An Introduction to the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite

 Anabaptist Theology
Christ is the second person of the Trinity, the Son of God, fully man and fully God, who redeemed mankind by his death -- that is, by opening a new way to fight the powers of Satan, and also by opening God's immeasurable grace to all who will follow him in true sonship.
The Anabaptist church was once well-called the "fellowship of committed disciples," and the Lord's Supper among them is the external symbol of this fellowship (occasionally called the "fellowship at the Lord's Table").
At the same time this church is a disciplined church, a church which insists on supervision by the bishop or Vorsteher, and naturally insists on the ban.
