-condensed version of Dunstable? ​ See attachment ​for beliefs statements ​from other sites.  ​Plenty ​to choose ​from (I prefer Ipswich version)+====== Our Beliefs ====== 
 + 
 + 
 +The Christadelphians are a small worldwide community of Christian believers whose main aim is to discover, obey and witness to the truth that God has left on record for all mankind.  
 + 
 +"Let the Bible speak for itself"​ could well be our slogan, as this is precisely what we set out to do. Our beliefs are a direct result of this: 
 + 
 +This is a very condensed version of our beliefs. 
 + 
 +  * That God is all-powerful,​ all-knowing and the creator of the universe 
 +  * That Jesus Christ is his son, whose death brought about the means to the fulfilment of God's purpose on earth. 
 +  * That Jesus will return to the earth to establish a kingdom of perfection ​for his Father, of which we can be members. 
 +  * That man is inherently sinful and in need of salvation ​from God. 
 +  * That human nature, therefore, works against God's will and so we can only be saved by God's grace and forgiveness. 
 +  * That when Jesus returns ​to the earth, all those who are responsible will be raised ​from the dead to be judged as worthy or not of a place in God's kingdom on earth. 
 +  * That we should watch carefully the things that are happening in the world, so that Jesus' return does not take us by surprise. 
 +  * That believers should live a morally upstanding life before God, standing apart from the lax values of modern society. 
 +  * That no-one else has authority - only God through the pages of his word, which, now being completed, is his source of revelation to mankind. 
 +  * That the God's Holy Spirit controls and sustains everything. 
 +  * That man has free will to choose whether to pursue God's offers of salvation or not. 
 +  * That the nation of Israel is still very important in God's plan for the earth.
