Christadelphians - Bible Believing
People
The Christadelphians are a religious group who base our
beliefs wholly on the Bible, regarding it as fully inspired by God, and
hence believe it is error free. The name "Christadelphian" was first used
in the mid-1800s, but we believe that there have been people who share our
beliefs throughout history. We are confidently waiting for Christ to
return to earth when he will set up the Kingdom of God.
The fundamental Christadelphian beliefs are:
-
The Bible is God's word and the only 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.
- 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.

Christadelphians Believe explains more about each of these key
areas, showing that they are all firmly rooted in the Bible. The Bible Our
Guide is a FAQ-style booklet that gives extensive Biblical references that
explain our point of view.
