Main Syllabus Ethos & Theology

Creation

Creation

The Genesis account of creation is taken as literal and historical.

Baptism

Baptism

Baptism is understood to be the immersion in water of a believer in Jesus Christ, symbolising death to sin and new life.

Lords Day

Lords Day

Go Teach takes a positive view of Sunday as the Lord’s Day—a day for rest from work, for worship of God, and for showing kindness to others.

Church

Church

The church consists of all those, and only those, who have been born again by the Holy Spirit, who have repented of sin, and who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.

Last Days

Last Days

Teaching will be confined to those aspects clearly revealed in Scripture, namely the bodily return to earth of the Lord Jesus Christ on a day known only to God; the bodily resurrection of the dead; the judgement of all mankind; the everlasting misery of the lost; the everlasting joy of the redeemed in their Saviour’s presence. No particular view of the millennium is taken or taught.

Images of God / Jesus

Images of God / Jesus

Biblical characters are depicted in a realistic style. Christ is not normally depicted visually. The facial features, or uncovered hair, of Christ are not shown, except indistinctly of the baby in the manger. The same applies to Old Testament figures thought to be pre-incarnate appearances of the Lord. When deemed necessary, a rear view, a vague silhouette, or a hand or foot of such a figure (including Christ in the New Testament) may be shown. A dove at the baptism of Christ may be depicted.
