2 The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe
Evangelical The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe It is very important for me personally to encourage non-Christians to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior Jesus Christ’s death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my sin Only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God’s free gift of eternal salvation

3 God is a perfect being and cannot make a mistake.

4 God knows everything that occurs in the world but does not determine all that happens.

5 God continues to answer specific prayers.

6 God is the author of Scripture.

7 There is one true God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

9 God accepts the worship of all religions, including Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

10 God created male and female.

11 Biblical accounts of the physical (bodily) resurrection of Jesus are completely accurate. This event actually occurred.

12 Jesus is the first and greatest being created by God.

13 Jesus is truly God and has a divine nature, and Jesus is truly man and has a human nature.

14 The Holy Spirit is a force but is not a personal being.

15 The Holy Spirit gives a spiritual new birth or new life before a person has faith.

16 The Holy Spirit is a divine being but is not equal with God the Father and Jesus.

17 Modern science discredits the claims of Christianity.

19 Everyone sins a little, but most people are good by nature.

20 People have the ability to turn to God on their own initiative.

21 Even the smallest sin deserves eternal damnation.

22 By the good deeds that I do, I partly contribute to earning my place in heaven.

23 The Bible, like all sacred writings, contains helpful accounts of ancient myths but is not literally true.

24 The Bible was written for each person to interpret as he or she chooses.

25 The Bible alone is the written word of God.

26 The Bible is 100% accurate in all that it teaches.

27 A person obtains peace with God by first taking the initiative to seek God and then God responds with grace.

28 An individual must contribute his or her own effort for personal salvation.

29 Salvation always begins with God changing a person so that he or she will turn to Him in faith.

30

31 Heaven is a place where all people will ultimately be reunited with their loved ones.

32 Hell is an eternal place of judgment where God sends all people who do not personally trust in Jesus Christ.

33 God would be fair to show His wrath against sin.

34 There will be a time when Jesus Christ returns to judge all the people who have lived.

35 Worshiping alone or with one’s family is a valid replacement for regularly attending church.

36 Churches that do not preach from the Bible should not be considered a Christian church.

37 My local church has the authority to withhold the Lord’s Supper from me and exclude me from the fellowship of the church.

38 The church should be silent on issues of politics.

39

40 There is little value in studying or reciting historical Christian creeds and confessions.

41 I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth:
Apostle’s Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hades; the third day He rose again from the dead;

42 he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God,
Apostle’s Creed he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

43 God is unconcerned with my day-to-day decisions.

44 God has authority over all people because He created human beings.

45 The Bible has the authority to tell us what we must do.

46 Humans exist to bring God glory and to enjoy Him.

47 Sex outside of traditional marriage is a sin.

48 Abortion is a sin.

49 Gender identity is a matter of choice.

50

51 God will always reward true faith with material blessings.

52 The Bible’s condemnation of homosexual behavior doesn’t apply today.

53 The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe.

54 It is very important for me personally to encourage non-Christians to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior.

55 Jesus Christ’s death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my sin.

56 Only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God’s free gift of eternal salvation.

57 Only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God’s free gift of eternal salvation.
