THE
SCRIPTURES
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of
God.
THE GODHEAD Our God is one, but
manifested in three persons - the Father, The
Son, and the Holy Spirit, being coequal (Phil. 2:6). God the
Father
is greater than all; the sender of the Word (Logos) and the
Begetter
(John 14:28, John 16:28, John 1:14). The Son is the Word
made
flesh, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father
from the
beginning (John 1:1, John 1:18, John 1:14). The Holy Spirit
proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is
eternal (John 15:26).
CHRIST Jesus is the Christ, conceived by the
Holy Spirit and virgin born, the Son of God, the
one and only Savior, the Lord of all.
ATONEMENT Christ sacrificially died on the
Cross and shed His blood as the atonement for
sin.
ASCENSION God raised Him from the dead body. He
ascended into Heaven, and he will visibly return
in glory according to His promise.
SALVATION Salvation is God's gift of eternal
life, presented to all who, by faith, accept
Jesus Christ as Savior and receive spiritual new
birth by the Holy Spirit.
ABUNDANCE Abundant Christian Life is possible
only for those who continually yield their lives
to the power and control of the indwelling Holy
Spirit.
THE GREAT
COMMISSION Jesus issued Christians a "Great
Commission": to spread the Good News of His
salvation to all peoples and every nation. To
fulfill this commission, Christians must not
only proclaim the love of God, but demonstrate
it through deeds of compassion, such as feeding
the poor and hungry, providing for orphans and
the homeless, and assisting the sick and
distressed as God directs.
