In the verbal inspiration of the Bible. |
|
| In one God, eternally existing in three persons: namely, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. | |
| That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary; that Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead; that He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. | |
| That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and that repentance is commanded of God for all and is necessary for forgiveness of sins. | |
| That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. | |
| In sanctification subsequent to the birth, through faith in the blood of Christ, through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. | |
| Holiness is God’s standard of living for His people. | |
| In the baptism of the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. | |
| In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and that it is evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. | |
| In water baptism by immersion, and that all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. | |
| Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement. | |
| In the Lord’s Supper. | |
| In the pre-millennial second coming of Jesus: first to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air; second, to reign on the earth one thousand years. | |
| In the bodily resurrection, eternal life to the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked. |
