Jesus Christ

The Eternal Son of God became incarnate in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is true God and true man, having been born of the virgin Mary.

(John. 1:1, 14, 18; Matthew. 1:21-23; Hebrews 1:6, 8; 1 John. 5:20; 1 Timothy 2:5)

​

The Bible

Every word in the original writings of the Holy Scriptures is inspired of God and without error. 

(2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Corinthians 2:13)

​

The Trinity

The Godhead exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one God.

(Genesis 1:1; John 10:30, 4:24; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

​

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Godhead, who regenerates, indwells, baptizes and seals all true believers in Christ and fills those yielded to God.

(Matthew 28:19; John 1:13; 3:3-6; Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 6:19; Romans 8:9; 1 Cor. 12:13; Ephesians 4:30)

​

Salvation

Salvation is received by faith alone in Christ, who died in substitutionary sacrifice for our sins and rose again.

(Acts 4:12; 13:38-39; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:4-5; 5:1)

​

All who are born of the Spirit through faith in Christ can have the assurance of salvation and are eternally secure in Christ. (Romand 5:1; John 3:5-6; 1 John 5:13; John 10:28-29; 17:12; 2 Timothy 1:12)

​

Sanctification

Every true believer is promised positional and ultimate sanctification with progressive development in life spiritually.

(Hebrews 10:10-14; John 17:17; Ephesians 5:26-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4; 1 John 3:2)

​

Human Race

Man was created in the image and likeness of God, but in Adam all mankind fell into sin with the result that all men are sinners, hopelessly sinful in themselves, apart from the grace of God. 

(Genesis 1:27, 9:6; Romans 5:12, 3:23; Ephesians 2:1)

​

The Church

The Church, embracing all true believers, is the body and bride of Christ, formed by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 

(Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:24-25, 30; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, 27)

​

Christians are called to a holy life of service and testimony in the power of the Holy Spirit, which service includes the propagation of the Gospel message to the whole world. There is promised reward in heaven for faithfulness in such service. 

(1 Peter 1:15-16; John 12:25-26; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 3:12-15)

​

Ordinances

The scriptural ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper are for all true believers in Christ. 

(Matthew 28:19-20; Mark16:15-16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 9:18; 10:47; 1 Corinthians 1:16; 11:23-26)

​

Angels

Angels were originally created holy, but now exist as unfallen and fallen including Satan. 

(Colossians 1:16; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 143:2-5; Jude 6; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 12:9; Ephesians 6:11-12)

​

Eschatology

The imminent return of the Lord, which is the blessed hope of the Church, is to be followed in order by: the tribulation; the establishment of the reign of Christ on earth for one thousand years; the eternal state of punishment for the unsaved and the eternal state of blessing for the saved. 

(Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 4:13-18; 5:4-10; Revelation 3:10; Matthew 24:21, 29-30)
