 the
Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be verbally inspired of God,
inerrant in the original writings, and of supreme and final authority in
faith and life.
in
one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin
Mary, and that He is true God and true man.
that the Holy Spirit is the third member of
the Godhead, that His ministry is to convict the unsaved, to regenerate,
baptize, indwell, seal, and control those who are saved.
that man was created
in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred both spiritual and
physical death; that all human beings are born with a sinful nature; and that
those who reach moral responsibility become sinners in thought, word, and
deed.
that the Lord Jesus Christ
died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in
Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
in the resurrection
of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His
present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.
in "that blessed
hope," the personal, premillennial, and
imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the
Holy Spirit and that they become the children of God and joint heirs with
Jesus Christ.
in
the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness
of the saved, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.
in the eternal
security of all believers.
that the Christian has been crucified, buried,
and made alive, risen, and ascended with Christ, and that his proper attitude
is to turn to God from idols to serve the true God, and to wait for His Son
from Heaven.
that the sins of
believers have been judged; that the faithful service of believers will be
rewarded.
that the unrighteous
are now under the wrath of God and are awaiting death and judgment.
that the believer is
responsible to carry or to send the Gospel to the uttermost part of the
earth, by word of mouth, by financial support, and by effectual prayer.
that all believers
should be baptized, should join the visible church, and should observe the
Lord's Supper.
that the Holy Spirit has gifted all Christians
so that they might minister during the church age; that while the Spirit may
give any gift at any time, He gives them in conformity to the Scriptures;
that some gifts given, such as prophecy, apostleship, tongues, and miracles
were foundational and temporary in nature.
