Doctrine
CCCB is a college based on using the Bible only (as are the independent Christian churches that support it), hence many of the beliefs taught in denominational churches are not prevalent within the campus. One particular teaching that many incoming students disagree with is the idea that baptism is an essential part of the whole plan of salvation. This comes from a plethora of Scriptures on that topic: Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:16, John 3:5, Acts 2:38, Acts 16:33, Acts 8:36-39, Romans 6:4-6, Colossians 2:12, 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 22:16, Galatians 3:27, and Ephesians 4:5. Arguably, this is the most controversial topic, particularly at the beginning of a student's term. Many new students to the college have difficulty adjusting to this idea as it is not widely taught outside of churches within the Restoration Movement today; therefore, the college urges that applicants should thoroughly understand this before making a decision to attend.
