What
Christadelphians Believe, continued
|
Discipleship
- That following baptism, a believer must make a reasonable
attempt to obey the teaching of Christ and the Apostles by developing
Christ-like characteristics and lifestyle. Baptised believers
have a duty to meet with other brothers and sisters of similar
belief - to regularly break bread and drink wine in memory of
Christ's sacrifice. To pray, read and study the Bible together
and to preach the Gospel to others.
Unless other people hold the same beliefs as outlined above,
we are not at liberty to worship and share in fellowship with
them. Those who cease to believe or practice the truth as defined
and described in the Bible cease to be in fellowship with the
body of true believers. |
Organisation
- Christadelphians are a community of ordinary men and women
who have read the Bible, believe its teaching and try to obey
its demands. We do not have any central authority or committee
structure, we seek to hold faith without distinction as to race
or class, and without bishops or clergy, we worship and witness
in a simple and consistent way. We do not observe any day or
feasts other than the breaking of bread each week, nor do we
practice rituals other than baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We believe in a lifestyle which reflects our faith - marriage
and family life are important, care for those in need and a
commitment to sound principles in all aspects of life will hopefully
characterise our discipleship.
Christadelphians do not become involved in politics and associated
activities as they see themselves as temporary citizens of this
world - responsible and law-abiding but believing that the present
constitution is temporary and that involvement in such organisation
is incompatible with the hope of the coming Kingdom. |
| Christadelphians
are committed to Bible reading and study, to prayer and to fellowship.
To preaching and preparation for the return of Jesus Christ.
We ask you to consider these things that you may also share
in our fellowship by belief, baptism and a 'new life in Christ'
to enable you to prepare for the return of Jesus from heaven
to earth.
