Cambridge Declaration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1938 words) |
 | The Cambridge Declaration is a statement of faith written in 1996 by the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, a group of Reformed and Lutheran Evangelicals who were concerned with the state of the Evangelical movement in America, and throughout the world. |
| The choice of location was deliberate, since Cambridge was the seat of Harvard and thus the center of ecclesiastical and intellectual life in 17th century America. |
| Cambridge was also the location of The Cambridge Platform, a declaration of church polity made in 1648 by New England Puritans. |
| Declaration of Faith (22065 words) |
| I declare that it is a form of idolatry to bestow on Mary honor, title, or attributes which in effect give her any status in the redemptive work of her Son or elevate her as a special object of veneration. |
| I declare that for the proper functioning of the church, and in order to relieve the pastor of an abundance of temporal duties and allow him to focus on the ministry of the word of God, the Spirit led the apostles to institute the office of "ministry," whose officers are commonly called deacons. |
| I declare that all that is employed in worship should be subject to the approval of the senior pastor for its biblical and theological content and for its appropriateness to the church and the occasion. |
