 What
We Believe

 
Camelback Christian Church
located in Scottsdale, Arizona is part of
a worldwide brotherhood of local congregations known as
Christian Churches or Churches of Christ.


What We Believe


We seek to exalt Christ and His Word above all human creeds and to preach the simple Gospel in clear and understandable terms.
We believe the word of God, and that the New Testament sets forth the ideal for the local church and the individual Christian to follow.
The Bible teaches that New Testament Christianity is neither sectarian nor denominational.
We believe that Christian unity is important and desirable. We plead for the unity of all Christ's followers upon a Scriptural basis. Division is sinful and dangerous.
We believe that evangelism is our primary business. The great commission of our Lord sets forth the command and gives the terms of salvation - faith and obedience to Christ (Matt. 28:16-20).
We believe that we should be "Christians only" - not claiming to be the only true Christians. Christ is our Lord and Savior....our Creed.

 


PASSAGES FROM THE BIBLE


There is only one God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Matthew 3:16-17 & John 14:9-10

God is the creator of all people and of all things. Genesis 1:1 & Acts 17:24-28

Jesus Christ is God's only Son, the Savior of the world, and the Head of the church. John 3:16, Matthew 1:18-21 & Colossians 1:13-23

The Holy Spirit dwells within every Christian. John 16:5-15 & Romans 8:1-14

The Bible is the inspired word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith. Romans 15:4, Hebrews 4:13 & 2 Timothy 3:16

Every person has worth as a creation of God, but that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 & 1 John 1:7

Salvation (the forgiveness of sins) is offered to all people and comes only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ (His death on the cross) and His resurrection from the dead. Matthew 26:28, Romans 5:8-11, Ephesians 2:8-9 & 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

The Bible teaches that the pattern to follow to receive Jesus as Savior is to believe in Christ as God's Son and Savior of the world, to repent of personal sin, to confess Christ as Lord, and to be baptized (immersed) into Christ.
John 20:30-31, Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9 & Romans 6:1-7

The church is the body and bride of Christ, founded on the day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere.

It is God's plan for the elders to lead the local church.
Act 20:28, 1 Timothy 3:1-7 & 1 Peter 5:1-4

Death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit eternal life; the unsaved, eternal separation from God. Romans 8:10-11, Daniel 12:2 & John 6:47

Jesus will one day return and reign forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
