Name
The term "Verax" is derived from the Latin word in the Vulgate (Latin Bible) meaning "true". This word appears, for example, in the last book of the New Testament, Revelation 19:11. In this heavenly vision, a rider on a white horse - called by that name - appears in the sky. According to the context of this verse, the rider is Jesus Christ, who, as King of kings and Lord of lords, has been invested with authority to judge the world. To this supreme ruler who is also the redeemer of his people is the ministry of the Verax Institute dedicated.
Theological Position
The Bible (Old and New Testament) is the divine revelation, inspired by the Holy Spirit and therefore is the only reliable source of truth und authority. Therefore all staff members at the Verax Institute agree to submit unreservedly to the comprehensive Lordship of Jesus Christ, in particular as it concerns the intellectual understanding, interpretation, and proclamation of biblical truth.
The Five Points of Calvinism: 1) Total Depravity; 2) Unconditional Election; 3) Limited Atonement; 4) Irresistible Grace; 5) Perseverance of the Saints. What these points doctrinally mean, will be succinctly explained on the page "Calvinism".
Baptist Ecclesiology: 1) believer's baptism; 2) church of the regenerate; 3) autonomy of the local church; 4) rejection of a state church system; 5) denial of a sacral society (theocracy)
