1. There is one God (1), who is infinitely perfect (2), existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (3).

 

2. Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man (4). He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (5). He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust (6), as a substitutionary sacrifice (7), and all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood (8). He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures (9). He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest (10). He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness, and peace (11).

 

3. The Holy Spirit is a divine person (12), sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer (13), and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement (14).

 

4. The Old and New Testements, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian fatih and practice (15).

 

5. Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God (16): he fell through disobedience, incurring both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature (17), are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ (18). The portion of the unrepentant and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment (19), and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss (20).

 

6. 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 enternal life, and become children of God (21).

 

7. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly (22), being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving the power for holy living and effective service (23). This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion (24).

 

8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body (25). Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are tought in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age (26).

 

9. The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church (27) which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations (28). 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 (29).

 

10.  There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and unjust; for the former, a resurection unto life (30); for the latter, a resurection unto judgement (31).

 

11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent (32) and will be personal, visable, and premillennial (33). This is the believer’s blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service (34).
