resurrection  ( 2 items )
    In Christianity, the central belief is the resurrection of  of Jesus Christ.  The hope of the resurrected life was the type of hope that passed into early Christian thought centered on the transformation of human life from the dead into a transcendental mode of existence. This was expressed poetically as "shining like the stars in heaven" (Dan. 12:3) or becoming "like the angels" (Mark 12:25).

  • Salvation  ( 5 items )
    The process through which the individual, alienated from God by sin, is reconciled to God and reckoned just or righteous through faith in Christ.

  • Sanctification  ( 1 items )
    Sanctification involves more than a mere moral reformation of character, brought about by the power of the truth: it is the work of the Holy Spirit bringing the whole nature more and more under the influences of the new gracious principles implanted in the soul in regeneration. In other words, sanctification is the carrying on to perfection the work begun in regeneration, and it extends to the whole man (Rom. 6:13; 2 Cor. 4:6; Col. 3:10; 1 John 4:7; 1 Cor. 6:19). It is the special office of the Holy Spirit in the plan of redemption to carry on this work (1 Cor. 6: 11; 2 Thess. 2:13)

  • Satan  ( 1 items )
    Satan is presented as a distinct personality of darkness and accusation - the heavenly prosecutor. A fuller expression of his role is presented in the New Testament, where he is called "the tempter," "the slanderer," "the enemy," "the liar," and "the angel of the bottomless pit." Collectively, these titles present Satan as the one who has the power of death, rules with lies and deception, accuses humankind before God, and opposes the purpose of God in the world (while remaining obedient to God).

  • Trinity  ( 6 items )
    The Trinity refers to the Christian understanding of God as a unity of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All are equally God and so one, each sharing in the divine attributes of ultimacy, eternity, and changelessness; yet they are distinguishable in their relations to each other and in their roles within creaturely and human life and destiny.
