Study Notes
Unity and Diversity in Christianity
- Christian unity: Primarily based on God bringing people of different backgrounds into one family by faith in Christ, not a single denomination, nor agreement on every doctrine aspect.
- Christian diversity: Refers to the hundreds of denominations, each with unique traditions and practices. It is not a rejection of similarity, rather a recognition of many paths to faith.
- Symbolism of the Christian tree branches: Denotes the many different denominations within Christianity.
- Christian unity foundation: Based on belief in Jesus Christ's resurrection and the Trinity.
The Holy Trinity
- Definition of the Holy Trinity: Belief in God as a singular entity existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Christian Understanding of the Trinity
- Correct understanding of the Trinity: God existing as three distinct persons in one essence.
Denominations and Practices
- Not a Christian denomination: Hindu.
- Baptist denomination practice: Typically performs baptism through total immersion, regardless of age.
- Difference between total immersion and infant baptism: Total immersion baptism involves submerging an adult in water, while infant baptism involves marking the baby. Total immersion is a symbolic representation of adulthood in the church.
- Baptismal candle symbolism: Represents the light of Christ and acceptance into the church community, signifying a new beginning in faith.
The Role of Apostles
- Main task of the apostles: To spread the message that 'heaven is near' (in essence; spreading the Christian message).
- Role of disciples after Jesus's death: To spread Jesus' teachings, act as his representatives; apostles continuing Jesus's work.
Liturgy and Symbols
- Purpose of liturgy in Christianity: To serve as a ritual for Christian worship and a communal form of prayer for the followers.
- Common Christian symbol: A candle.
Sectarianism and Ecumenism

- Christian value that clashes with sectarianism: Charity.
