Workman Confession of Faith

The Workman Confession of Faith is a comprehensive statement of Christian doctrine written to clearly define, organize, and defend the essential beliefs of the Christian faith from a dispensational and Pauline perspective.

Designed for serious Bible students, teachers, ministry leaders, families, and believers seeking greater doctrinal clarity, this confession moves beyond a brief statement of faith and presents a systematic framework for understanding what Scripture teaches about God, Christ, salvation, the Church, Israel, Christian living, prophecy, and the believer’s place in the present dispensation of grace.

At the heart of the confession is a commitment to the authority and sufficiency of Scripture and to the command to “rightly divide the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).

A Confession Built for Study

The Workman Confession of Faith is not intended merely to state conclusions. Its articles and numbered paragraphs are designed to create a theological framework that can be studied, referenced, discussed, and compared directly with Scripture.

The confession maintains the distinction between Israel’s prophetic program and the Body of Christ, emphasizes the gospel of the grace of God, and gives careful attention to the distinctive revelation entrusted to the Apostle Paul.

At the same time, it remains firmly rooted in the historic doctrines of the Christian faith concerning the Trinity, the deity and humanity of Christ, His bodily resurrection, salvation by grace through faith, and the final authority of the written Word of God.

More Than a Statement of Faith

This resource can be used as:

• A personal doctrinal reference
• A Bible-study framework
• A teaching resource
• A discipleship tool
• A foundation for a Bible fellowship or ministry
• A guide for discussing difficult theological questions
• A companion for systematic theological study

Each article is organized so individual doctrines can be studied independently while remaining part of a unified theological system.

Scripture First

The purpose of this confession is not to place a human document above Scripture.

A confession has authority only insofar as it faithfully represents what Scripture teaches.

The reader is therefore encouraged to examine every doctrine in light of the Word of God, following the Berean example of searching the Scriptures to determine whether these things are so.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” — 2 Timothy 2:15

The Workman Confession of Faith provides a structured foundation for believers who desire to know what they believe, understand why they believe it, and become better equipped to study, defend, and teach the truth of Scripture.
