The Scriptures

The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the verbal, plenary inspiration and authority of the Scriptures; that the King James Bible is the authentic Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21)


Godhead
One Triune God, eternally existing in three persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deuteronomy 6:4; I John 5:7).


The Person and Work of Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (John 1:1-2, 14; Isaiah 7:14; Philippians 2:5-8; Galatians 4:4-5).
That the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His finished work on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice; and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Romans 3:24-25; Ephesians 1:7; I Corinthians 15:14,17).
That the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Hebrews 9:24, 7:25; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1).

Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
That the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Holy Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, and that He regenerates, indwells, enlightens, and empowers the truly saved. (John 16:7, 8; I Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; Ephesians 1:13)


Salvation
That salvation is "by grace" plus nothing minus nothing. That men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19) That all the redeemed, once saved are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever. (Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Peter 1:4-5; Ecc. 3:14). 


The Ordinances of the Church
That there are two ordinances given to the Believer: that of baptism by immersion in water and the Lord's Supper as a Scriptural means of testimony and memorial of what Christ has done in our hearts as believers. (Matthew. 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-42; I Corinthians 11:23-26). 


The Return of Christ

That our Lord's return is literal, personal, visible, imminent,   pre-tribulational, and pre-millennial. He will rapture His Church prior to the seven years of tribulation, and at the end of the tribulation Christ will return with His saints to establish His thousand-year reign on the earth. (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10; Revelation 19:14)
