The Wesleyan Reform Union Confession of Faith was accepted at a conference in 1970, and later modified by conference of 2008: • That there is
one true and living God, eternally existing in
three Persons:
Father,
Son and
Holy Spirit: maker of heaven and earth; Him alone we
worship and adore. • That the
Holy Scriptures, both
Old and
New Testaments, as originally given, are of
divine inspiration and
infallible, supreme in
authority in all matters of
faith and conduct. • That all have
sinned and come short of the
glory of God, and are thereby subject to
God's wrath and condemnation. •
That God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the
virgin Mary, and that He is truly God and truly Man, Jesus
Christ our
Lord. • That the Lord Jesus Christ offered Himself as the
substitutionary sacrifice for the sin of the whole world, He was
raised from the dead,
ascended into heaven to be our
Advocate and Mediator, and that He will personally return in power and glory. • That the Holy Spirit is a divine Person both equal to and of one
substance with the Father and the Son, that His work is necessary to make the
death of Christ effective to the individual sinner, granting him
repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ, and that He also in dwells every believer as his Sanctifier, thus placing His
seal upon him as a child of God. • That the Lord Jesus Christ is the
Head of the Church. • In the
Priesthood of all believers, and that we being members one of another, are one body in Christ Jesus, having equality of spiritual opportunities as the
sacred right of all. • That the
Sacraments are an outward and visible
sign of an inward and
spiritual grace, and that only
Baptism and
the Lord's Supper were instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ as such, maintaining that the proper subjects for Baptism are believers and children to be brought up within the fellowship of Christ's Church. ==Structure==
