Basic Beliefs
I. The Scriptures
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is
God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine
instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth,
without any mixture of error, for its matter.
II. God
There is one and only one living and true God. …The eternal God
reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct
personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
A. God the Father
God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His
creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the
purposes of His grace. …God is Father in truth to those who become
children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
B. God the Son
Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ, He
was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. …He honored
the divine law by His personal obedience, and in His death on the cross,
He made provision for the redemption of men from sin.
C. God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. …He exalts Christ. He
convicts of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. …He enlightens and
empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.
III. Man
Man was created by the special act of God, in His own image,
and is the crowning work of His creation. …By his free choice man sinned
against God and brought sin into the human race. … The sacredness of human
personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in
that Christ died for man; therefore every man possesses dignity and is
worthy of respect and Christian love.
IV. Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is
offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by
His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its
broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, sanctification, and
glorification.
V. God's Purpose of Grace
Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He
regenerates, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. …All true believers endure
to the end. Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by His
Spirit will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere
to the end.
VI. The Church
A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body
of baptized believers who are associated by covenant in the faith and
fellowship of the gospel…and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of
the earth. …This church is an autonomous body. …The New Testament speaks
also of the church as the body of Christ, which includes all of the
redeemed of all the ages.
VII. Baptism & the Lord's Supper
Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. …It
is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified,
buried, and risen Savior, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the
life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members …
memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming.
