There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing
in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is the true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the just for the unjust,
as a substitutionary sacrifice, and for all who believe in Him are justified on
the grounds of His shed blood.
He arose from the dead according to the scriptures. He is now at the right hand
of God on high as our Great High Priest. He will come again to establish His
Kingdom, righteousness and peace.
The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the
believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness and judgement.
The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given
were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the
salvation of man. They constitute the divine and only rule of the Christian
faith and practice.
Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God: he fell through
disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born
with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only
through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The portion of the unrepentant
and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment; and that of the believer,
in everlasting joy and bliss in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who
repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of Eternal life, and become Children of God.
It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be
sanctified wholly, being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will
of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. This is
both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent
to conversion.
Provision made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ of the healing of the
mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the scriptures and
are the privileges for the Church in this present age.
The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed
through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the head of the body,
the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into the world as a witness, preaching
the Gospel to all nations. The Local Church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined
together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer,
fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and the observance of the ordinances of Baptism
and the Lord’s Supper.
There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust: for the just, a
resurrection unto Life; for the unjust, a resurrection unto judgement.
The second coming of the Lord Jesus is imminent and will be personal, visible, and
premillennial. This is the believers blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive
for holy living and faithful service.
