We believe:
1. In the infallible, verbal inspiration of the whole Bible and that the Bible is the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, and that God has preserved it for the English speaking world in the Authorized King James Version
2. In the personal triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection.
3. In the Genesis account of creation
4. That Satan is a fallen angel, the archenemy of God and man, the unholy god of this world and that his destiny is the eternal lake of fire
5. In the virgin birth and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ
6. In the deity of Christ
7. The Holy Spirit is the divine administrator for Jesus Christ in His churches.
8. That miraculous spiritual manifestation gifts were done away with when the Bible was completed.
9. That man was created in the image of God and lived in innocency until he fell by voluntary transgression from his sinless state, the result being that all mankind are sinners.
10. That the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary for all mankind and is efficacious only to those who believe.
11. In the bodily resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ and the bodily resurrection of His saints.
12. In the premillennial, personal, bodily return of Jesus Christ as the crowning event of the Gentile age.
13. That the depraved sinner is saved wholly by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and the requisites to regeneration are repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
14. That all who trust Jesus Christ for salvation are eternally secure in Him and shall not perish.
15. That Jesus Christ established His church during His ministry on earth and that it is always a local, visible assembly of scripturally baptized believers in covenant relationship to carry out the Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ and each church is an independent, self governing body, and no other ecclesiastical body may exercise authority over it.
16. That Jesus Christ gave the Great Commission to the New Testament churches only and promised the perpetuity of His churches.
17. There are two ordinances in the Lord’s churches: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Scriptural baptism is the immersion of penitent believers in water, administered by the authority of a New Testament church in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial ordinance, restricted to the members of the church observing the ordinance.
