In short, the following is central to our faith:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Our faith is based on the Bible, the Holy Scripture, which is given by inspiration from God. The Bible is our only authoritative text, and it contains everything people need for their salvation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We believe in God the Father, the Almighty, the creator of heaven and earth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before time, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born into the world of the Virgin Mary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We believe that in grace there is forgiveness of sin, and that grace will further lead the believer into sanctification, to bear fruit for God.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We believe that the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, will teach us and remind us of all that Jesus has commanded us.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We adhere to the Apostle&#8217;s Creed and the Nicene Creed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, our faith is based on the teachings, values, and Christian content that Johan O. Smith represented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-bcc-button-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button \" href=\"https:\/\/innsikt.bcc.no\/forkynnelse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more: What does BCC preach?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h3 id=\"at-981\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">What is BCC\u2019s view of homosexuality and relationship ethics?<\/h3><div id=\"ac-981\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>BCC respects the right of all people to make personal choices according to the rights established by society, and believes that all people are loved by God, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, we believe that the Bible has established marriage between a man and a woman as the framework for sexual relations. We therefore believe that living in a cohabitation or homosexual relationship is not compatible with the Bible&#8217;s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button arrow_right_alt\" href=\"\/2020\/01\/patvinger-bcc-andre-sitt-syn-pa-homofilt-samliv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more: BCC&#8217;s view on relationship ethics<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h3 id=\"at-982\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">What is BCC&#8217;s view of women?<\/h3><div id=\"ac-982\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>BCC works to ensure that both women and men are included and equal in the church. Women in BCC participate in board work, as youth workers, in the Assembly of Representatives, and a number of other church tasks. They are also active in the church&#8217;s gatherings, speaking, praying, and singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every community has a culture, which is often characterized by traditions and unwritten rules. From the middle of the last century, the view of women in the church developed in a direction where there was a culture of restricting rather than facilitating women&#8217;s development in church life. But then there was a clear shift about 30 years ago, when K\u00e5re J. Smith became spiritual leader. He worked to involve women more in the work of the church. Since then, the culture has gradually evolved in a healthy direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, the role of elder is the only one that is reserved for men. This is not an absolute requirement, but based on BCC&#8217;s understanding of what Paul writes to the Ephesians, the Corinthians, Timothy and Titus, men will be chosen as elders as long as there is someone suitable for the task.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h3 id=\"at-983\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">What is the connection between BCC and Brunstad?<\/h3><div id=\"ac-983\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>The venue at Brunstad in Sandefjord municipality in Norway has been an international gathering place for conferences since 1956.
