Welcome to Latter Day Grace
The Restoration Movement has been characterized by several key principles:
- Christianity should not be divided; Christ intended the creation of one church.
- Creeds divide, but Christians should be able to find agreement by standing on the Bible (from which they believe all creeds are but human expansions or constrictions)
- Ecclesiastical traditions divide, but Christians should be able to find common ground by following the practice (as best as it can be determined) of the early church.
- Names of human origin divide, but Christians should be able to find common ground by using biblical names for the church (i.e., “Christian Church”, “Church of God” or “Church of Christ” as opposed to “Methodist” or “Lutheran”, etc.).
- Thus, the church “should stress only what all Christians hold in common and should suppress all divisive doctrines and practices”.
- Several slogans have been used in the Restoration Movement, which are intended to express some of the distinctive themes of the movement:
- “Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent.” (Some restated this as): “Where the Scriptures speak, we are silent; where the Scriptures are silent, we speak.” (Both are generally saying the same thing.)
- “The Church of Jesus Christ on earth is essentially, intentionally, and constitutionally one.”
- “We are Christians only, but not the only Christians.”
- “In essentials, unity; in opinions, liberty; in all things love.”
- “No creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, no law but love, no name but the divine.”
- “Do Bible things in Bible ways.”
- “Call Bible things by Bible names.”
