A Christian Must Believe:
That The Bible IS the Word of God, not that it merely CONTAINS the Word of God (2Tim. 3:16; Heb. 4:12; 2Pet. 1:16-21).

That God created all material and spiritual substance out of which He personally formed the worlds and each creature therein (Gen. 1:1; 2:7, 19; Ps. 8; 102:25; Jn. 1:3-4; Eph. 3:9; Col. 1:15-18; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 4:11).

That God created man in His own image and likeness in one day, fully mature and highly intelligent--not that he descended from molecules through the lower forms of life to monkey and man (Gen. 1:26-28; 2:7,19; 9:6; Acts 17:26; 1Cor. 11:7-9; Jas. 3:9).

That all angels and spirit beings were created by God fully mature and intelligent (Ps. 104:4; Ezek. 28:15; Col. 1:15-18; Rev. 4:11).

That God created man, animals, fish, fowl, and plants to reproduce themselves after their own kind (Gen. 1:20-31; 2:5-7,19-25).

That Jesus Christ is the Son of God in a sense that no other man is--the only begotten of the Father--not a Son of God in the sense that all human beings are (Gen. 3:15; Isa. 7:14; 9:6-7; Mt. 1:18-25; Lk. 1:34-35; Jn. 1:18; 3:16; Php. 2:5-11; 1Tim. 3:16; Heb. 1:1-3,8; Rev. 1:8-11).

That the Holy Spirit is a person, separate and distinct from both the Father and the Son. All three persons have their own personal body, soul, and spirit and make the Divine Trinity (1Jn. 5:7; see The Trinity.

That the birth of Christ was supernatural, not natural as that of all other men. He was born of a virgin and by the Holy Spirit, without a human father (Gen. 3:15; Isa. 7:14; 9:6-7; Mt. 1:18-25; Lk. 1:34-35; Jn. 1:1-14; 3:16-18; 1Tim. 3:16; Heb. 1:1-3).

That the death of Christ was expiatory, not exemplary. He died for all human beings. His blood is the only atonement for sin and by His stripes we are healed (Isa. 53; Mt. 1:21; 8:17; 26:28; Jn. 3:16; Acts 4:12; Rom. 8:3; 1Cor. 1:18-24; 5:7; Heb. 1:3; 2:9-18; 9:11-28; 10:5-29; 1Pet. 2:24; 1Jn. 2:1-2; Rev. 1:5; 5:8-10).

That Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead, not spiritually. He is alive forevermore in His earthly, resurrected flesh-and-bone body and represents people before God as their High Priest and Savior (Lk. 24:39; Jn. 10:17-18; Acts 1:3,11; 2:22-34; 4:10-12; Rom. 1:4; 8:11; 1Cor. 15; 1Th. 4:13-16; Php. 3:20-21; Rev. 1:18; Zech. 13:6).

That Jesus Christ ascended into glory bodily and will come again in like manner to rule the world eternally, putting down all rebellion and restoring man’s dominion and God’s kingdom as before the fall (Lk. 24:50-52; Acts 1:11; 1Cor. 15:24-28; 2Th. 1:7-10; Jude 1; Rev. 19:11-21; Zech. 14).

That man is not an unfortunate victim of his environment, but a sinner fallen from original righteousness--a high, intelligent and responsible place as head of the present creation. Apart from God’s redemption grace is lost (Gen. 3; Jn. 3:16; Rom. 3:23-25; 5:12-21; Heb. 1:1-3; 7:25; 9:22; 1Jn. 1:9; 2:1-2; Rev. 1:5; 5:8-10; 20:11-15).

That man is justified by faith in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, resulting in a supernatural regeneration from above (Mt. 1:21; 18:3; Jn. 3:1-8,16; Rom. 5:1; 2Cor. 5:17; Eph. 2:8-9; Col. 1:14,20; Tit. 3:5; 1Pet. 1:18-23). He is not justified by works or self-effort and the natural development from within.

That man, animals, and plant-life have degenerated and are under a curse. Man chooses to continue in sin, sickness, and the sufferings of the earth. Only through redemption in Christ will the whole creation be restored to original perfection and goodness (Gen. 3; 6:5-22; Rom. 5:12-21; 8:17-24; 1Cor. 15:24- 28; 2Pet. 3:7-13; Rev. 21:1--Rev. 22:5). No single species has evolved from a lower to a higher plane of life.

That all people who accept Christ and conform to God’s plan for man will be saved and resurrected from the dead to immortality to help God administer the affairs of the universe forever (Jn. 3:16; Jn. 5:28-29; Rom. 8:17-24; 1Cor. 6:2; 15:1-54; 2Tim. 2:12; Rev. 1:6; 2:26-27; 5:10; 11:15; 22:4-5).

That all people who reject Christ and do not conform to God’s plan will pay the eternal death penalty for sin, being resurrected to immortality and punished eternally in the lake of fire (Mk. 16:15-16; Jn. 3:16-20; 5:28-29; Rev. 14:9-11; 20:11-15; 21:8; 22:15). See Hell in Where Are the Dead?

Some of those truths must be hard to read for professing christians without a knowledge of the Word of God.
