We assert ...
- that the Bible, authoritative, and inerrant, is the inspired, infallible, and eternal Word of God (Ps. 12:6, 19:7; Pro. 30:5-6; I Tim 3:16-17; II Pet. 1:21; Matt. 5:18; I Cor 2:13; John 1:1
- that there is one God, eternally coexistent, in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:26-27; Matt. 28:19; I John 1:1; II Cor. 13:14
- in the Diety and Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ (Heb. 1; John 1:1; Ps. 2:7), His virgin birth (Is. 7:14, Matt. 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38), His sinless life (Heb 4:15; II Cor 5:21; John 8:46); The descent of the Holy Ghost upon Him (Matt. 3:16-17; Mark 1:10-11); Luke 3:21-22), His miracles (Acts 2:22), His crucifixion and vicarious death providing an atonement through His shed blood (Matt 27:35; John 19:34-37; Rom. 2:25, 5:6-11; Eph. 1"7-8; Heb. 9:12-28; Col. 1:20-22; I Pet. 1:18-20; Rev. 1:5-6, 5:9-10), His bodily resurrection and post-resurrection appearances (Matt. 28; Mark 16; 1 Cor. 15; Rom. 1:4; Luke24:36-43, Acts 1:1-3), His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Ps. 110:1, Mark 16:19, Acts 1:4-11), and His physical return to rule the earth justly, in power, and glory (II Thess. 1:7-10; Luke 21:27, I Thess 4:15-18)
- that, while all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23), God has graciously and winderfully provided the only way of salvation from sin, death, and hell (John 14:6; Acts 4:10-12; I Pet. 1; John 3:1-21), regeneration and scantification of lost, sinful men by the Holy Spirit (Tit. 3:4-7), and access to heaven (Heb. 4:14-16), all through faith in His Son Jesus Christ, the incorruptible Word of God (Eph. 2:7-8; Rom. 5:1-2)
- in two ressurrections: those saved unto the resurrection of life, and those that are lost and unregenerate unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29; Dan. 12:2; Luke 14:14; Rev. 20:5-15)
- in the spiritual unity of true believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:26-29; Eph. 4:3-6,13; I Cor. 12:12-27)
- and in the baptism and indwelling of the Holy Spirit, enabling Christians to live a godly and victorious life that manifests the fruits of the Spirit (Matt. 3:11; Luke 3:16; Acts 2, 19:1-8; Rom. 8:13-14, 14:17; Gal. 5:16-25; Eph 5:9,18; Joel 2:28-29; I John 3:22-24).
