There is a God |
 |
He is the only true and
living God |
 |
Jesus Christ is
His Son, His
only begotten Son |
 |
He is spirit eternal, and is
all powerful, all knowing and all present |
 |
He is the creator of all
things, thus all things belong to Him |
 |
Jesus Christ is God
in nature and being, and one with the Father |
 |
God reveals Himself also
through the Holy Spirit who, as the Father and Son, is God in every way both
personally and spiritually |
 |
They are one in person (not
simply purpose), distinguishable yet inseparable, individually unique yet
perfectly unified whether we comprehend it
or not |
 |
Man is the creation of God and
belongs to God |
 |
Man is created in God's
spiritual image |
 |
Man became spiritually
separated from God by willful disobedience and sentenced to punishment of death |
 |
God, because of His eternal
love and mercy for man, sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for man
|
 |
Jesus Christ died on the cross
at Calvary for man's redemption and three days later rose from the dead for
man's justification |
 |
Jesus Christ lived a sinless,
flawless, perfect life among men, serving them with humility and love by
preaching the kingdom of God, feeding the hungry, healing the sick, curing the
lame and setting people bound by the devil free |
 |
He is with the Father now
awaiting an appointed time known only by the Father, in which all people both
dead and alive shall be judged |
 |
The righteous to eternal life
with God, the wicked to eternal torment and damnation separated from God |
 |
Righteousness which results in
salvation from death is obtained only through faith in the redemptive death of
Jesus Christ |
 |
Faith in Jesus Christ gives
spiritual new birth and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to all believe |
 |
The Holy Spirit is the
comforter and teacher of all who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, and
is the guarantee of God's promise that all who believe will live |
 |
Our faith and principles are
derived and based upon the Bible which is God's direct communication to man
concerning His will and purpose for us |
 |
It is a finished book needing
no further addendum or continuation and is completely sufficient for instruction
and direction in matters of righteousness, holiness, godliness and salvation |
 |
All believers are part of the
Body of Jesus Christ known as the Church. The church local and worldwide
is the center for the worship and learning of God and His Son Jesus Christ, the
center for the ministering of Christians to one another, and is given the
primary task of making disciples out of all nations and making the love of God
in Christ Jesus known to all tribes and tongues |
