Official creed of United Church of Christ He calls us into his church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be his servants in the service of men, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ's baptism and eat at his table, to join him in his passion and victory. He promises to all who trust him forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, his presence in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in his kingdom which has no end. Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto him. Amen. The United Church of Christ embraces a theological heritage that affirms the Bible as the authoritative witness to the Word of God, the creeds of the ecumenical councils, and the confessions of the Reformation. The UCC has roots in the "covenantal" tradition-meaning there is no centralized authority or hierarchy that can impose any doctrine or form of worship on its members.

Hybrid-Universalism refuted: literal hell will come to an end ... Conscious torment in hell will end when each man has been punished in proportion to his sins, and all men will be saved. Introduction: Universalism teaches that all men will be saved based upon passages like Tit 2:11. "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men" Titus 2:11. Of course this passage is not teaching that all men will go to heaven, just that all men are given the opportunity to go to heaven. An paraphrase of Tit 2:11 would be: "For the grace of God has appeared, making salvation available to all men" or "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to the doorway of choices that is now available to all men" or "God's grace provided the blood of Christ ...
