We CAN change this as more things are made real to us, right?

[ICTHUS]

I believe in one God,
the Father, and the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is seen and unseen.

I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Denomination:
I do not belong to a denomination. As confessed in the Nicene Creed above, I believe in, and belong to the One True Church which was founded by Jesus Christ Himself upon the rock of St. Peter and his successors,(Matt 16:18-19) - namely, the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I am a member of the Latin (Roman) Rite of this Church, but I also favor the Byzantine (Melkite Greek) Rite as well.

Soteriology:

Thomist. Thomist soteriology can be summed up by a slight modification of the Calvinistic TULIP

T- Total Heriditary Inability: Because of the debilitating sin of Adam, Man, unaided by the grace of God, cannot move himself to be penitent as he ought, so that the grace of justification might be bestowed on him through the merits of Christ won for us on Calvary.

U- Unconditional Election - God unconditionally elects those whom He foreknows. However, he does not positively predestine anyone to Hell, but those whom He does not elect to fall into sin and go to Hell by their own choosing, maintaining free will. Thus, Thomism rejects double predestination. I contend that Scripture and Sacred Tradition maintain a tenuous relationship between Election and Free will, which neither attempt to reconcile.

Rom 8:28-29 "For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified."

Therefore, as it is written, God foreknows who will be saved, and predestines them according to His good purpose.

L-Limited Atonement-

There has never been a man for whom Christ did not shed His blood. However, this does not mean that the atonement is not limited, for it is written that Christ died for many (as opposed to all). However, it is also written that God loves all men and desires that none should perish, and that all should come to the knowledge of the Truth. (1 Tim 2:4)

Thus, I believe that the reconciliation of these two points lies in the limitation of the efficacy of the Atonement to only the Elect. Thus, the graces merited by Christ by the Atonement are not merely efficent and able to bring the Elect to salvation, but they are superabundant, and are available to all men, even though all men will not be saved.

I- Intrinsically efficacious grace - All grace given to men is efficacious and totally sufficent for salvation, but if man resists that grace, it will not be effective in saving him. Somewhat akin to repeatedly drinking coffee in order to stay awake. Sleep (akin to grace) comes automatically, and the sleeper does nothing at all to merit sleep, but if the sleeper keeps drinking cups of coffee, to resist sleep, then sleep will not come. Similarly, man can resist grace, but it is beyond his power to accept it.

P- Those whom God unconditionally elects will infallibly persevere to final salvation, although they may lose their salvation temporarily by mortal sin.

Eschatology:
Partial Preterist - I believe that many (but not all) of the events described in the Book of Revelation have already come to pass (i.e. the Beast and the Whore of Revelation 17 are easily identifiable as the Pagan emperor Nero (The letters of whose name add up to 666 in Hebrew) and Pagan Rome who persecuted the Early Church, respectively)

Ecclesiastical Structure:
Three levels of holy orders - Diaconate, Presbyterate, Episcopacy, (with the Bishop of Rome being the first among the Bishops), in that order.

Baptism:
Paedobaptist (Properly defined Baptismal Regeneration). As confessed above, I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
Although, it should be noted that I believe that if a person hears the Gospel and yet refuses to beleive, having been given grace to do so, he or she will not be saved.
Infants and young children are rightly baptised for the forgiveness of sin and admission into the New Covenant. This is due to the fact that Baptism is the sign and seal of the New Covenant, and replaces circumcision as the way in which we enter into the New Covenant.

Communion

The elements (unleavened bread and wine) truly become the Body and Blood of Christ when consecrated by a validly ordained priest in communion with Rome or one of the Orthodox churches. Not as common food and drink do we recieve them, but as the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Saviour Jesus Christ. The one completed sacrifice of Jesus is made present on the altar, as in the passover meal, and the passover Lamb of God who has already been slaughtered atones for the sins of all men, even though only some are elected to come to Him for eternity.

The Biblical and historical evidence for this doctrine is convincing. Jesus words in Luke 22:19 are "Do this in memory of Me"

However, the Greek is this,

touto poiete eiV thn emhn anamnhsin

Or "Touto poiete eis tan eman anamnesin"

The word "anamnesis" has no equivalent word in English. It is translated as "memorial" "acclamation" or "in memory" in most English bibles. However, this is not an accurate rendering.

The word "anamnesis" instead conveys a concept of a memorial, except in a deeper sense. It conveys, in this context, the concept of actually going back in time and being present at the Last Supper. But the Last Supper itself was not self-demonstrating. Instead, the Last Supper pointed to the work that Christ was about to do on Calvary, and hence, the Eucharist is inexorably tied in with the Bloody sacrifice of Calvary. Christ is re-presented (but NOT resacrificed) to the Father and the merits of His death are applied to all who partake of His flesh and Blood. Those who drink of this sacrament unworthily not only do not recieve the graces tied in with the Eucharist, but eat and drink condemnation on themselves according to 1 Cor 11:26-29. This is not to be understood by the erroneous notion (claiming to have its origin from St. Augustine) that those who eat and drink unworthily do not eat the Body of the Lord - they do - but they eat it to their own damnation.

This belief is reiterated in the writings of the Church Fathers, namely, St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. Justin Martyr, St. Irenaeus, and St. Augustine.

Sacraments

There are 7

Christian initiation

1. Baptism
2. Eucharist (explained above)
3. Confirmation

Healing

4. Penance (aka. Reconciliation or Confession)
5. Annointing of the Sick (Extreme Unction)

Vocational

6. Holy Orders (Diaconate, Presbyterate, or Episcopate)
7. Marriage (Holy Matrimony)*

*note that under the current discipline of the Latin-rite Church, ordination to the presbyterate or episcopate are normatively exclusive of one another. Married men, however, can be ordained to the Permanent Diaconate. The Eastern Rites (eg all the Byzantine Catholic churches) Presbyters can marry, but their Bishops are almost always chosen from among unmarried presbyters.

Tongues & Prophecy:
Wary of those who fake it, but a Non-cessationist.

Christian involvement in politics:
Christians should be politically involved, while The Church, ideally, should exercise influence in government by its leaders acting in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church. In practise, this does not always occur.

Inerrancy of Scripture:
The original text of Scripture is the infallible, inerrant, inspired Word of The Living God. However, Scripture is not the interpreter of itself. The Church is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth (1 Tim 3:15) and thusly, as the original Church, the sole infallible interpreter (this is not to say that the laity cannot interpret scripture at all, but they cannot declare dogma, or infallible interpretation) of Scripture is the Catholic Church.

List of groups you view as outside the Pale of Orthodoxy:
Modalists, Nestorians, Pelagians,Semi-Pelagians, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Seventh-Day Adventists, Christian Science, Moonies.

Things that you think are a load of crap, but do not preclude one from Salvation.
Dispensationalism, Jack Chick-ism, Anti-Catholicism, The Left Behind series, and Sedevacantists and/or the Society of St. Pius X.

Things that dont fit into either of the above, but were/continue to be BAD for the Church nonetheless

The "Reformation" (although the Reformation caused the Church to correct some of the abuses of its time, which makes it a good thing, in a sense)

The Inquisitions

Dispensationalist, Covenant Theology, New Covenant Theology, Kingdom Theology, or something else?
Covenant Theology: I believe that throughout Scripture, God has established covenants with His people - the New Covenant of Jesus' blood and His one perfect sacrifice on Calvary is the climax of these

Method of Creation (Literal Creation or Thestic Evolution):
Literal, 7 day creationist

[Thespia]

Denomination:
Southern Baptist

Soteriology:
Calinvist, with room for wise personal choices.

Eschatology:
Amillenial/don't care. I think people get WAY too into this...I say "be on the welcoming committee, not the planning committee."

Ecclesiastical Structure (denominational structure):
Congregationalist

Church Government (local body):
Pastor, Deacons, and then Ministers of Music, Education, Evangelism...etc.

Baptism:
Credobaptism (just like in the Bible )

Cessation:
Non-Cessationist...NOT in favor of sensationalism and/or abuse of gifts.
I believe that the vast majority of what you see on TBN or whatever is abusive of the gifts and usually fake. Stuff like that hurts the church and makes the Holy Spirit falsely represented. The Holy Spirit continues to work in mysterious ways, but not what WE want Him to do. Its all about glorifying God and continuing His Church.

Christian involvement in politics (Theonomy):
I believe Christians should do all we can as good stewards of the world God has given us. All government is appointed by God...why should we then step back?

Inerrancy:
Verbal Plenary, and innerant in the Holy Spirit's teaching in our hearts.

Method of Biblical interpretation:
Grammatico-Historical

Baptism of the Holy Spirit:
The Holy Spirit baptises us at the time of our salvation. We receive Him and he cleanses us and seals us for our future with the Father, to walk with us as our helper throughout our lives. How can people deny that we are given the Holy Spirit at the time God comes to indwell within our hearts? I do NOT believe that people receive the initial presence of the Holy Spirit subsequentially to salvation. Neither do I believe that we must speak in tongues at our Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

However, the Holy Spirit can and does continually work in us, and we may be filled anew when we get closer to the Father in Spirit and Truth. The work of the Holy Spirit will always be holy and full of life, not stagnant or stale. He will guide us and equip us with whatever tools we need to glorify God and enjoy Him forever, including words to say in evangelism and ministry, songs to sing in worship, truth in our hearts in times of trouble, encouragment to the spiritually dried up when they need it, and even praying for us when we are so distraught that we don't know what to pray.

The work of the Holy Spirit is invaluable in the life of every Christian. He binds our lives for us every step of the way... from the saving work of Jesus for us on the cross, to the glorious future we have with the Father in Heaven.

Dispensationalist, Covenant Theology, New Covenant Theology, Kingdom Theology, or something else?
Dispensationalist

Things I think are a load of crap, but do not preclude folks from salvation:
sayings like "Christianity is a Relationship, not a Religion".
little books like "The Prayer of Jabez".
Lutheran literagy when the preacher says "I forgive you all your sins"
Lutheran practice of having to sign a card when you take communion that says you believe that Christ is present in the bread and wine.
SEEKER SENSITIVE CHURCHES (lights, camera, action!)
Screamers (like huge black churches..."the potter's house)...I am not being racist here, I just think that some of the theology used by these screaming preachers could stand some correction, but instead it gets lots of "amens" and nods but does it change people's lives?

List of groups you view as outside the Pale of Orthodoxy:
Mormons, JWs, cultists, Christian Science, liberals who are soft on Scripture, and therefore cease to really believe anything (not going to name names of denominations, but I really wonder sometimes how if you don't believe that the Bible is true, if you can be saved??)

Apostle, Pastors, Elders, Ministers, Deacons and Deaconesses.
Bishop is in there to but they are typically an Apostle too just in a different role.

Like for instance a female Apostle is okay as long as she is a submissive to her husband.

I believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, I do believe in being slain in the spirit and falling out although I don't believe anybody has to touch you to for it to happen. The Holy Spirit can come on you anytime and you fall out.

[J'horra]

I am going to try to list mine, although I'm not aquainted with all the definitions.

Denomination:
Non-Denominational

Soteriology:
Calvinist, although I'm not sure which way I lean on a certain issue. I fully believe you can only come to God if you are called, that's pretty straight forward in the Bible. However I haven't seen anything that clears up whether God decides, or whether He knows who will accept and thus only calls those.

Eschatology:
Post Milleniumism, although I don't think I can fully accept the Preterist view. (That's the one where all nations will eventually be governed by OT laws?)

Ecclesiastical Structure (denominational structure):
I don't think I understand this one. If this is what I think it is we submit to an apostle who is over us.

Church Government (local body):
Pastor/Elder and Deacons

Baptism:
I stand firmly in non Baptismal Regeneration, but I don't know the difference between these two.
Paedobaptist (non Baptismal Regeneration)Credobaptist (non Baptismal Regeneration),

Cessation:
Cessationist (This means I believe in gifts of the Spirit correct?)

Christian involvement in politics (Theonomy):
I believe they should be based loosely on OT commandments. I'm don't feel learned enough on this topic to comment passed this.

Inerrancy:
Inerrant in original form, sufficiently preserved so as not to be misleading.

Method of Biblical interpretation:
Both literal and symbolic

Baptism of the Holy Spirit:
Seperate event apart from regeneration.

Dispensationalist, Covenant Theology, New Covenant Theology, Kingdom Theology, or something else?
(I don't what these mean other than dispensationalism, so I can't comment other than to say not dispensationalism.)

List of groups you view as outside the Pale of Orthodoxy:
Does this mean groups I don't believe would qualify as Christian? I don't think I know enough about each group to say. Although I will say this. I don't think the Mormon Church is Christian, but I do believe there are those in that group that are saved. I think many groups fall under this view.

Christian involvement in politics:
I'm a Theonomist and opposed to ecclesiocracy (rule by church). I believe Christians have an obligation to be politically involved, and I believe a theonomic constitutional republic with local control is the best form of government.

Inerrancy:
The Bible is inerrant and infallible, but some errors may have entered into the various translations...the original Greek and Hebrew versions are, however, completely inerrant and infallible.

Method of Biblical interpretation:
It depends on the passage/chapter/book. Literal and symbolic.
