1.
The Bible is the inspired and
inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. 2.
There is one God, eternal and
self-existing in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), who are to be
equally loved, honored and adored. 3.
All mankind participated in
Adam's fall from his original sinless state and is thus lost in sin and totally
helpless. 4.
The Sovereign God, for no
other reason than His own unfathomable love and mercy, has chosen lost sinners
from every nation to be redeemed by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit and
through the atoning death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. 5.
Those sinners whom the Spirit
quickens, come to believe in Christ as Savior by the Word of God, are born
again, become sons of God, and will persevere to the end. 6.
Justification is by faith and
through it the undeserving sinner is clothed with the righteousness of Christ. 7.
The goal of God's salvation in
the life of the Christian is holiness, good works, and service for the glory of
God. 8.
At death the Christian's soul
passes immediately into the presence of God and the unbeliever's soul is
eternally separated from God unto condemnation. 9.
Baptism is a sign of God's covenant
and is properly administered to children of believers in their infancy as well
as to those who come as adults to trust in Christ. 10. Jesus Christ will return to earth, visibly and bodily at a
time when He is not expected, to consummate history and the eternal plan of
God. 11. The Gospel of God's salvation in Jesus Christ must be
published to all the world as a witness before Jesus Christ returns. | ||||||||
