Christian Doctrine Quiz

 

What is Christian doctrine? Simply put, doctrines are the basic beliefs of a religious or political body. Being a Christian is more than just going to church or being baptized. You need to know and believe essential doctrines; namely who God is, who man is in relation to God, what salvation is and why it is necessary.

Here is a short quiz in biblical theology. Some of the questions address essential Christian doctrines, while others regard non-essentials; meaning they are important, but not critical in order to be “saved.” Do you know which doctrines are the undeniable essentials of the Christian faith?
