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.

Famous quotes containing the word doctrine:
“Methodological individualism is the doctrine that psychological states are individuated with respect to their causal powers.”
—Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)
“What ails it, intrinsically, is a dearth of intellectual audacity and of aesthetic passion. Running through it, and characterizing the work of almost every man and woman producing it, there is an unescapable suggestion of the old Puritan suspicion of the fine arts as such—of the doctrine that they offer fit asylum for good citizens only when some ulterior and superior purpose is carried into them.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The great word Evolution had not yet, in 1860, made a new religion of history, but the old religion had preached the same doctrine for a thousand years without finding in the entire history of Rome anything but flat contradiction.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
