Apostolic Christian Church Information
Welcome to the Apostolic Christian Church Information Center! The Ap-ostolic Christian Church was founded nearly 200 years ago, however, the core beliefs of this faith can be traced back to the Swiss Reformation in the 1500's and ultimately straight back to the Bible. And that's what makes the Apostolic Christian Church stand out; it has stubbornly held the Bible up as their standard, regard-less if its com-mandments were considered "pol-itically-correct" or fashionable at the time or not.
DOCTRINE
The doctrine of the church is based on a literal interpretation of the Bible which is recognized as God-inspired, infallible, and inerrant. New Testament teachings are carefully followed and counsel and advice are sought from examples found in the Old Testament. It is believed that salvation is obtained by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. True faith embodies the component of obedience which instructs a soul to do as the Lord Jesus emphatically taught, "Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matt. 4:17). The Biblical pattern of repentance is observed which includes godly sorrow (2 Cor. 7:10) for a past sinful life, confession of sins, (Matt. 3:6, Acts 19:18), restitution for past wrongs (Matt. 5:23, 24) and becoming dead to sin (1 Peter 2:24). The wonderful and matchless grace of God is given to those who are humble in heart (James 4:6), along with peace and forgiveness from God. Following conversion, a growth in Christian graces, and manifesting the fruit of the Spirit, the new convert then gives a testimony of his or her faith and conversion experience to the congregation. This is followed by water baptism by immersion. (Matt. 3:13-17). Baptism symbolizes the burial of the old sinful nature into the death of Christ, and the subsequent rising of a soul out of the baptismal waters as a new creature in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:3-4). This is followed by the laying on of hands whereby a church Elder prays over the new member as the official confirmation of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the believer's heart (Acts 8:17-19). The new member is thus formally united with the church, which is Christ's body. He is expected to fully embrace the doctrinal and lifestyle standards of the church which are based on God's Word. A life of peace and joy follows as one pursues the pathways of Biblical holiness and sanctification. Despite trials, and potential sorrow and temptation, God's grace is sufficient for humble hearts to receive happiness and contentment (1 Tim. 6:6) in the expectation of heaven-if they are true and faithful until life's end. Self-denial (Matt. 16:24), separation from sin and unfruitful works (2 Cor. 6:14-18), nonconformity to worldliness (Rom. 12:2) are integral parts of the Christian walk of life.
