The one, true, and living God exists eternally in three divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are one in substance, power, and eternity. (Gen 1:26; Ex 3:2-6; Deut 6:4; Ps 2; John 1:1-18, 10:30; Rom 9:5; Col 2:9)

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God incarnate, fully God and fully man, one divine person with two natures. He was conceived by the Virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit, lived a sinless life, was crucified, buried, resurrected, ascended to heaven, and will return in the same way He left. (Matt 1:21-23; 25:31-46; Luke 24:1-47; John 1:1; 19:17-19,28-37; Acts 1:9-11; Col 3:1; 1 Thess 4:14-17; 1 Tim 2:5; Heb 4:14-16)

God the Holy Spirit is necessary for making the work of Christ effective to individuals, bringing them to new life and granting them repentance and faith in Jesus. (John 3:1-11; Acts 1:1-8; Eph 2:8-9)
The Holy Spirit indwells those regenerated, producing in them Christ-like character and empowering them for witness. (Acts 1:6-8; Rom 8:29; Gal 4:4-7)
Sanctification is a cooperative work between the Holy Spirit and the believer, who actively pursue holiness. (Heb 10:14)

The Bible, comprising 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament, is God's Word written, entirely true, trustworthy, and powerful to accomplish all God's purposes. It is the supreme authority in matters of faith and practice. (Ps 19:7-11; Is 55:11; 2 Tim 3:15-17; 2 Pet 1:19-21)

The Gospel is the message of salvation found only through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, who is the mediator between God and humanity. Salvation is offered to those who trust in Him. (John 14:6; Eph 1:7-8; 1 Tim 2:5; Heb 7:26-28)
Jesus Christ redeemed believers from the penalty, power, and presence of sin. (John 14:6; Eph 1:7-8; 1 Tim 2:5)

Justification is God's act of undeserved mercy, where sinners are pardoned and accepted as righteous, only because of Christ's imputed righteousness. Justification is received by faith alone. (Rom 3:21-30; Gal 2:16-20)

The church universal is the body of Christ, to which all true believers belong. (1 Cor 12:13; Eph 2:11-19)
The local assembly is commanded by Christ for mutual edification and the performance of public service. (Matt 18:15-20; Acts 14:21-23; 1 Tim 3:14-16)

Human beings are created in God’s image but are now universally sinful, guilty, and responsible before God, rendering everyone subject to God’s wrath and condemnation. (Jer 17:9; Rom 1:18; Rom 3:19-20)
Satan exists and his intent is malign. (Matt 4:1-11; 1 Pet 5:8; 2 Cor 11:14)

Baptism is by full immersion for those who profess repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, symbolizing the washing away of sin and union with Christ. (Matt 28:18-20; Acts 22:16; Rom 6:1-6)

Everyone will be physically raised to life on the last day. (Matt 16:27; John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thess 4:15; 2 Tim 4:1; 1 Cor 15; Rev 20:4-6, 11-15)

Jesus will return to establish His kingdom and judge the world: the righteous to eternal joy, and unbelievers to endless suffering. (Matt 16:27; Mark 14:62; John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thess 4:15; 2 Thess.1:7-10; Titus 2:13)
