Doctrinal Qualifications for Students
To maintain continuity and consistency with its heritage, Moody Bible Institute requires all faculty and administration to agree with, personally adhere to and support the school's doctrinal statements. These distinctives identify what is believed and taught in our classes. The school recognizes, however, that its specific theological positions do not define orthodoxy for the whole of the body of Christ. For this reason, Moody Bible Institute accepts students from other theological traditions within conservative evangelicalism. However, to be admitted and to graduate students must personally adhere to and support the following doctrinal positions:
- the inspiration, authority and inerrancy of Scripture
- the Trinity
- the full deity and full humanity of Christ
- the creation of the human race in the image of God
- the spiritual lostness of the human race
- the substitutionary atonement and bodily resurrection of Christ
- salvation by grace through faith alone in Christ alone
- the physical and imminent return of Christ
- the eternal reward of the righteous and the eternal judgment of the lost
