Book of Common PrayerIt is a most invaluable part of that blessed liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, that in his worship different forms and usages may without offense be allowed, provided the substance of the Faith be kept entire (Book of Common Prayer, p. 9). And so God has his servant stand up in the midst of it all, and he says, Now, I want you to know that these people arent drunk, as some of you are suggesting. Since God is the Lord of history and has revealed Himself by acts in history and has in the person of His Son actually entered into mans history, we acknowledge that the historical framework in which the Gospel message is set in Scripture is an essential part of the Word. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, Yes, these things happened. We affirm that Adam and Eve were real historical human beings, the first two people in the world, and that their fall was a historical occurrence which brought sin into the world so that since the fall of Adam all men who are propagated according to nature are born in sin (AC, II, 1).

That the Holy Spirit did not inspire the actual words of the Biblical authors but merely provided these men with special guidance. That the Holy Scriptures are inspired only in the sense that all Christians are inspired to confess the lordship of Jesus Christ. The CatechismIt is a commentary on the creeds, but is not meant to be a complete statement of belief and practices; rather, it is a point of departure for the teacher (Book of Common Prayer, p. 844). The doctrine of the Apostolic Church is similar to most evangelical churches. We look for the resurrection of the dead, Jesus does not establish different churches, but one Church, with apostolic succession and sacraments as the guarantee of the Churchs unity.
