Statement:

A. That the Scriptures of the Old and the New Testaments are verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
B. That there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
C. That Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
D. That man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also the spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed.
E. That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary Sacrifice, and that all that believe in and receive Him as their Savior are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
F. The resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present life there for us, as High Priest and Advocate.
G. "That blessed hope", the personal premillenial, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
H. That all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become the children of God.
I. The bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting punishment of the lost.
J. In baptism by immersion as compatible with the scriptures and as a beautiful public testimony to our death, burial, and resurrection with Christ.
K. The ordinance of the Lord's Supper should be open to participation by all born-again believers regardless of their church affiliation, insisting only that "a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and so let him drink of that cup."
