Scripture is the supreme and trustworthy record of God’s divine self-disclosure. All the books of the Old and New Testaments, given by divine inspiration, are the written word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and life. They are to be interpreted according to their context and purpose and in reverent obedience to the Lord who speaks through them in living power.

Exodus 24:4; Deuteronomy 4:1-2; 17:19; Psalms 12:6; 19:7-10; 119:11,89,105; Proverbs 30:5; Isaiah 34:16; 40:8; Luke 21:33; 24:44-46; John 5:39; 17:17; Romans 15:4; 16:25-26; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:20-25; 2 Peter 1:19-21.

There is but one God, infinite in power, wisdom, justice, goodness and love, the Creator of the universe, eternally existing in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit each of whom possesses all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.

Genesis 1:1; Psalm 90:2, 145:7, 147:5; Jeremiah 9:24, 10:12; Matthew 28:19; Romans 8:26-27; 1 Corinthians 2:10, 12:11; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Peter 1:2.

God the Father, by His own choice and out of love for sinful men and women, sent Jesus Christ into the world to reconcile sinners to Himself. Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He is God in the flesh, both true God and true man. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and voluntarily suffered and died as our substitute to pay the penalty for our sins, thus satisfying God’s justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone. He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died. He bodily ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between God and man, makes intercession for His own. He will return to earth personally, visibly and bodily to judge all men and establish His kingdom

Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5, 14-18; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 1:3-4, 3:21-26, 5:18-19, 8:31-34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 2:9-10, 14-18; Revelation 19:11-16.

God created man in His own image, and man, as he was originally created, was innocent before God. But man chose to sin by disobeying God, and therefore was alienated from his Creator and came under divine condemnation. Thus, all human beings are corrupt and without spiritual life, and are totally incapable of pleasing God in and of themselves.

Genesis 1:26-30; 2:5,7,18-22; 3; 9:6; Psalms 8:3-6; 32:1-5; 51:5; Isaiah 53:6; 59:1-2; Acts 17:26-31; Romans 1:19-32; 3:9-19; 5:6,12,19; Ephesians 2:1-22; Colossians 1:21-22.

Men and women are freed from the penalty for their sins not as a result, in whole or in part, of their own works, goodness or religious ceremony, but by the undeserved favor of God alone. God declares righteous all who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation.

 John 1:12, 3:16-17, 14:6; Romans 5:1-2, 10:9, 6:22-23; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5.

The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ, to convict men and women of their sins, and to impart new life to all who place their faith in Christ. He indwells believers from the moment of spiritual birth, is the seal of their salvation, allots spiritual gifts to them for ministry, and empowers them to live a life pleasing to God. 

 John 14:16-17, 16:7-15; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 1:13-14, 5:18; Titus 3:4-7.

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. The Bible lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of Biblical parameters and the fruits of the Spirit.

Romans 1:11; 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; 14:1-40; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 4:7-16; 2 Timothy 1:5-16; Hebrews 2:4;  1 Peter 4:10.

According to His promise, Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth to establish his eternal kingdom. At this time, the dead will be raised; and Christ will judge all men and women. Those who have put their faith in the Lord will have a blessed, eternal life with him. Those who have rejected the Lord will have eternal suffering and separation from the Lord. The time when Jesus will return is not disclosed in the Scriptures. God will create a new heaven and new earth in which believers will live in perfect unity with the Lord.  

Matthew 24:30; 25:41-46; 26:63-64; Luke 16:22-28; John 3:16; 5:28-29; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 6:23, 8:17-18; 1 Corinthians 2:7-9; 15:20-23; 2 Corinthians 5:6-8; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Hebrews 9:27; 10:37; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 1:7; 14:9-11; 20:4; 20:15; 21:1.

Jesus Christ has instructed those who believe in Him to be baptized with water as a symbol of their new birth in Christ. Baptism symbolizes the believer’s faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savor, the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. Baptism is a testimony to his or her faith in the final resurrection of the dead.  The Lord also instituted the Lord’s Supper as a remembrance of His suffering, death and resurrection. Neither baptism nor the Lord’s Supper have any merit in helping a person obtain eternal life.

Matthew 3:13-17; 26:26-30; 28:19-20; Mark 1:9-11; 14:22-26; Luke 3:21-22; 22:19-20; John 3:23; Acts 2:41-42; 8:35-39; 16:30-33; 20:7; Romans 6:3-5; 1 Corinthians 10:16,21; 11:23-29; Colossians 2:12.

All true believers make up the church worldwide and should assemble together in local churches for worship, prayer, fellowship and teaching to become conformed to the image of Christ and to become equipped to carry out the “Great Commission” that Christ gave His followers.

Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:42-47; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 2:11-19, 4:11-16.
