The Bible is:
- uniquely God-inspired.
- without error.
- the final authority on all matters on which it speaks.
God is:
- one God.
- eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - each possessing all the attributes of deity.
Salvation Plan:
- God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God’s grace - not human effort - and must be received personally by repentance and faith.
Jesus Christ:
- is the second Person of the Trinity.
- lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute, accomplishing salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone.
- rose from the dead and is the only mediator between us and God.
- baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit.
- will return to earth to fulfill God's plan.
The Holy Spirit:
- draws sinners to Christ and equips believers for personal growth and service to the church.
The Church’s role:
- is to glorify God and serve those in need.
- at the end, is to experience bodily resurrection.
- is that only believers will enjoy eternal fellowship with God.
