Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Peter 1:2

2. -- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His eternal existence as God’s only

begotten Son, in His virgin birth, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death

through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of

the Father, and in His personal, imminent return in power and glory. Isaiah 7:14; John

14:11; Romans 8:34; Philippians 2:5-11; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; Titus 2:13;

Revelation 19:11-16

fullness the Christian is guided, instructed, and empowered to serve and live a godly life

in the present evil world. John 16:7-8; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13-14

the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God written. Matthew 5:18;

5. -- We believe that God created the heavens and the earth in six days and that man was

created in the image and likeness of God, but in Adam’s sin the race fell, inherited a

condition. Genesis 1:1, 26; Exodus 20:11; Psalm 51:5; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12; Ephesians

2:13

6. -- We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provides the only

ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, that it is a free gift of God

provided by grace, and such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and begin

a personal relationship with God through Christ Jesus. John 1:12-13; Romans 8:34; 1

Corinthians 15:3-4; Ephesians 2:3-9
