1. God is an eternal Spirit who created all things in the spiritual and physical worlds. (Genesis 1:1, Psalm 90:2, John 1:1-3, John 4:24 Romans 1:19-20)

2. God is three equal, but distinct, persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - and these three are one God. They have the same nature (Deuteronomy 6:4, I Corinthians 8:4-6, Matthew 28:19, John 1:1-3, 6:27, Acts 5:3-4)

3. God is unchanging, but the methods by which He administers the world may change. He is perfect and complete, in knowledge, in holiness, in righteousness, in love, in power, in wisdom, in authority, (Hebrews 13:8, Malachi 3:6, Psalm 19:9, 139:1-8, I Peter 1:15-16, Colossians 1:16-17, I John 4:8, I Timothy 1:17, I Corinthians 1:25)

1. The words of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God and are without error. Men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit to record precisely the words that God intended. The Bible, therefore, is the final authority in all matters about which it speaks. The Bible is to be interpreted in a normal and literal way. This means that history, grammar, and context are the guidelines for proper interpretation. God's revelation ceased with the completion of the sixty-six books of the Bible. (II Timothy 3:16-17, II Peter 1:21)

1. Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He is both fully God and fully man. He came into the world to manifest God to men, fulfill Old Testament prophecy, and become the Savior of a lost world. While He was fully human, He had a sinless human nature and lived a perfect life. (Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-36, John 1:1-14, Heb 1,)

2. In infinite love He became the divinely provided sacrificial Lamb to take away the sin of the world. By his death on the cross He bore the judgments which a holy God must impose. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and intercedes for the saints before the Father. (John 10:10-18)

1. Every person who has lived, with the exception of Jesus Christ, is in need of personal redemption because of his violation of God's will and inability to achieve God's perfect standards. (Romans 3:9-26, Ephesians 2:1-6) As Isaiah said in a time long ago , " We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;" (Isaiah 64:5)

2. Christ died as a full and sufficient payment for the sins of the entire world, and as a substitute for all men. Christ's shed blood is the only provision by which an individual may be delivered from the wrath of God.
(Hebrews 10:1-18, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, Romans 3:24, II Corinthians 5:17-21)

3. One must have faith in God before he can be saved. (Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please God for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.) Faith comes by hearing God’s Word. (Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.) For this reason we must study God’s word in order to build our faith and become a workman that has no reason to be ashamed. (2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.)

4. As we study God’s word, we become aware of our own sins. We must then repent (be sorry for our sins and turn away from our sins. We can not continue to live in sin and be pleasing to God. (Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Ac 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.)

5. After we have turned from sin, we must turn to Christ. This requires a formal declaration of our faith Him as the Son of God and our Savior. Rom 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

6. After we have faith in God and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and have turned from our sins; and have acknowledged that Jesus Christ is Lord, we are baptized. Baptism is a re-enactmen or a figure of the death, burial and ressurection of Christ. Rom 6:2-6 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Baptism is necessary for our salvation .1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Baptism should not be delayed because it washes away our sins. Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

7. God' wants his children to live their lives in a manner consistant with their belief. They should avoid sin in its many forms and remember to thank God for the good things that He has provided them. (Colossians 2:6-As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 2 Cor 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. I John 3:2-3)

8.Every Christian will stand for evaluation at the judgment seat of Christ to determine eternal rewards based on faithfulness in obedience to God subsequent to salvation. II Corinthians 5:9-10) Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:9-10 AV)

1. The Lord adds to the Church those who are saved. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. (Acts 2:46-47 )

1. All Christians, living and dead, will meet the Lord in the air at his return and will forever be with Him. (I Thessalonians 4:16-17)

2. All unbelievers and fallen angels will be judged and condemned to hell forever. All believers will enter into the presence of God in the eternal kingdom of the new heaven and the new earth. (Revelation 20:10 - 21:5)

4. We must work out our own salvation. Phillipians 2:12¶ Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
