Frequently Asked Questions

Recenly I've been working on pages which address the beliefs of those who are not Christians. It touches on atheism, paganism, the new age, Islam, the reliability of the Bible, and much more. It is called The Big Issues.  As time permits, I'll be addressing many more issues there, and updating the pages.

What do you believe?

I believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. He is central to everything. I believe that the Bible gives us the standard for doctrine and practise. For a summary of what I believe you can check out this Statement of Faith from the Association of Vineyard Churches, including Scripture references, which pretty much states where I am at theologically on a lot of major issues. I also recommend checking out the many teachings I have included under the Free Teaching section.
