…in one God, revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Duet. 6:4,
II Cor. 13:14,
John 1:1)
…that our Lord Jesus Christ was the only begotten of the Father, and is truly God and truly man. He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died a vicarious and atoning death for the sins of the world, resurected bodily for our justification, and now reigns in glory until all things be put under his feet (
I Tim 3:16)
…in the absolute inspiration of the Holy Scriptures in their original autographs given by the Holy Spirit as He moved upon holy men of old. Furthermore, I believe that the Holy Bible accepted as Canon by the early Christian Church to be the only written Word of God. (

…that man was made in the image of God and is by the reason of "the fall" alienated from his creator. Apart from God's grace he has no ability to attain relationship with God. (

Acts 1:8, 2:1-4, 19:1-2)
…in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit active in the church today. (
