Where am I Coming From?
A Personal Statement of Bruce’s Beliefs
As it is I who will be writing most of the articles on evangelical/pentecostal Christianity, it may be helpful if I give, in addition to the bio in ‘About Us’, a brief overview of my core beliefs. Much of what I will be saying will sound quite controversial if not, to some, downright heretical. It is important, therefore, that you know the core beliefs of the one who is daring to challenge some of our long held evangelical theological assumptions or, as I call them, ‘traditions of men’.

I hold thoroughly orthodox Christian beliefs in relation to the following:
The nature and character of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit
The virgin birth of Jesus the Christ
The reality of Christ’s miracles during his ministry on earth
The literal bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
The reality of heaven and hell

I believe that the Holy Spirit was the source of inspiration for the authors of those books which were later gathered into what we now know as the Bible. I do not, however, believe that such inspiration means that the contents of these books are, of necessity, ‘without error’, nor that their authors were incapable, at times, of putting their own personal or mistaken warp into the views they expressed.
