What We Believe and Preach

The Christadelphians are a world-wide community of Bible students whose fellowship is based on a common understanding of the Scriptures.

We have no central organization, nor a worldwide 'leadership' telling us what to do and believe. Why? Because this is not scriptural. Rather we are tied together everywhere by our distinctive beliefs, which are freely and independently arrived at by diligent Bible study.

The Christadelphians believe that Jesus the Christ is the son of God, who came to fulfill the Old Testament promises and covenants of God with mankind, primarily the Edenic, Abrahamic and Davidic covenants.

We believe that Jesus is a man, who was tried and tempted as we are, yet who resisted sin even till death. Three days later, the only true God, the Father raised him to eternal life, after which Christ ascended to his Father's side to await the appointed time of his return.

The Christadelphians embrace the hope of resurrection to eternal life at the return of Christ. We believe that this will take place soon. At that time the kingdom of God will be established from Jerusalem, growing to encompass the whole world, offering freedom, hope and salvation to all mankind. The people of Israel, as the literal descendants of Abraham, will have a special place in this kingdom.

The Christadelphians believe that salvation is attained through faith in Christ. It is through faith that we are baptized into Christ for forgiveness of sins, and thereby participate in the promises to Abraham: to inherit the earth forever.

Doctrinally, the Christadelphians are unique in Christendom in our understanding of the nature of Christ, and the way in which we are redeemed by his death. We reject as unbiblical the idea that Christ could die as a replacement sacrifice for us, thus covering all our sins forever with that one act. Certainly, it is through his sacrifice that we may be forgiven, but only if we walk the path of self-denial that he marked out for us.
