Christadelphians
believe that it is by faith that we find access to the hope of salvation. By a belief of the true gospel and baptism
into the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, we take on His name. Christ's name being the only given under
heaven "whereby we must be saved". At death, we return to dust, until the return of Christ, at which time he
will call to judgment his saints, both dead and living. They will then be judged according to their works and receive
in body according to what they have done, whether it be good or bad. The faithful will be invested with immortality,
the unfaithful consigned to the second death on account of their sins subsequent to baptism. Those who have not
put on the saving name by immersion into it will be left in the dust eternally. The faithful will inherit the Kingdom,
prepared from the foundation of the world. This Kingdom, which Christ and his saints will set up, will re-establish the
12 tribes of Israel (the former Kingdom of God) on the land promised to Abraham and subdue all other kingdoms. The
mortal natural Israelites, established in their land, will constitute the primary subjects of the Kingdom, governed
by the twelve apostles who shall sit on twelve thrones. Mortal gentiles shall constitute the secondary subjects,
being inhabitants of Christ's vast empire, which shall encompass the entire earth. When established, this Kingdom will
continue for 1,000 years, under the rulership of Christ and the saints. At the end of this period there will be another
resurrection and judgment, resulting in the final extinction of the wicked, and the immortalization of those who have established
a title to eternal life (under the grace of God) during the 1,000 years. Finally, sin and death itself shall be destroyed,
and the Kingdom will be delivered up to the Father, who will then be the "All in All".
So
it is only by an understanding and faith in the true Gospel, (The Things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of
Jesus Christ) manifest by immersion into the Name of Jesus Christ, and a patient continuance in well doing, that any
have access to salvation and eternal life.
These things the scriptures affirm.
