The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and
authoritative written Word of God.
There is one true and holy God, eternally existent
in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His
sinless life, all of His miracles, His atoning death
as a substitute for us, made effective through His
shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, that He has
ascended to the right hand of the Father, and in His
personal return at the final judgment.
Believe that the Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and the Son
in all the Divine attributes. He awakens the minds
of people to awareness of their sin, and brings them
to understanding and conviction of their need for
the Savior through the Holy Scripture. He
regenerates them at the point of salvation, and He
indwells every believer and equips him or her for
personal growth and service to the church. The Holy
Spirit is the Divine good-faith guarantee who seals
and confirms the believer is the child of God in
expectation of final redemption
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are
saved unto the resurrection of life and they that
are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
The only means of being cleansed from sin is through faith,
repentance and washing in the precious blood of
Christ.
In one baptism, by full immersion, in which Christ washes away the
sins of those who believe in Him and trust His
promise to cleanse and save them. This is the
washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy
Spirit.
One body, the Church. The Holy Spirit places all who submit in
obedient faith to Jesus in this spiritual body. The
Scripture tells believers that it is imperative to
assemble together in order to devote themselves to
worship, prayer, teaching of the word, observance of
the Lords Supper, fellowship, service to the body
and outreach to the world.
