(While each of us holds fast to additional beliefs important to our relationship with God, the following statement outlines the tenets that provide a foundation for our fellowship and participation in the Christian Medical & Dental Associations®.)
I believe:
In the divine inspiration and final authority of the Bible as the Word of God;

In the unique Deity of Jesus Christ, God's only Son, whose death and resurrection provide by grace through faith the only means of my salvation;
In the transforming presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
