THE
SCRIPTURES
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of
God.
THE GODHEAD
Our God is one, but manifested in
three persons - the Father, The Son, and the
Holy Spirit, being coequal
(Phil. 2:6). God the Father is greater than
all; the sender of the Word (Logos) and the
Begetter
(John 14:28, John 16:28, John 1:14). The Son
is the Word made flesh, the One Begotten, and
has existed with the Father from the beginning
(John 1:1, John 1:18, John 1:14). The Holy
Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and
the Son and is eternal
(John 15:26).
CHRIST
Jesus is the Christ, conceived by the
Holy Spirit and virgin born, the Son of God, the
one and only Savior, the Lord of all.
ATONEMENT
Christ sacrificially died on the
Cross and shed His blood as the atonement for
sin.
ASCENSION
God raised Him from the dead body. He
ascended into Heaven, and he will visibly return
in glory according to His promise.
SALVATION
Salvation is God's gift of eternal
life, presented to all who, by faith, accept
Jesus Christ as Savior and receive spiritual new
birth by the Holy Spirit.
ABUNDANCE
Abundant Christian Life is possible
only for those who continually yield their lives
to the power and control of the indwelling Holy
Spirit.
THE GREAT
COMMISSION
Jesus issued Christians a "Great
Commission": to spread the Good News of His
salvation to all peoples and every nation. To
fulfill this commission, Christians must not
only proclaim the love of God, but demonstrate
it through deeds of compassion, such as feeding
the poor and hungry, providing for orphans and
the homeless, and assisting the sick and
distressed as God directs. |
