God (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

in three persons, God the father, the Son, the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2

In the deity of our Lord Jesus
Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his miracles, in his
vicarious and atoning death, in his bodily resurrection in his ascension to the
right hand of the Father, in his personal future return to this earth in power
and glory to rule his millennium Kingdom.
In the blessed hope - the rapture of
the church at Christ's coming (1 Thessalonians 4:17); in the resurrection of
both the saved and the lost; the one to everlasting life and the other to
everlasting damnation (Daniel 12:2; John 11:25-26; Revelation
21:7,8).
The only means of being cleansed from
sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ
(Ephesians 1:7).

1:23).

Spirit by whose indwelling the Chrisitan is enabled to live a holy life
(Galatians 5:16).

according to Acts 2:4 is given to believers who ask (Luke 11:13).
In the present day reality of the
supernatural operation of the gifts of the spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8-10;
Hebrews 2:3-4).
The redemptive work of Christ on the
cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer (Isaiah
53:4-5; Matthew 8:17).
In observance of the ordinances of
Christian baptism by immersion for believers and the Lord's Supper (Matthew
28:19; Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
