One God

There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), who is infinitely perfect (Matthew 5:48), existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man (Philippians 2:6–11). He was born of the virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:34–38). He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust (1 Peter 3:18), as a substitutionary sacrifice (Hebrews 2:9), and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood (Romans 5:9). He arose from the dead, according to the Scriptures (Acts 2:23–24). He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest (Hebrews 8:1). He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness, and peace (Matthew 26:64)

The divinity of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a divine person (John 14:15–18), sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer (John 16:13; Acts 1:8), and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and judgment (John 16:7–11).

Authority of the Scriptures

The Old and New Testaments are complete revelations of God's will for the salvation of men and are inerrant as originally given. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice (2 Peter 1:20–21; 2 Timothy 3:15–16).

Original Sin and Salvation

The man was created in God's image and likeness (Genesis 1:27); he fell through disobedience, incurring physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature (Romans 3:23), are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:20–23). The unrepentant and unbelieving portion is existence forever in conscious torment (Revelation 21:8), and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss (Revelation 21:1–4).

Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men, and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God (Titus 3:1–7).

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly (1 Thessalonians 5:23), being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service (Acts 1:8). This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the believer's life after conversion (Romans 6:1–14).

Healing Power

Provision is made in the Lord Jesus Christ's redemptive work for the healing of the mortal body (Matthew 8:16–17). Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age (James 5:13–16).

The Church Body

The Church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Church, which He has given the authority to travel throughout the world as a witness and preach the gospel to all peoples (Ephesians 1:22-23). The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:41–47).

The Resurrection and Second Coming

There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life (1 Corinthians 15:20–23); for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment (John 5:28–29).

The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent (Hebrews 10:37) and will be personal, visible, and premillennial (Luke 21:27). This is the believer’s blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service (Titus 2:11–14).

Ordinances

Water Baptism

All established places of worship shall administer the ordinance of water baptism (Matt. 28:19) to all those who have repented of their sins and who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ to the saving of their souls (Rom. 6:3-5; Col. 2:12).

The Lord’s Supper

According to the Scriptures (Luke 22:19, 20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26), all recognized places of worship must regularly observe the Lord's Supper's ordinance.

Foot Washing

The ordinance shall be observed as seen fit by all established places of worship, as enjoined in the Scriptures (John 13:1-17; Luke 7:36-50).
