CICCU is a member of the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF), which is affiliated to the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES). With these groups CICCU shares a Doctrinal Basis which is an expression of the basis Biblical truths which underlie all they do. And so as a member of CICCU, we agree with their Doctrinal Basis, which is as follows...

 

The unity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.

 

The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgement.

 

The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

 

The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, rendering man subject to God's wrath and condemnation.

 

The full deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate son of God; his virgin birth and his real and sinless humanity; his death on the cross, his bodily resurrection and his present reign in heaven and earth.

 

Redemption from guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death once for all time of our representative and substitute, Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and man.

 

Justification as God's act of undeserved mercy, in which the sinner is pardoned of all his sins, and accepted as righteous in God's sight, only because of the righteousness of Christ imputed to him, this justification being received by faith alone.

 

The need for the Holy Spirit to make the work of Christ effective to the individual sinner, granting him repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ.

 

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all those thus regenerated, producing in them an increasing likeness to Christ in character and behavior, and empowering them for their witness in the world.

 

The one holy universal Church, which is the Body of Christ, and to which all true believers belong.

 

The future personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge all men, executing God's just condemnation of the impenitent and receiving the redeemed to eternal glory.
