eternally existing in three
persons: namely, the Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost.
3. That Jesus Christ is
the only begotten Son of the
Father, conceived of the Holy
Ghost, and born of the virgin
Mary. That Jesus was
crucified, buried, and raised
from the dead; that He
ascended to heaven and is
today at the right hand of
the Father as the
intercessor.
4. That all have sinned
and come short of the glory
of God, and that repentance
is commanded of God for all
and necessary for forgiveness
of sins.

regeneration, and the new
birth are wrought by faith in

as a definite, yet
progressive work of grace.
7. Holiness to be God's
standard of living for His
people.

the Holy Ghost.
9. In the present day
operation of the nine
supernatural gifts of the
Holy Spirit and the ministry
of gifts of Christ..

Ghost.

provided for all in the

one meaning: the uniting of
one man and one woman in a
single, exclusive union.
15. Any form of sexual

be afforded compassion, love,
kindess, respect and dignity.

toward any individual are
repudiated and not in accord
with Scripture.
18. The church is the
body of Christ, the
habitation of God through the
Spirit, with divine
appointments for the
fulfillment of its great
commission. It is not Jewish
or part of national Israel,
but grafted in as spiritual
children of God.
19. In the
pre-tribulation coming of
Jesus Christ: 1. To resurrect
the righteous dead, and to
catch away the living saints
to him in the air. 2. The
pre-millennial second coming
of Jesus Christ. 3. Christ to
reign on the earth a thousand
years.
20. In the bodily
resurrection; eternal life
for the righteous and eternal
punishment for the wicked.
