The Bible is the dependable and authoritative Word of God. |
| - God the Father is the almighty Creator
and loving Provider, eternal King and Judge of the universe. |
| -
Jesus Christ, the preexistent Son of
God, is the Savior, Lord, and eternal Redeemer of all who truly believe.
|
| -
The Holy Spirit is the presence
of God in believers - convicting, converting, teaching truth, prompting
obedience, bearing fruit, distributing gifts, and empowering witness. |
| -
Salvation is the forgiveness of sins
and the gift of eternal life. It originates in God's grace, is achieved
by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and is personally received
by faith. |
| -
Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances
for the church that confirm faith in Him: baptism
by immersion and the Lord's Supper,
accompanied by foot-washing. |
| -
Jesus Christ shall return from heaven
at the end of this age. The dead shall be raised from their sleep in the
grave, and all humans shall be judged according to their works. The righteous
shall be changed to immortality to live forever with the Lord; the wicked
shall be completely consumed in the lake of fire. There shall be a
new heaven and a new earth as the home of the redeemed for
all eternity. |
| -
The Sabbath is a memorial of creation, and it was observed by Jesus and the apostles.
It is kept from Friday sunset until Saturday sunset. Sabbath rest mirrors both Creation and redemption, and will be celebrated until God's people
rest forever with Him. |
