As an extension of the Core Beliefs of the Christian Evangelical Church, (again as I understand them), this is a discussion in comparrison to the Bible. I'm waiting for someone from one of the Evangelical churches to inform or confirm this hopefully scripturally supported by using the Bible.
1. Belief in being Born again or Saved =
2. Belief that The Bible is literal and is the final word on all matters =
3. Belief that Salvation is through Faith alone =
4. Belief that People can do nothing to earn their way to heaven =
4. Belief that they are motivated to preach share the gospel either one-on-one or through organized missions. =
5. Belief in a Rapture =
6. Belief in Leaving non-members to "suffer on earth" after this Rapture to "suffer alone" on the earth. =
7. Believes in the Trinity; =
8. Believes in atonement through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ; =
9. Believes something about the original sin; (but I'm not really sure what) =
10. Believes that Christ as head of the church and the local church's right to self-government. But I'm not sure what is meant by "self-government". =
11. Believes in the personal and imminent or literal return of Christ; (I'm not sure, but I think this might mean that they think he will return in a human body?) =
12. Believes that Sundays have some sort of a special connotation. =
13. Believes in Tithing, =
14. Believes that it is a scriptural responsibility to help the poor. =
15. Believes that it is a scriptural responsibility to protecting the environment =
Also I don't know what they believe on:
1. What is God's Kingdom?
2. What is God's name?
3. What is His purpose for the Earth?
4. Is God causing the suffering currently being experienced on the Earth?
5. What happens when a person dies?
6. Who is Jesus?
7. Does God have an earthly organization?
8. What hope is there for the dead?
9. What is this "Good News" that Matthew 24:14 and Mark 13:10 speaks about?
10. What is "The Great Tribulation?"
11. Why did Jesus die?
12. If Jesus was resurrected, what is he doing now?
13. Can the dead speak to us? and can we communicate with them?
14. Why did Jesus resurrect Lazarus from the dead if he only was to die again?
15. How did evil begin?
These are just a few questions I'd like you to give me scriptural answers for according to your belief.
