WALKING WITH CHRIST
Our Church can be defined using two words: Evangelical and Waldensian.
Evangelical expresses the reality of the Protestant Reformation and its
plan to return to the earliest Christian congregations and the purification
of faith. The Waldensians (like all Protestants) emphasize this belief
by defining the basis of Christian belief in three parts: Scripture, Christ
and Faith…..nothing more.
| 1. |
Scripture: The Bible should be the
only source from which the Church finds inspiration in its work and
its witness. It is to the Bible which we must turn whenever we wish
to know the will of God and it is only the Bible which contains the
words of truth which we need in our lives. |
| 2. |
Christ: Being Christian means having
full faith in the work of Christ and living in communion with Him
because man's salvation and hope is found only in the teaching and
the work of Christ. |
| 3. |
Faith: We are saved, or as Saint Paul
says, justified, only by faith. This means that nobody deserves salvation
but we can and we should accept it as God's gift to us. |
