The Bible
The Bible is the inerrant, authoritative Word of God, rightly understood in a normal, literal way.
God
There is one God who exists eternally in three persons--Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is God the Son and His death on the cross was the full and only acceptable payment for the sins of all men.
Salvation
Salvation is God's gift, based upon Jesus Christ's finished work and received only through personal faith in Him alone, and not through doing good deeds.
Faith
Saving faith leads to a changed life. New priorities, a love for God's Word, a desire to pray and readiness to serve among God's people are some of the evidences of the new birth.
Security
All those who have trusted Christ are kept by God's power and are secure in Him forever.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit permanently lives in all believers and enables them to live the Christian life as they yield to Him in harmony with God's Word.
Christ's return
Jesus Christ will return literally for believers and later establish His literal 1,000-year reign on the earth.
Resurrection
All men will be resurrected bodily, either to eternal life or to eternal separation from God.
