1.
In one God, eternally existing in three persons
- God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit; alone to be worshipped and served;
2. In the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who
was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life,
died a substitutionary death on the cross for
us and in our stead, was buried, rose bodily from
death and ascended to the right hand of the Father,
from where He will return to earth and judge the
living and the dead;
3. In God the Holy Spirit, sent by God the Father
and God the Son to work among mankind in our time
bringing conviction of sin, and that He indwells
all believers, enabling them to live a godly life,
to obey God's Word, and to witness to the world
of the saving grace of God;
4.
That the Bible, as originally given, is the inspired,
inerrant, and entirely trustworthy word of God
to man, and is therefore the complete and final
authority in all matters of faith and conduct;
5.
That all mankind has sinned and fallen short of
the glory of God and therefore deserves the punishment
of a just God; and because of the exceeding sinfulness
of human nature, regeneration by the Holy spirit
is essential for salvation;
6.
That everyone who turns to Christ in repentance
and faith is justified freely from his sins by
the grace of God, and has eternal life;
7.
In the one holy universal church which is the
body of Christ to which all true believers belong;
and
8.
That in the end the bodies of all men will be
raised from the dead, the believers to life everlasting,
and the unbelievers to eternal damnation.
