From my understanding, they believe in God and await for the second coming of Jesus which his kingdom will fall into the heart of Jerusalem. They don't believe in the Trinity, not do they believe in hell. They don't vote, hold public office, or go out to war (battle). They don't believe the wicked will suffer in hell, that the dead will rise, there is no sin in the flesh, that it is not a sin for a believer to marry an unbeliever. |

I was a religious journey-man for some many years. I've visited a number of churches, and been convicted of belief in a number of those. Each is different, they all have their own little quirks. But there was no one quite like the Christadelphians. That's why I joined them as a permanent member.Its sad to see "Christians" slagging off other people who hold conviction in a faith. Remember my fellow bretheren, there are 500 different versions of "Christian" belief. |

Of all the posts on this page, only two states facts. Those are the posts where beliefs have been copied from pages. Its not right to translate the meanings of faith without fully seeking it out. That is why our Lord tell us to "Seek the Truth". Christ doesn't want us ganging up on other churches. And he doesn't want us just listening to the words of a priest. He wants us to find out what we truly believe to be the truth. |

And if you have a need to look at other "faiths", feel free. But don't assume to know and understand beliefs until you have truly looked into them.You will be surprised at what you find. Take it from me - i was a member of a number of churches all of which were accepted by "The World Council of Churches" (an institute set-up by men I must add) for 9 years. Why would I choose to change to a group of believers who are branded by the same - group of men - as a cult? |

Christadelphians are just like any cult choosing what is "relevant" and disregarding bible facts that are not understood by them. |

The Unamended believe that only the deceased who are "in Christ" will be raised from the dead and have eternal life;The Amended believe that all who are responsible will be raised from the dead at the time of the Final Judgment. The "responsible" are those exposed to the Gospel. The righteous among the responsible will be judged according to their works, rewarded appropriately, and live forever. The wicked will be annihilated*,ceasing to exist. *Covers most Christadelphians. |

"It is a well known fact that cults such as the christadelphians are a breeding ground for paedophiles and rapists."
Really. I could say "it is a well-known fact that all Christian churches are actually brothels in disguise", but it wouldn't make anyone believe me. Think before you make such sweeping and incorrect generalisations next time. |

I have heard lots of stories of elderly perverts using christadelphian churches as safe haven to molest and abuse children. It is a well known fact that cults such as the christadelphians are a breeding ground for paedophiles and rapists. |

They don't sound like standard fundamentalist Christians to me, at all. I never heard of them until now but if these replys are true than it's a cult. It's another gospel that God does not recognize and yes, it could lead people to hell. The very thing that they seem not to believe in. Of course most of us don't believe in this cult. Thank God because His sheep hear His voice and no other. Right kids? |

With regards to marriage, they believe that marriage of a believer to an unbeliever is not legal. It may not be Biblically the right thing to do, but it is legal if done according to the law of the land. |

I went to their website and here are some initial observations I made.
1. They deny the deity of Christ and the Holy Spirit so they do not believe in the Trinity.
2. They downplay Christ's atonement for the sins of the world.
3. They believe in a salvation by works, denying God's grace in the process.
They appear to classically build complete doctrines out of a select few verses like most cults do. Christians do not believe they can be saved by works. |

There are 36 doctrines that Christadelphians reject. Some of their beliefs: God is NOT 3 Persons; Son of God is NOT co-equal with the Father; Holy Spirit is NOT a Person distinct from the Father; man does Not have an immortal soul; the devil is a NOT supernatural being; the devil was NOT one of God's angels; baptism IS necessary to salvation; the dead do NOT rise in an immortal state...cont. |

Alan, I used to have a neighbour who was a Christadelphian. She used to put their literature through my letter box periodically. All I can really remember is that they do not believe in a personal devil. I could never understand why because they say that they believe the bible and where is it that we read about the devil? |
