-
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the inspired Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
-
In one God, Creator of all things, and eternally existing in three persons...the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17).
-
In the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, incarnation, and sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death on the cross, in His resurrection from the dead, and in His ascension into heaven where He is at the right hand of God and from where He will return with power and glory. (Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, John 14:3).
-
Persons are justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1).
-
In the sanctifying, in filling, and empowering ministry of the Holy Spirit.
-
That all people are lost in sin apart from a relationship with Jesus Christ and that the only way to salvation is by repentance and faith in Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit.
-
In the regeneration of the believer by the Holy Spirit into the image of Christ, and in laboring together for the advancement of God's Kingdom. (John 3:1-19).
-
In the resurrection of both the believer and the unbeliever, that the believer will be raised to everlasting life and the unbeliever to everlasting punishment. (Matthew 25:41-46).
-
In the Church as Christ's body, united under His Lordship, marked by baptism, and equipped and energized by the Holy Spirit for worship, witness and service. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13, 27-28; Ephesians 4:4-7, 11-16).
-
In the bodily return of Christ in glory and judgment, and we live in the hope of the new heaven and the new earth, and of our eternal dwelling with God among his holy people. (Matthew 24:42-44; 1 Thessalonians 5:2-11; Revelation 21:1-8, 22-27).
