God has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by Jesus Christ, whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead. Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name!
Primary statement of faith
All editors at Theopedia are required to personally affirm the following:
- We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God's truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
- We believe that all are sinners and are worthy of God's eternal punishment in hell.
- We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for ungodly sinners.
- We believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
- We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.
- We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Secondary doctrinal statement
An editor is not required to agree with the secondary doctrinal statement. However, all of Theopedia's content is, in accordance with the writing guide, required to conform to the following:
- The Together for the Gospel Statement and The Cambridge Declaration of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
- Calvinism - Inasmuch as this refers to the five points of Calvinism and the sovereignty of God in absolute predestination, we affirm it.
- In doctrinal matters unspecified here, content will conform to traditional, evangelical Protestantism. Any disputes will be resolved by administrators and board members.
