-
The
Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God. In these
testaments we find the complete revelation of God’s will
for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for
all Christian faith and life.
-
There
is one God, Creator of all things, who is infinitely perfect and
eternally existent in three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
-
Jesus
Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Ghost
and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice
for our sins. Further, He arose bodily from the dead,
ascended into Heaven, and is now at the right hand of the Father as
our High Priest and Advocate.
-
Man was created in the Image of God but fell into sin and is
therefore lost. Only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit
can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. The shed blood
of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only
grounds for justification and salvation.
-
Water
baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the
Church during the present age. However, they are not to be
regarded as a means of salvation.
-
The
ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.
During this age He indwells, guides, instructs, and
empowers the believer for godly living and service. Every believer
can and should be filled with the Holy Spirit with the initial
physical evidence of speaking with other tongues.
-
The
true Church is composed of all those who are born-again. Through the
new birth we are united together in the Body of Christ. Jesus
Christ is the Head of the Church.
-
The
atonement of Jesus Christ provides for the healing of the body, as
well as salvation of the spirit.
-
The
resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ, together
with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the
Lord, is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church.
-
There shall be a bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to
everlasting joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to
judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
