Moderates may personally believe in the Virgin Birth but they do not think that is an essential doctrine. Moderates and conservatives agree in their belief that Jesus was both fully human and fully divine. They believe he was unique in all of human history and represents one of the three Persons of the Trinity. While moderates agree that Jesus death was not accident, they are uncomfortable with any form of substitutionary atonement. They prefer to see Jesus death as the ultimate demonstration of God's love rather than a ransom from sin.
Moderates accept the physical resurrection as a matter of personal faith.
Because they are skeptical of trying to prove the validity of faith based on biblical truth, they will say that belief in the physical resurrection is not central to Christianity. They agree with the liberals that the symbolic meaning of the resurrection is more important than the actual event. Human Nature- Moderates agree with conservatives on this one. Humankind was made in the image of God, however, that image was distorted and broken and we are now separated from God by our sins. Even in our sin that image of God remains.
