ChristianBeliefs101 Summaries PDF
Any church or individual will benefit from this course because they'll learn various beliefs and the nuances held by different denominational perspectives, even if they disagree with the position held by the instructor. To the right is an overview of our approach. A summary is also available: About > Mission & Beliefs > Affiliations & Distinctives > MCM Theological Distinctives
In Core Beliefs, we distinguish between what is distinctly historically and traditionally Christian from what is not Christian. We do refute certain Catholic and Orthodox beliefs while recognizing that these are considered by many as Christian beliefs.
In Essential Beliefs, we explain how Catholic and Protestants view the biblical canon, grace, justification, salvation, etc. and do teach the Protestant view is the position we believe true. We teach a conservative moral ethic, arguing that the alternatives are sinful and abhorrent to God.
In Important beliefs, we explain the different views held in Protestant theology (Cessationism vs. Continuationism, Calvinism vs. Provisionism/Arminianism, modern deliverance, etc, acknowledging that all are decidedly Christian, while advocating for the latter.
No church should even let people lead small groups without being able to understand and explain all of these beliefs! And no Christian should be focusing on deeper areas of discipleship without first having a solid grasp on these things!
