Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 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, resurrected bodily for our justification, and now
reigns in glory until all things be put under his feet. (I Timothy 3:16)
...absolute inspiration of the Holy
Scriptures in their original autographs given by the Holy Spirit as He moved upon holy
men of old. . Furthermore, we believe that the Holy Bible, accepted as Canon by
the early Christian Church, to be the only written Word of God. (2 Peter 1:21)
...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. (Psalms 8;
Ephesians 2:89)

the cross in our place, as the supreme sacrifice for sin, was buried in a tomb,
but rose again the third day and reigns in glory interceding for us. (1 John
2:1)

in the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus in the waters of baptism. (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-5; Matthew 28:19)

the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues, as the Spirit of God gives
the utterance, is an endowment of power to the believer, for sanctification and
evangelism.
(Acts 1:8; 2:1-4; 19:1-2)
