GOD EXISTS externally in three persons as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are one God, and there is no other true God.
THE BIBLE is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired and preserved by God. It is equal in all parts, without error in its origin, and divinely authoritative for faith and practice for every age and every life.
GOD IS the absolute and sole Creator of the universe, and creation was by divine fiat, not through evolutionary process.
JESUS CHRIST is God the Son, and was both God and man while on the earth in the flesh. He was born of a virgin, lived a perfect, sinless life, was crucified and died as the penalty for our sins, was raised bodily from the dead on the third day, appeared to His disciples and as many as five hundred at one time, ascended to the Father’s right hand, and is personally, bodily, and visibly coming again to earth.
THE HOLY SPIRIT is a person, is God, and possesses all the divine attributes. He indwells all believers at the moment of salvation, and fills them in response to confession of sin and full yieldedness to Him.
MAN IS BORN a sinner and totally depraved, void of any righteousness, without God. The whole human race has fallen into the sin of Adam, bringing personally upon each one physical, spiritual, and the possibility of eternal death.
JESUS CHRIST provides the only way to salvation through his substitutionary death and shed blood on the cross. Salvation is entirely apart from good works, the keeping of Old Testament Law, baptism, church membership, or any of man’s efforts, and is of pure grace.
THE CHURCH, also named the Body or Bride of Christ, consists only of those who are born again, who are now called sons of God. Christ’s imminent return for the Church will bring complete perfection, sanctification, and glory for the Church in Himself.
