The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are God-breathed, and the Holy Spirit directed men to write all of the Bible’s contents (Acts 1:16; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). The Scriptures, which include historical accounts, doctrine, and prophecy, were inspired by God and are without error in their original manuscripts. This conviction…

There exists only one true and living God, who exists eternally as three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although distinct, these three Persons share the exact divine nature, characteristics, and qualities, and thus deserve equal reverence, worship, and obedience (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-7; Matthew 28:18-19; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Hebrews 1:1-3).

God the Father is the first Person of the Trinity, possessing infinite perfection and being. He exhibits holiness, justice, righteousness, grace, patience, and mercy, and is abundant in goodness and truth (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Kings 8:23; Isaiah 6:3, 48:12; Jeremiah 10:10; Psalm 136:26; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; 1 John 4:8,16; 2 Peter 3:15). God the Father…

The Lord Jesus Christ is the second Person of the Trinity and has the eternal and co-equal nature of the Trinity. He is of the same substance and essence as the Father, and is the agent of creation (John 1:1-18, 10:30, 14:9; Colossians 1:16). Jesus the Son came down from Heaven to save sinners. He…

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity and possesses all the characteristics of personality and deity, including intellect (1 Corinthians 2:10-13), emotions (Ephesians 4:30), will (1 Corinthians 12:11), eternality (Hebrews 9:14), omni-presence (Psalm 139:7-10), omniscience (Isaiah 40:13-14), omnipotence (Romans 15:13), and truthfulness (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit takes up residence in every…

Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, morally upright and free from moral blemish or defect. However, they disobeyed God and lost their spiritual life because of their sin. Thus, everyone born after Adam inherited a corrupted nature except for Jesus Christ (Genesis 2:7, 3:12-13; Romans 3:10-19, 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:45, Hebrews…

The act of salvation is entirely the work of God, an expression of divine grace, grounded in the redemption made possible by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the merit of His shed blood. This salvation is not dependent on human merit or works, as is attested by Biblical passages (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-10;…

It is our responsibility that each of us be a disciple of Christ, to love one another, and to help one another grow into maturity in Christ. We believe that we are called to go and make disciples of all nations by sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation, bearing witness of Christ through life…

The Holy Spirit promptly integrates believers into a cohesive, single spiritual entity – the Church. The Church is recognized as the Bride of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:23-32; Revelation 19:7-8). Christ assumes the leadership and authority of this spiritual Body (Ephesians 1:22, 4:15; Colossians 1:18). The Church, also known as the Body of Christ,…

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the only two ordinances of the Church. These are scriptural means of testimony for the Church in this age. Christian baptism (Acts 8:36-39) is a solemn and beautiful testimony of a believer’s faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, and his or her union with Christ, in death…

Holy angels are beings created by God, and as such are not to be worshipped. While angels are of a higher order of creation than humans, their purpose is to serve and worship God (Luke 2:9-14; Hebrews 1:6-7,14; 2:6-7; Revelation 5:11-14, 19:10, 22:9). Satan is a fallen angel that God created, and is the author…

Physical death does not entail the loss of our non-material consciousness (Revelation 6:9-11). The soul of the redeemed enters directly into the presence of Christ after death (Luke 23:43; Philippians 1:23; 2 Corinthians 5:8) and there is a separation of soul and body (Philippians 1:21-24). For the redeemed, this separation will continue until the Rapture…
