42 Articles of the Essentials of a Christian Worldview
The 42 Articles on Historic Doctrine are based on the inerrant Bible
and were first written by our theologians as the theological basis on which all
COR's 17 Worldview Documents were to stand. The 42 Articles distill 2,000 years of the Church’s theology in all historic denominations and offer the church a “generic statement of faith” as a guardrail against heresies and error.
A Manifesto for the Christian Church
The Manifesto for the Christian Church was developed after the 17 Worldview Documents to state where God wants the Church to stand and what actions he wants to be taken to accomplish the Great Commission at this point in history. The Manifesto was signed on July 4, 1986 in a Nehemiah-type Solemn Assembly on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial by the Steering Committee of
COR and 400 delegates representing the greater Body of Christ.
Articles of Affirmation and Denial on the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God document was developed from 1988 to 1991 by the COR theologians to state the Biblical and historical view of the Kingdom of God.
Additional information about the 25 Articles on the Kingdom of
God is provided in Dr. Grimstead's brief
commentary.
Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy
The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy was ratified
by the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy in 1978. This
watershed document is a modern, historical statement on the view of the Bible held by the Christian Church for 2,000 years, as well as by Jesus and all the
biblical authors.
Additional information about the ICBI and the Chicago Statement
is provided in Dr. Grimstead's
article
on how the ICBI came into existence.
