What does it take to be a Christian? What exactly must someone “believe” to be a member in God’s family? And why is it that so many people who all claim to be Christians don’t actually share common beliefs? In eciple: Core, pastor and author Matt Eachus addresses each of these questions and more as he examines the core of faith, providing what he calls an irreducible minimum of Christian belief. Through this video-enhanced eciple eBook, Matt will help you discover the core of conversion, what precisely people must believe in order to be a Christian the way the Bible describes a Christian. An investigation into the “fundamentals” of the faith follows and is sure to help provide some clarity and much needed common ground while Matt explains key doctrinal positions with straightforward and easy-to-understand language. Whether you are new to the faith and looking for basic instruction or a long-time follower of Jesus trying to sharpen your understanding of the faith, this eBook is for you.
