1. ABOUT GOD

- God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe.
- He has eternally existed in three persons:

   - The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

       - These three are co-equal and are one God.

2. JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD

- Jesus is co-equal with the Father and the Spirit.

- Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all

  the World by dying on a cross. (For whosoever will believe in Him) 

- He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death.

- He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign

  as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

3. ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

- The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God.

- He is present in the world to make men aware of sin and their need for Jesus Christ.

- He also indwells every Christian from the moment of salvation.

- He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and

  guidance in doing what is right He gives every believer spiritual gifts when they are saved.

- As Christians, we seek to live under his control daily.

Ephesians 1:13, 5:18;  Gal 5:25

​

4. ABOUT THE BIBLE

- The Bible is God's Word to us.

- It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.

- We hold to a Verbal-Plenary Inspiration of the Scriptures

- It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

- Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.

 

2 Timothy 3:16;  2 Peter 1:20, 21;  2 Timothy 1:13;  Psalms 119:105, 160, 12:6;  Proverbs 30:5

 

5. ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS

- People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character.

- People are the supreme object of God's creation.

- Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of

  disobedience toward God called "sin."

- This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.

 

Genesis 1:27;  Psalm 8:3-6;  Isaiah 53:6a;  Romans 3:23;  Isaiah 59:1, 2

​

6. ABOUT SALVATION

- Salvation is God's free gift to us but we must accept it.

- We can never make up for our sin by self­ improvement or good works.

- Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's

  penalty (death).

- Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

- When we turn from our self-ruled life to a Jesus Christ-ruled life,

  God then commands us to do good works.

 

Romans 6:23, 5:1;  Ephesians 2:8-10;  John 14:6, 1:12;  Titus 3:5

​

7. ABOUT ETERNITY

- People were created to exist forever.  

- We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin,

  or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation.

- To be eternally separated from God is Hell. 

- To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. 

- Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.

 

John 3:16, 14:17;  Romans 6:23, 8:17-18;  Revelation 20:15;  1 Corinthians 2: 7-9
