The Bible
The Bible is inspired of God,
inerrant in the original documents, fully trustworthy and of final
authority in all matters of faith and practice.
God-The Trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in
three Persons – Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born
of the Virgin Mary, was true God and true man existing in one person
and was without sin. His sacrifice is representative and substitutionary.
He rose bodily from the dead, ascended to the Father where He now
ministers as Lord of all, High Priest and Advocate and will one
day return in power and glory.
Salvation
Each member of the human race is fallen, sinful and lost and regeneration
by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of
man. Redemption is wholly by the blood of Christ and salvation is
by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit indwells and gives life to believers, enables them
to understand and apply the Scriptures, empowers them for godly
living and equips them for service and witness.
Eternity
There will be a resurrection of the saved and of the lost; of the
saved unto eternal life, and of the lost unto eternal and conscious
judgment.
The Church
The Church began with the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost
and is composed of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
These believers are united to Him and to one another by the indwelling
Spirit. This means that the Church, as a whole, is not an organization
but a living organism, known as the Body of Christ.
