The
Bible
- The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired
Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete
revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the Divine
and final authority for Christian faith and life.
God
- In one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally
existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus
Christ
- That Jesus Christ is true God and true man having been conceived
of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the
cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further,
He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at
the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest
and Advocate.
The
Holy Spirit
- That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord
Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men, regenerate the
believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer
for godly living and service.
In
Man
- That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and
is, therefore, lost and only through regeneration by the Holy
Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
Salvation
- That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide
the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe,
and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit,
and thus, become children of God.
Communion
and Baptism
- That water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances
to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are,
however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation.
The
Church
- That the true Church is composed of all such persons who through
saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy
Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which
He is the Head.
That only those who are, thus, members of the Church shall be
eligible for membership in the local church.
That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church and that
every local church has the right, under Christ, to decide and
govern its own affairs.
The
Lord's Return
- In the personal premillennial and imminent coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ and that this "Blessed Hope" has a vital
bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
The
After Life
- In the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting
blessedness and joy with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment
and everlasting conscious punishment.
