The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to men, infallible, without error, and superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the Divine and final authority of Christian faith and life.
2. THE ONE TRUE GOD
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed "I AM," and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, by simultaneously existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons.
3. TRUE GOD AND TRUE MAN
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.
4. MAN: HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION
Man was created good and upright, for God said, "Let Us make man in Our image and after Our likeness." But man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, where salvation and spiritual life can be obtained.
5. THE SALVATION OF MAN
The grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, and being justified by grace, has become heir of God according to the hope of eternal life. The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit. The outward evidence to all men is a life of holiness.
6. BAPTISM IN WATER
The ordinance of baptism by burial with Jesus Christ should be observed (as commanded in the Scriptures) by all that have repented of their sins and in their hearts have believed on Christ as their Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been released to walk with Him in newness of life.
Baptism in water is not to be regarded as a means of salvation.
7. THE LORD'S SUPPER (COMMUNION)
The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing in a memorial to His suffering and death, and prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined to all believers "until He comes."
8. THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER
All believers should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, which is the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth.
9. SANCTIFICATION
By th epower of the Holy Spirit we strive to obey the command, "Be holy, for I am holy." Sanctification, being set apart for the will of God, should be earnestly pursued by all believers by walking in obedience to God's Word.
10. THE CHURCH
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. The church is the holy Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer is an integral part of the Church, and their names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
11. MINISTRY
Divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two-fold purpose: 1) The evangelization of the world, and 2) The edification of the body of Christ.
12. DIVINE HEALING
Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of all believers.
13. THE BLESSED HOPE
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. That the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together with those who are alive and remain unto the Lord, is imminent and is the hope of the church.
14. THE LAKE OF FIRE
The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Lamb's Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
15. THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH
We, as promised in the Scriptures, look for a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness.
