We hold to:
- The inerrancy of Scripture.
- The continuance today of the diversities of spiritual gifts as found in I Corinthians 12:4-11.
- Simplicity in church government, rather than a complex bureaucracy.
- A dependence upon the Holy Spirit to lead rather than fleshly promotion.
- The pre-millennial, pre-tribulation return of Christ for His waiting Church.
- The teaching of the Word of God in such a way that it can be applied to life as beneficial towards a growing maturity.
|
At any given time, certain issues become controversial in the church. The Calvary Chapel Church feels it necessary to take a stand in the following areas:
|
We Reject:
- The teaching of "positive confession".
- The belief that true-Christians can be possessed by demons.
- "Dominion theology" or "kingdom theology".
- A fatalistic Calvinistic view, which allows no room for free will.
- Prophesy that supersedes biblical teaching.
- "Charismania" (the over-emphasis upon spiritual gifts, experiential signs and wonders.
