What are the Essentials of the Christian Faith?

-

Introduction: There is a list of essential Christian doctrines that are non-negotiable by which it is the foundational to the faith and life of the church today. The church must never sacrifice biblical faith in place what will be acceptable in those who are professing believers. Many professing Christian leaders will contend that the church was not "divide" over doctrine, but to demonstrate "mere" love for the sake of unity. Whenever the church sacrifice the faith of the church for the sake of unity it "divides" people than to give them a robust understanding of the foundations of the Christian faith. Our understanding of essential Christian theology strengthen believers by which to share their faith with others. We are called to give people biblical answers to their Bible questions simply because of the fact that they wants to know with all that is going on in the world today: that of racial strife and social disparities. (1 Pet. 3:15)

Foundations of the Christian Faith

 1. The Bible: The Doctrine of the Word of God

 2. God.

 3. Jesus Christ.

 4. The Holy Spirit.

 5. The Fall of Man.

 6. Sin.

 7. Salvation.

 8. The Church.

 9. The Rapture: The Second Coming of Christ.

10. God's Final Judgment: The Righteous and the Wicked

11. Heaven: Our Eternal Home


Conclusion: There are sub-points to each major themes of the foundations of the Christian that falls under its category or headings. For example: "The Bible: The Doctrine of the Word of God:" (A) The "Meaning" of the Bible. (B) The Authority of Scripture. (C) The Inspiration of the Bible. There will be Bible references concerning both the "Main Headings" and "Sub-Points." Also, for example: "The "Meaning" of the Bible." (Jos. 1:8;  Psa. 1; Prov. 30:6; Matt. 5:17; 2 Tim. 3:15, 16) It is so important that the church to teach systematically by which to think methodically. May the Lord give me the wisdom and knowledge to put the material together so that it will help God's people to grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ. (2 Pet. 3:18) Also, to complete the project in a timely matter by which to publish my book.

New Thought and the Word of Faith Movement

It is very much important to know church history! There are some within the professing church today who believe that knowing the history of the church is not that important, but, to rely upon God's Word alone.  Those who believe that there is no need for the study of church history fail to understand that the Bible is a historical Book by which it records the history of the Bible, historical narratives and characters of the Bible.  It is also very much important to know Church history is light of its own history, that of the Bible, and those who made significant contributions to that of the Church today. There is the history of the church by which Church have succeeded in the propagation of the Gospel and missiology and the circulation of false doctrine and heresies that sought to destroy the faith and life of the Church today. What the contemporary church is experiencing during this 21st century is what happened in the past by which it is the responsibility of the leadershi...

What is New Thought Metaphysics?

There is a necessity to define what is New Thought metaphysics!  It is also important to know how "New Thought" metaphysics is associated with contemporary African American "Word of Faith" religion in light of New Thought historical background (1 Tim. 6:20).  There are millions of people today especially within that of the church who are unaware of the influence of New Thought within the corridors of many evangelical churches and its own leadership today (2 Tim. 2:17, 18). I find it quite disheartened and appalling that people today are not interested in sound biblical doctrine but are so preoccupied with fads and trends of today.  Trends only appears for a moment but then there are other trends that substitute many of the culture trends of today (Col. 2:4, 6, 8).  The influence of New Thought has in fact greatly influence that of the Church today by which it is a cosmetic Christianity that does not reflect that of true biblical C...
