It regenerates a believer unto salvation, and…

There are many things that people believe Christians are, and it defers from denomination to denomination. Being a Christian does not mean that you are going to get everything right, it does not mean that you are never going to sin again, or even that you are holier than anyone.

It does not mean that you must go to church, pay tithes…

Unitarians This 19th century movement began in Boston, USA, with the attempt by William Channing to preach a ‘’Unitarian Christianity.’’ This was to make the faith ‘’reasonable’’ by rejecting all miraculous elements of the New Testament and of Christian doctrine. Thus the Trinity is rejected because if God is one then God is not three; if Jesus is a man, he cannot also be God.

Baptism is a Christian sacrament of admission and adoption, almost invariably with the use of water, into the Christian Church generally. The canonical Gospels report that Jesus was baptized—a historical event to which a high degree of certainty can be assigned. Baptism has been called a sacrament and an ordinance of Jesus Christ. In some denominations, baptism is also called christening, but for others the word "christening" is reserved for the baptism of infants. Baptism has also given its…

one Church, in unity, undivided. So it stands there can only be one true Church, "which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Tim 3:15). The announcement of the Kingdom of God by Our Lord was the beginning of the Christian Church, a new Heaven and a new Earth.” In the following paper I will explain factors that contributed to the split between the Eastern and Western church known as the Great Schism. I will also explain how as a result of the Great Schism, the…

Creed and Apostles' Creed as containing the core tenets of the Christian faith. and many congregations recite one or the other weekly in their worship services.
