Who
are the Christadelphians?
Christadelphians
are a body of Christians who try to base their beliefs and
practices wholly on the Bible, which they regard as God's
word. They try therefore to rid themselves of the various
ideas and rituals which have attached themselves to Christianity
over the last 2,000 years and to return to the beliefs and
practices of the first century apostles.
The
Christadelphians are a community without the trappings of
elaborate buildings, priests or icons, but with a deep respect
for God's word and a strong sense of family and fellowship.
Christadelphians
believe that Jesus Christ, although a man, was the Son of
God. Because he led a sinless life, God raised him from
the dead and exalted him to a place of honour by his side.
God has promised that all those who put their faith in Jesus
will also be raised from the dead - when Jesus returns to
the earth to rule over it in peace and righteousness.
Christadelphians
try to live their lives in accordance with Jesus' commands
- including the following:
"Go
into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
He who believes and is baptised will be saved; but he who
does not believe will be condemned." (Mark 16:15-16)
