Doctrine
Doctrinal Similarities
Basic Minimum Knowledge - Salvation
As Christians we all have something in common. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. We believe:
That the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
That the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
That God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Doctrinal Differences
In the Spirit - We recognize that the CCDOT Program will be taught by and to individuals of every denomination. The purpose of the CCDOT Program is recovery from chemical dependency. Therefore, such terms as "Baptized in the Spirit", "Slain in the Spirit", "Faith Healing", "Speaking in Tongues", and practices related to those terms, shall not be demonstrated in teaching the CCDOT Program. We all agree on the way to salvation, be we do not all agree on some "post graduate" areas. Areas of disagreement can cause confusion and disillusionment, thereby harming the cause of Christ. It may even cause some host facilities to cancel the CCDOT Program. We shall therefore, leave the "post graduate" areas to the new believer, and the Holy Spirit -- without our assistance. Any questions regarding these areas should be referred to the Pastor or head of the host organization.
Power of God - Step 11 of the CCDOT Program includes the idea of "praying . . . for the power". The course text includes the statement, "Ask the Holy Spirit for help and guidance." This is not an open invitation to teach the "post graduate" areas described in the previous paragraph. Not only should we all agree on the way to salvation, we should all recognize the role of the Holy Spirit in salvation and in giving us the power to overcome temptation. Therefore, we accept the teaching of 'praying for the power of God.
Discipline - Anyone who comes against the authority of, or offends any Pastor or head of the host organization, shall be removed from the facility and be subject to CCDOT Discipline.
Violations of the CCDOT Policies and Procedures shall result in disciplinary action. Such action may take the form of reprimand, probation, suspension, and/or legal sanctions. Discipline is not considered punishment, but a part of the Christian growth process. A person may be suspended for an indefinite period of time, depending on the offense.
Agreement - By entering the any host facility I hereby agree to the above rules and regulations.
