The Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God.
There is one Triune God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit-who are co-equal and have the same attributes.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary to reveal God and redeem sinful men.
Jesus was our substitutionary sacrifice on the cross and our justification is made sure by His physical resurrection from the dead.
The Holy Spirit is our Divine Teacher, convicting us of sin and acting as the Supernatural Agent in regeneration.
Man, created in the image of God, fell and inherits a sin nature from Adam and is thereby alienated from God and unable to save himself.
Salvation is a free gift from God brought to us by grace and accepted by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
All the redeemed, once saved, are secure in Christ forever.
God has bestowed all spiritual gifts (evangelists, pastors, teachers) necessary for the perfection of the saints today. Speaking in tongues and sign miracles gradually ceased as the New Testament's authority was established.
The local church should be free of any external authority or control.
A natural, literal interpretation of Scripture shows divinely determined dispensations (rules of life) which define man's responsibilities in successive ages.
Satan, the author of sin, is a person and the cause of man's fall. He will be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.
Our "blessed hope" is in the personal, imminent, pretribulation and premillennial coming of Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones and His subsequent return to earth to establish His Millennial Kingdom.
