The Christian Doctrine

Introduction To Systematic Theology

June 1, 2010 • Neil Gallagher • Luke 1:1–4

It's not only important WHO you believe in, it's also important WHAT you believe about the WHO you believe in.  What we believe about him determines the Jesus we believe in.  It's not doctrine but people and the way they handle doctrine that divides the church.

Basic Doctrine

February 5, 2008 • Chip Kawalsingh

It is necessary that Christians be taught sound Bible doctrine and that all doctrine be tested by the full context of the infallible Word of God. This works inline with the formula of systematic theology. Doctrine received, believed and practised determines a person's character, behaviour and destiny.

The Doctrine of Revelation

June 22, 2010 • Paul Goffin • Job 11:7, 1 Corinthians 1:21

God desires to reveal Himself to all of mankind. God creating man with mental and spiritual faculties which can lead man towards a search for God.  However, since the fall of man, these mental and spiritual faculties have been blunted so mankind needs to be lead to God.  Thus God, in grace and love, has taken the initiative by giving a progressive revelation of Himself through Jesus.  Man can only personally know God through Jesus.

The Doctrine of Existence of God

April 13, 2010 • Paul Goffin • Hebrews 11:6, Genesis 1:1

The Scriptures give us the revelation of the eternal Godhead, who has revealed Himself as one God, existing in three Persons, even the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible in essence; co-eternal, co-existent, co-equal in nature, attributes, power and glory.  There is but one eternal Godhead, who is one undivided and indivisible essence; and in this one essence there are three eternal distinctions, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
