The one, true and living God exists eternally in three divine Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are one in substance, power, and in eternity.

(Gen 1:26; Ex 3:2-6; Deut 6:4; Ps 2; John 1:1-18, 10:30; Rom 9:5; Col 2:9)

The Triune God is sovereign in creation, revelation, redemption, and the final judgment.

(Gen 1:1; Ps 135:5-7; Dan 4:34-35; Eph 1:11)

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God incarnate, fully God and fully man, one divine person with two natures. He was conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit, lived a real and sinless life, was crucified, died and was buried, rose to life, ascended into heaven, is currently ruling, and will one day return.

(Matt 1:21-23; 25:31-46; Luke 24:1-47; John 1:1; 19:17-19,28-37; Acts 1:9-11; Col 3:1; 1 Thess 4:14-17; 1 Tim 2:5; Heb 4:14-16)

God the Holy Spirit is necessary to make the work of Christ effective to individual sinners, bringing them to new life and granting them repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ.

(John 3:1-11; Acts 1:1-8; Eph 2:8-9)

The Holy Spirit indwells all those thus regenerated, producing in them an increasing likeness to Christ in character and behaviour, and empowering them for their witness in the world.

(Acts 1:6-8; Rom 8:29; Gal 4:4-7)

Sanctification, which is the process of being transformed into holiness, is a cooperative work between the Holy Spirit and the believer.

(Heb 10:14)

The Bible, 39 books of Old Testament and 27 books of New Testament, is God's Word written, and therefore entirely true and trustworthy, powerful, and sufficient to accomplish all God's purposes. It is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice.

(Ps 19:7-11; Is 55:11; 2 Tim 3:15-17; 2 Pet 1:19-21)

The Gospel is the message of salvation found only through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, who is the mediator between God and humanity. Salvation is offered to those who trust in Him.

(John 14:6; Eph 1:7-8; 1 Tim 2:5; Heb 7:26-28)

Jesus Christ redeemed believers from the penalty, power, and presence of sin.

(John 14:6; Eph 1:7-8; 1 Tim 2:5)

Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and humanity. He redeemed those who trust in him from the penalty, power, and ultimately, the presence of sin. Salvation is found only through the once and for all time sacrificial death of Jesus Christ our representative and substitute.

Justification is God's act of undeserved mercy, in which sinners are pardoned all their sins, and accepted as righteous in God's sight, only because of the righteousness of Christ imputed to them. Justification is received by faith alone.

(Rom 3:21-30; Gal 2:16-20)

The church universal is the body of Christ, to which all true believers belong.

(1 Cor 12:13; Eph 2:11-19)

The local assembly or congregation to which Christ commands all believers join is for mutual edification and the performance of the public service that he requires of them in the world.

(Matt 18:15-20; Acts 14:21-23; 1 Tim 3:14-16)

The risen Christ gave a commission to his people go into the entire world preaching the good news of Jesus Christ to all nations.

Satan exists as a personal spiritual adversary whose intentions are evil and in opposition to God’s purposes.

(Matt 4:1-11; 1 Pet 5:8; 2 Cor 11:14)

Marriage is the union of a natural man and natural woman voluntarily entered into for life. Marriage signifies the relationship between Jesus Christ and his people.

The New Testament commands the practice of baptism. We practice baptism by full immersion in water of those who profess repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ and signifies the washing away of sin and union with Christ.

(Matt 28:18-20; Acts 22:16; Rom 6:1-6)

The Lord Jesus commands the practice of the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial to Jesus’ death, a time of communion with him, a proclamation of the meaning of his death and a sign of anticipation of his return.

Everyone will be physically raised to life on the last day.

(Matt 16:27; John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thess 4:15; 2 Tim 4:1; 1 Cor 15; Rev 20:4-6, 11-15)
