3 Question A Indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statements. Each answer is equal to 1 mark. (80) Number Question Answer 1 The word AGNOSTIC may be defined as belief in the existence of God. 2 No matter which people groups one investigates, a common thread is belief in the existence of a Superior Being 3 Cosmology is the study of being or existence. Universally mankind has a concept of an Infinite and Perfect Being without limitation 4 Mankind has the privilege of being able to communicate with and get to know His Creator through the Bible 5 Theophany refers to times when God chooses to manifest or reveal Himself in a way people can relate to. 6 Because God is outside of time, He sees the whole spectrum of time at once 7 Omnipotence means God is all present 8 God s GRACE is His underserved favor freely giving us what we do not deserve 9 The Bible teaches that we have been made in the image and likeness of God and, therefore, ought to display something of His character 10 God s name Elyon means God the creator 11 Whenever God wished to give a special revelation of Himself, He used the name JEHOVAH, His covenant name 12 The Old Testament was written in Greek and the New Testament was written in Hebrew 13 PATER means, FATHER and is a term often used in the Old Testament 14 Each Person in the Godhead expresses the whole fullness of the Godhead with all His attributes 15 Each Member of the trinity is distinct from the Other yet co-equal 16 Each of the Three Persons is eternal and all three are manifested as One Being 17 Our faith is in ONE GOD existing in three DISTINCT Persons 18 The material universe is eternal 19 Creation has been marred by sin and the Glory of God cannot be seen 20 Man is created in the image of God. This divine image has been sadly defaced, but mankind still reflects something of His Glory CC101 CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS EXAM 3

4 21 Man cannot ignore the Sovereignty of God, even though man himself is a free moral agent 22 God never forces man to behave like a robot. This is known as DECRETIVE SOVEREIGNTY 23 God s Fatherhood can be applied to all people in that He is the Father of creation 24 Use of Father in connection with ISRAEL by Covenant may also be applied to believers today 25 We become His children because of Christ s sacrifice on the Cross, redeeming us from our lost state of sin 26 Jesus at creation introduces us to HIS FATHER, Who is now OUR HEAVENLY FATHER 27 Jesus is God eternal 28 Jesus is God Almighty, co-equal in power and glory with the Father and the Holy Spirit 29 Jesus is not the Creator 30 There is also place for other gods or religions as far as Christ is concerned as all roads lead to God 31 The true humanity of Jesus Christ, the true divinity of Jesus Christ and the mission of Jesus Christ is the test of true doctrine 32 Jesus was not aware of His pre-existence 33 The Virgin Birth is actually the lesser miracle because God can do anything He pleases 34 Test tube babies shows the possibility of a virgin birth 35 When Jesus became man, He stopped being God 36 There are literally thousands of New Testament documents testifying to Christ s existence 37 Besides Jesus, Joseph and Mary did not have other children 38 Jesus was thought to be John the Baptist and Elijah 39 The deity (divinity) of Christ is a key doctrine of the Scriptures. If Christ is not God, then our salvation is invalid and Christianity is a mere philosophy 40 Jesus receives worship from men but nor from angels 41 Jesus is the only man that lived on earth who was without sin 42 Repentance is the same as remorse 43 The sacrifice of Christ was a self-sacrifice in which He laid down His life for sinners 44 The sacrificial death of Christ is rooted in the judgement of God for all mankind 45 Everyone will live forever either in the Presence of God or cut off from Him for all eternity 46 The resurrection of Christ proved His claims to be the Eternal Son of God CC101 CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS EXAM 4

5 47 Others have experienced a temporary separation of soul/spirit from their body and have entered into the actual realms of the dead and returned, as Christ did 48 The Ascension and Return of Christ are not linked in any way 49 The Greek word PARAKLETOS means Comforter or Advocate one called alongside to give aid 50 There was no difference to the way the Holy Spirit related to people in the Old and New Testaments 51 The Bible never treats the Holy Spirit as inferior. His functions may differ, but He is every bit as important as the Father and the Son coequal in power, glory and honor 52 The Holy Spirit is worshipped 53 Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is as serious as blasphemy against the Son 54 Rejection of the Holy Spirit means rejection of God Himself because the Holy Spirit is God. 55 Every Christian experiences the personal ministry of the Holy Spirit 56 The Holy Spirit works in us to make us holy and to sanctify us 57 The Holy Spirit assures the believer that scripture is true but does not preserve scripture 58 The Holy Spirit inspired the scriptures and gives fresh revelation of their meaning which at times goes beyond scripture 59 Jesus is God but is not dependent on the Holy Spirit 60 The Holy Spirit was the cause of Christ s birth, a supernatural miracle contrary to the laws of nature 61 Jesus was consecrated, empowered and equipped by the Holy Spiritat His birth 62 As the Perfect Man, Jesus did not depend on the power of the Holy Spirit s anointing 63 Christ s example of a Spirit-filled life is the blueprint for believers of all ages 64 Living the Christian life is impossible without the Holy Spirit 65 The Holy Spirit gives believers powerful ministries 66 At Pentecost The believers waited in obedience for the Holy Spirit to come upon them and everyone was filled with the Spirit and a few spoke in tongues 67 At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended upon the Church and He has never left this earth 68 The Holy Spirit empowers all believers for ministry and does not exclude anyone who is willing to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit 69 There is no difference between the GIFT of tongues and the MANIFESTATION or supernatural prayer language 70 The Gift of Tongues is for the edification of the Church and always requires interpretation CC101 CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS EXAM 5

6 71 God is the sole author of the Bible 72 The Canon of Scripture refers to those books which passed the test of inspiration by the Early Church Fathers and are recognized by the Church as original, authoritative and inspired 73 The addition of the New Testament books took place immediately after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost 74 The Apocrypha is also accepted as the inspired Word of God 75 The Bible is a unique book which carries the authority of God Himself 76 Science conflicts with the plain message of the Bible 77 There are literally hundreds of prophecies in the Bible which have been literally fulfilled and are still being literally fulfilled right up to the present time 78 In English there are twenty-six letters in the alphabet and HEBREW and GREEK languages have the same system 79 The Bible is the only book in existence constructed on this amazing numeric design 80 The Bible is unique in its continuity and circulation Question B Write down the Bible book and verse for the following passage of Scripture. Each answer is equal to 1 mark (15) Number Question Answer 1 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. 2 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. 3 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. CC101 CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS EXAM 6

7 4 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. 5 So Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 6 His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 7 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 8 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 9 Jesus said to Him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 10 Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father. 11 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 12 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 13 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you ANOTHER HELPER, that HE may abide with you forever; THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. CC101 CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS EXAM 7

8 14 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. 15 Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. \ Question C 1.
