What Church of God in Christ teaches

Positions bound by the denomination's confessional standards. This is what the tradition teaches; whether this specific congregation publicly holds each is a separate question — see Statements below.

Affirms
Denies
  • Apostolic Successionstandard
    Congregational and presbyterian polity reject the necessity of tactile episcopal succession.
  • Assumption of Marystandard
    Universal Protestant rejection — not attested in Scripture; not received as dogma.
  • Homosexual practice and biblical sexual ethicsSTRONG
    Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10; historic universal Christian teaching.
  • Immaculate ConceptionSTRONG
    Universal Protestant + Orthodox rejection. Orthodox reject on the grounds that they hold prepurification at the Annunciation, not conception.
  • Infant BaptismSTRONG
    Baptist confessions (New Hampshire; BFM 2000 VII); Anabaptist / Schleitheim; Pentecostal fundamentals
  • Perpetual Virginity of Marystandard
    Natural reading of Matthew 13:55–56 (brothers of Jesus); typical modern Baptist / evangelical position.
  • Real Presencestandard
    Memorialist / Zwinglian view; typical Baptist and Free Church position
  • TransubstantiationSTRONG
    Orthodox reject the Aristotelian metaphysics; Lutherans use 'sacramental union'; 39 Articles Art. XXVIII rejects explicitly; Reformed/Baptist reject substance-change.
Wrestles with
  • Pacifism vs. just-warweak
    Default just-war framework — usually unwritten. Inheriting at weak confidence.
  • Women in pastoral / ordained officeweak
    ACNA no unified position (some dioceses ordain women, others not). GMC restricts by role. COGIC restricts bishop role but ordains women to other ministries.
