Christadelphians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Christadelphians (Brothers and Sisters in Christ) are a nontrinitarian denomination, which developed in the United Kingdom and North America in the 19th century. Christadelphians reject a number of doctrines traditionally held by the orthodox Christian denominations, notably the immortality of the soul, Trinitarianism, the pre-existence of Jesus Christ and present day possession of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Christadelphians are conscientious objectors (but not pacifists), and refrain from involvement with politics, joining the armed forces, the police force, or other organised bodies such as trade unions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Christadelphians   (1842 words)

Christadelphians Christadelphians means "Brethren in Christ," from the two Greek words Christos (Christ) and adelphois (brothers and sisters).

CHRISTADELPHIANS - JOHN THOMAS Christadelphians claim that the Bible is inerrant and the source of their truth, yet the doctrinal positions that they adopt differ radically from what the Bible actually says. Christadelphians must claim that Thomas was deluded or mistaken, and at the same time must conclude that Jesus Christ did not understand the magnitude of Thomas' reply and, therefore, did not correct him, or else Jesus Christ was deceptive in allowing the apostles to believe a falsehood. Christadelphians deny the existence of a personal and real being who is called Satan, preferring to define the references to that being in the Bible euphemistically as definitions of the manifestation of sin in the flesh and evil men, just like they define the Holy Spirit as the manifestation of the power of God. www.ondoctrine.com /10chdelp.htm   (11667 words)

Christadelphians Answer Hopkins Christadelphians are, however, quite happy to be regarded as members of the "sect...every where...spoken against" (Acts 28:22), since that identifies them with the first century believers in Christ.

Texas Unamended Christadelphians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The Christadelphians are a Bible based group who accept the entire Bible, both Old and New Testaments as wholly inspired by God.
