Gospel available to be read in detail or signed at statementonsocialjustice .com

This is article number 9, topic Heresy. We affirm that heresy is a denial of or departure from a doctrine that is essential to the

Christian faith. We further affirm that heresy often involves the replacement of key essential truths with various components or the elevation of non -essentials to the status of essentials.

To embrace heresy is to depart from the faith once delivered to the saints and thus to be on a path toward spiritual destruction.

We affirm that the accusation of heresy should be reserved for those departures from Christian truth that destroy the weight -bearing doctrines of the redemptive core of Scripture.

We affirm that accusations of heresy should be accompanied with clear evidence of such destructive beliefs.

We deny that the charge of heresy can legitimately be brought against every failure to achieve perfect conformity to all that is implied in sincere faith in the

Gospel. This article is saying that we should not be quick to say someone is a heretic or believing in heresy.
