The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternal I Am, the Creator of the
universe, and the redeemer of mankind (De. 6:4; Ex. 3:14). He has further
revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Is. 48:16; Mt. 28:19; Lu. 3:22).
The Scriptures of both Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired of God
and are infallible and authoritative (2 Ti. 3:15-17; 1 Th. 2:13; 1 Pe. 1:21).
the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God sharing in the divinity and deity
of God (Mt. 1:23; Jn. 5:22-23; 2 Jn. 3; He. 1:1-3).
Man was created without sin but fell through disobedience, necessitating a
Savior, which was provided in Christ (Ro. 5:12-21).
The Church is the Body of Christ, formed of all believers who are born of the
Spirit (Ep. 1:22-23, 2:22).
the ordinances of the church include baptism in water (Mt. 28:19) and the
Lord’s Supper or Holy Communion (1 Co. 11:26).
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is provided for all believers and is
distinct from and subsequent to the experience of new birth (Lu. 11:9-13;
Ac. 1:8, 2:4).
Divine healing is provided for all believers and is an integral part of the Gospel
(Mt. 8:16-17).
the Second Advent of Christ will visibly take place on earth, after which Christ
will reign on earth with His church (Mt. 24:27, 30; Re. 1:7, 19:11-14, 20:1-6).
