Judgment after death affirmed; exact nature of hell not formally defined
The Zion Christian Church affirms that there is judgment after death and consequences for those who reject God's grace. However, the exact nature and character of hell is not formally defined in ZCC theology. The emphasis tends to be on the positive hope of eternal life rather than detailed doctrinal articulation of hell's nature.
