What Disciples Believe
What Disciples Believe
Like most Christians, Disciples Affirm:·
Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God.
All persons are God's children.
Beliefs and practices usually associated with Disciples include:·
Open Communion. The Lord’s Supper, or Communion is celebrated in weekly
worship. It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ. ·
Freedom of belief. Disciples are called together around one essential of faith: belief in
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Persons are free to follow their consciences guided by
the Bible, the Holy Spirit, study and prayer, and are expected to extend that freedom to
others. ·
Baptism by immersion. In baptism the old self-centered life is set aside, and a new life
of trust in God begins.
Belief in the oneness of the church. All Christians are called to be one in Christ and
to seek opportunities for common witness and service. ·
The ministry of believers. Both ministers and lay persons, male and female, lead in
worship, service and spiritual growth.
