31. We believe that the Scripture, as
originally written, were God-breathed,
both verbally and in every part.
It is infallible, inerrant and the final
authority of our faith and practice.
32. We believe in one God, existing
eternally in three distinct persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, co-equal
and coeternal. Neither blending their
persons nor dividing their essence.
33. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ,
God's Son, was conceived by the Holy
Spirit and born of a virgin, truly God
and truly Man. By His perfect life,
substitutionary death and glorious
resurrection, He secured our eternal
salvation.
34. He is now seated at the right hand of
the Father, interceding for His church,
and is coming again to bring His
people to glory and usher them to His
eternal kingdom.
35. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a
divine Person, equal with the Father
and the Son and of the same nature.
He indwells believers, bears witness
to the truth, convicts of sin, and is the
earnest of our salvation.
36. We believe man was created by a
direct act of God and not from a
previously existing form of life. By
voluntary transgression he fell from
his state of innocence; Consequently,
all men are now sinners by nature and
by choice.
37. We believe salvation of sinners is
divinely initiated, wholly of grace,
accomplished only through the
mediatorial work of the Son of God
and eternally secure. It is not of works
or religion.
38. We believe in the local church and the
universal church which is the body of
Jesus Christ and the physical
manifestation of His kingdom until He
comes again.
39. We believe water baptism is the single
immersion of a believer in water in the
name of the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, to show his identification with
Christ in His death, burial and
resurrection. It can do nothing for His
salvation.
40. We believe that the Lord’s Supper is
the commemoration of His death until
He comes.
41. We believe in the bodily resurrection
of the just and the unjust. Believers by
faith in Christ will spend eternity in the
presence of God, unbelievers in
everlasting punishment.
42. We believe that every believer should
be separated to God and from
worldliness and by the aid of the Holy
Spirit should walk in Christian love
and holiness
43. We believe that Jesus Christ
commands His church to make
disciples to every nation.
44. We believe that the greatest thing man
can do for himself is to love God
above all, and the greatest thing he
can do to others is to show them how
to love God above all.
