Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Christians´ Annual, 1899, Vol. 3 The Christians. Do you ask, Who are the people whom this Annual represents? To answer briefly, they are - 1. A people who call themselves simply Christians. They do not arrogate the title to themselves. To that name they accord an equal right to all who accept Christ as Savior and Leader. They cannot, however, accept a human title for a church of which Christ is Founder and Head - a title different from that divinely given to his followers "first in Antioch." They cannot accept a name whose very enunciation is suggestive of human headship and of party divisions in the one family of Christ. 2. They hold to the union of all believers in the services and sacraments of the church, and in all religious labor for the conversion and salvation of man. They have ever averred that Christian brotherhood is not a kinship of ecclesiastical creation; that the oneness for which Christ prayed is not a unity of opinion, but of spirit; a union not possible to clashing creeds: a union of Pentecostal creation; a fellowship that follows the irresistible attraction of spiritual affinities. They foster friendship and fellowship with all sister denominations, but have no faith in a legislated union of Christ´s followers. They believe that genuine unity is of Christian love, and is therefore the logical and normal relation of all who are Spirit-born into the visible church of Christ. They humbly hope that both by teaching and example they may bear some part in cementing a universal brotherhood and cooperation in which the church of Christ may stand before an amazed and admiring world in the glory of a unity and love that shall be the fit and full answer of our Savior´s prayer. 3. They hold that the Bible, being the revealed will of God, should be accepted as the sole source of authority in all matters of faith and practice. It seems to them that if the Bible is God´s only written revelation to the world, his church, his children; if it alone has rescued humanity from barbarism; if it is the universally acknowledged manual of Christianity; if Protestantism claims it essential even to the highest mission of the American common school, to the highest, soundest, safest standard of national, civil, social, domestic relations, - if all this is true of the Bible and conditioned upon the Bible, the Christians believe this Book to be also the highest, the best, the only inspired and divinely authorized manual of doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. 4. They allow and vindicate the right of individual judgment in the interpretation of the Bible, making the Christian life and spirit the only test of Christian fellowship.
