BIBLE . . . The inspired and inerrant Word of God - authoritative and reliable in all matters - the only infallible rule for faith and practice. GOD . . . There is only one God - eternally existent in three persons who are equal in power and glory.
JESUS CHRIST . . . He is truly God and man. Born of a virgin, He lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary death, arose bodily from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will return in power and glory.
MAN . . . was made in God's image in a special act of creation. Because of Adam's disobedience, all men have a corrupt nature, are guilty before God and stand under His wrath and curse.
SALVATION . . . The only means of salvation is Jesus christ; it is not by works of men. Those who embrace Jesus Christ by faith are justified. Man is regenerated only by the work of God's Spirit.
HOLY SPIRIT . . . He has been given to glorify Christ. He enlightens the mind, convicts the conscience, and renews the will of man.
CHURCH . . . is the object of God's redemptive work - is composed of all those who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ.
