Doctrine

Brunstad Christian Church is an evangelical non-denominational church that has its foundation in the New Testament and believes in the Bible as God’s word.

Outside of this foundation, we have no doctrine, no conditions or requirements and no partiality in our treatment of persons.  Faith in Jesus as God’s Son, and faith in the Holy Spirit, the forgiveness of sins, baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the fundamental elements of our faith.

How are we different from other Christian evangelical non-denominational churches?

We believe that Jesus not only died to bring us forgiveness of our sins, but that He was also tempted to sin just like every human being.  The difference is that despite being tempted, Jesus did not commit a single sin!  When we follow in Jesus’ footsteps, it is also possible for us to live a life of victory over sin.  In this way we can be conformed to His image.

“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Rom. 8:29

 

Theology

The Bible - our guideline

We place great importance on living our life in accordance to God’s word and using the Bible as a guideline for our life and doctrine.  We believe in the Almighty God, in His Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit.



The Forgiveness of Sins and Victory over Sin

Syndenes forlatelse og seier over synd

What hope is there for us who have sinned?  We believe that all people can receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life, without having a single good deed to show for themselves, when they believe in Jesus and that He died for us on the cross.



Sanctification

Sanctification

We believe that the Holy Spirit will bring all things to our remembrance and guide us on our journey as disciples of Jesus Christ.  When we are obedient to the Holy Spirit, an inner transformation takes place in us.



The Church – the Body of Christ

The Church – the Body of Christ We believe that the spiritual fellowship, which develops in the light that comes from God’s word, is “the church,” or “the body of Christ” as it is also called in the Bible.



Baptism

Baptism

We practice the baptism of faith, or adult baptism.  Baptism is “the answer of a good conscience toward God.” (1 Pet. 3:21)
