> in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary death on the cross for us and in our stead, was buried, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended to the right hand of the Father, from where He will return to earth to judge the living and the dead;

 

> in God the Holy Spirit, sent by God the Father and God the Son to work among mankind in our time, bringing conviction of sin, and that He indwells all believers, enabling them to live a godly life, to obey God's Word, and to witness to the world  of the saving grace of God;

 

> that the Bible, as originally given, is the inspired, inerrant, and entirely trustworthy Word of God to man, and is, therefore, the complete and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

 

> that all mankind has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and, therefore, deserves the punishment of a just God, and that because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation;

 

> that evey one who turns to Christ in repentance and faith is justified from his sins by the grace of God, and has eternal life;

 

> in the one holy universal Church which is the Body of Christ to which all true believers belong, and;

 

> that in the end, the bodies of all men will be raised from the dead, the believers to life everlasting and the unbelievers to eternal damnation.
