Theology New Apostolic Christians believe in the Trinity: God the Father, the creator of the world; God the Son (Jesus) the Son of Man), personified God, redeemer and Head of the Church; and the Holy Spirit, who guides the church by his revelations, gives knowledge to the believers and acts universally. In this, NAC hardly differs from other Trinitarian churches. The religion accepts the Apostles' Creed, believes in the sacramental nature of Holy Communion and baptism, considers the Bible as the authority of the word of God, the second coming of Christ and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. According to French Bishop Jean Vernette, the New Apostolic members are "strict millenarists", but sociologist Gilles Séraphin stated their millenarism is less pronounced than that of Jehovah's Witnesses and Adventists, and that this is a "église de Réveil", which retains a Pentecostal look from its origins. In December 2012, the New Apostolic Church's catechism was made available. It "contains a detailed description of the New Apostolic doctrine and expresses the Church’s position on various topics". Bible In the New Apostolic Church the Bible is granted a high authority, because its writers were inspired by the Holy Spirit. The English congregations have officially used the New King James Version since 1998. It is the duty of the Apostles to watch over the regular exegesis. The apostles interpret the Bible in the same way as Protestantism and Catholicism, except for their interpretation of Holy Sealing and beliefs about the departed. The District Apostles' meeting from 22 to 24 September 2004 in Nice emphasised again that the Holy Scripture is recognised and regarded as the doctrinal basis of the NAC. In particular, the statements of the New Testament, especially the gospel of Jesus and the epistles of the Apostles, are of definitive importance. Individual Biblical books and passages, along with statements of Apostles and ministers of the New Apostolic Church, must have grounding in the Holy Scriptures. The doctrine and its proclamation must not contradict the fundamental statements of the gospel. The church regards the basis of this faith as being found in the Bible, including the Apocrypha. In 2005, a District Apostles Meeting declared that "the Apocrypha are just as binding for the faith and doctrine of the New Apostolic Church as the other writings of the Old Testament" (see official statement here). Sacraments The New Apostolic Church knows three sacraments: Holy Baptism
