![]() “Admit your need for forgiveness and peace.”.It was titled “How to Receive Jesus Christ” 3 /looking-for-peace and consisted of three simple steps. One thing I found interesting on the website was a short statement on how to become a Christian. How to become a Christian according to Beth Moore She needs to step up and provide a detailed doctrinal statement. This is unfortunate, especially since she supports the error of contemplative prayer and apparently considers Roman Catholicism to be another Christian denomination. If this is the case, it is still problematic since there is no real public, doctrinal proclamation of her faith – in detail. Now, it could be that she does not want to be doctrinally minded because she is trying to reach across denominational lines. The fact that there is no doctrinal statement is worrisome. Of course, we can make assumptions that she affirms biblical orthodoxy, but we would prefer to have actual statements and not assumptions. Without one, we have to ask questions regarding what she believes concerning the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the sacrifice of Christ, the physical resurrection of Christ, baptism, how to be saved, etc. ![]() It is always helpful for a Christian ministry to have a doctrinal statement because it enables people to quickly see what basis a person is teaching from. I could not find anything affirming justification by faith alone in Christ alone, or whether or not baptism is necessary for salvation (it isn’t). However, there is no doctrinal statement, and as such we don’t see any affirmation of the Trinity, that Jesus is a man right now with two natures: divine and human.
