1. In one God who exists in three, co-equal, yet distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit—the “Trinity.” (Mt 28:19; Eph 4:4-6; 1Pe 1:2; Jn 1:14; 10:30)
The Bible is inerrant and infallible; complete, sufficient and final. It is the authoritative rule for all matters of faith and practice. (Deut 4:2; Pro 30:5; Ps 12:6; Rev 22:18-19)
God created everything out of nothing. Every human is created in God’s image. (Gen 1:1, 26; Ps 33:6-9; Jn 1:3; Col 1:16-17; Ja 3:9)
The rebellion (original sin) of Adam and Eve separated us from God and caused us to need a Savior. (Gen 3:1-19; Ps 14:2-3; Isa 59:2; Ro 3:23; 5:12; Eph 2:1-3)
Jesus was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life. He was fully man and fully God. (Mt 1:23; Heb 4:15; 1Pe 2:21-22; 1Jn 3:5)
The Holy Spirit encourages, guides, comforts, gifts and transforms us into more like Jesus. Everyone who receives Christ will receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who acts our helper and is an advocate on our behalf. His main role is to glorify Jesus. (Jn 14:26; 16:12-14; Ro 8:26-27)
Mankind is without hope apart from Jesus, whose death, burial and resurrection, opened the way of salvation for all persons. Under the sovereign plan of God the Father (Acts 2:23; 4:24-28; 2Co 5:21), Jesus was crucified on a cross (John 1:29) as an atoning sacrifice for our sin and buried in a tomb (Isa 53:10; Mt 27:59-60; 1Pe 3:18).
Three days later, Jesus rose bodily from the tomb—resurrected! (Lk 24:1-12; 1Co 15:3-8) 40 days later He ascended into heaven where He reigns and rules at God’s right hand (Mk 16:19) and is alive today. (Job 19:25; 1Pe 1:3; Rev 4:9)
We are redeemed and saved by God’s grace alone through faith alone by Christ alone; not by works or anything we could do. The Bible clearly presents the pattern to become a Christ-follower: 1) believe in Jesus Christ as God’s Divine Son, 2) repent of personal sin, and 3) verbally confess Christ as Savior and Lord of all. Then, our first step of obedience to Jesus’ command and example is to be immersed in baptism. (Jn 3:16-17; 14:6; Ro 6:4-5; Eph 2:8-9; 1Jn 1:9)
Jesus has freed us from the penalty, the power and someday the presence of sin. (Gal 3:13; 5:1; Ro 6:6, 14, 18) United with Christ, we are new creations, condemned no more and dead to sin. (2Co 5:17; Ro 6:11; 8:1-2)
Jesus desires an intimate relationship with me. (Jn 15; Acts 17:27; 1Jn 4:10)
Jesus has given individuals and the church our primary purpose and mission—to make disciples who make disciples who make disciples. (2Co 5:18-20; Mt 28:18-20).
God has not stopped giving spiritual gifts. Jesus has gifted people with APEST gifting (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, Teacher) to the church to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body. The Holy Spirit has given spiritual gifts for the common good as we serve each other. (Eph 4:11-12; Ro 12:6-8; 1Co 12:4-11, 28-30; 13:1; 14:1; 1Pe 4:10-11)
The Church is the body and bride of Christ with Jesus as the Head. The Church was founded on the day of Pentecost and consists of all born-again Christians everywhere. (Acts 2; Ro 12:5; Eph 3:6; 5:23; Col 1:18, 24)
At a time only the Father knows, Jesus is coming back to judge both believers and non-believers. Death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will enjoy eternal life with God; the unsaved will suffer eternal separation from God in Hell. (1Co 6:14; 2Co 5:10; 2Ti 4:1,8; Heb 4:13; 9:27; Ja 2:26; Rev 19:11-16; 20:11-15)
