Preamble

WCBS has traditionally welcomed all brothers and sisters in good standing without particular reference to a particular "fellowship" within the Christadelphian body. The school is not sponsored by just a single ecclesia. The Bible school is managed by a committee of brothers and sisters from different ecclesias, and is funded by registration fees, individual donations, and donations from various ecclesias. In an effort to encourage unity within the Christadelphian community, attendees at the school in 1996 voted to utilize the following statement. In 1999, the committee decided to publish this statement in the Bible School program.

Western Christadelphian Bible School Statement of Belief

"We agree that the Birmingham Unamended Statement of Faith and the Birmingham Amended Statement of Faith represent valid statements of belief subject to the following clarifications regarding the clause that differentiates the two"

"1. From the creation, all mankind has been subject to the Creator and to divine authority. Knowledge and understanding of God's ways and purpose are directly related to our responsibility to God."

"2. At Christ's return, all of the baptized, living and dead, will be called to the judgment seat of Christ. In addition, those whom God deems responsible among the unbaptized, living and dead, will be called to judgment. We reject the teaching that only the baptized in Christ will be raised from the dead for judgment. We also reject the practice of identifying any unbaptized individual as being certain of appearance at the judgment seat."
