What document did the Assembly adopt in 1948 that outlines faith?

• A. Declaration of Faith
• B. Confession of Faith
• C. Doctrinal Statement
• D. Statement of Beliefs

Answer: (A)

This item tests how a denomination formally codified its beliefs in a single, authoritative document. In 1948 the Assembly adopted a document titled Declaration of Faith, chosen to publicly and officially summarize the core beliefs of the denomination. This title signals a solemn, declarative proclamation of doctrine that serves as the standard reference for teaching, membership, and ministry within the church. While other names like Confession of Faith, Doctrinal Statement, or Statement of Beliefs are common for doctrinal summaries, they were not the exact title adopted by the Assembly in that year. The Declaration of Faith became the key reference point for what the church teaches and believes.
