The Old and New Testaments are God’s written revelation to man, fully inspired by the Spirit of God to the very words penned by the human authors (Second Peter One: twenty to twenty-one; three: fourteen to sixteen). Therefore all sixty six books are inerrant and foundational as the final authority in matters of doctrine, practice, and lifestyle (Second Timothy three: fourteen to seventeen).

God is an infinite eternal Spirit (Jeremiah ten: ten; John four: twenty four) who has revealed Himself through the Scriptures in three Persons – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew three: sixteen-seventeen; Second Corinthians thirteen: fourteen). God is the Holy One who lacks nothing in power, wisdom, and love (Isaiah forty: twenty five-thirty one; Revelation four: eight). God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that dwells in them (Genesis two: one to three; Revelation four: eleven). God alone determines and declares in His Scriptures what is good, very good, not good, and corrupt (Genesis two: eighteen; Jeremiah seventeen: ten).

The Father is the true and living God (John five: twenty-six; six: fifty-seven). The Father is the One from whom all things derive including salvation. He is the giver of all good gifts, including His Son (John three: sixteen-eighteen; Ephesians three: fourteen-seventeen (a). The Father sets the times and the seasons by His own authority (Acts one: seven; three: nineteen-twenty-one;). After the Father has placed all things under His Son, the Kingdom of Christ will be handed to Him, so that the Father may be the All in All (first Corinthians fifteen: twenty-four-twenty-eight).

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God (Hebrews one: eight; first John one: one-two), who became incarnate without sin born of the virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit (Isaiah seven: fourteen; nine: six-seven). Jesus Christ is true God and true man, the exact representation of God’s being (John one: fourteen (b); Hebrews one: one-three). He died on the cross, was buried, and three days later was raised from the dead (Acts two: twenty-three to twenty-four, first Corinthians fifteen: three-four), ascended to heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the Father (Acts two: thirty-three to thirty-six). He is the Head of the Church (Colossians one: eighteen) and ministers as our High Priest and Advocate (Hebrews four: fourteen-fifteen).

The Holy Spirit is eternal and possesses all the attributes of God (Psalm One-hundred-thirty-nine: seven to eight; Hebrews nine: fourteen). He indwells all those who have put faith in Christ (Acts two: thirty-eight-thirty-nine; Romans eight: nine). At conversion the Spirit baptizes each one into the body of Christ, the Church (first Corinthians twelve: thirteen; Romans six: three). The Holy Spirit fills, equips, and guides believers so they may obtain a full maturity in Christ (John seven: thirty-nine; Acts four: eight). No particular spiritual gift is required to be manifested so a believer may be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians two: nineteen-twenty-two; five: eighteen-twenty-five).

The Heavens and the Earth and all that are within them were created by the power and wisdom of God for His pleasure and glory (Revelation four: eleven). Like the New Heavens and the New Earth to come (second Peter three: ten-thirteen), the present Heavens and Earth came to be in an incredibly short period of time, six evenings and mornings (Genesis one: thirty-one; two: one-three). Each creative work of God during the week was begun and finished within a day, establishing and demonstrating God’s ability to do incredible works of salvation in a single day (Genesis two: four-six; Exodus twenty: eight-eleven), such as Passover (Exodus thirteen: three), Red Sea Crossing (Exodus fourteen: thirty), Atonement (Leviticus sixteen: thirty), Cross (Luke twenty-three: forty-three, forty-four), Resurrection (Luke twenty-four: seven), Redemption (first Corinthians fifteen: fifty-one-fifty-two), and Second Coming (Zechariah fourteen: seven; Matthew twenty-four: thirty-thirty-one, thirty-six).

Man was created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis one: twenty-five-twenty-seven; James three: nine). Man was created from the dust of the ground on the sixth day of creation apart from any process of death (Genesis one: twenty-seven, thirty-one). On the same day woman was taken from the side of man to become fellow to heir of life (Genesis two: twenty-one-twenty-three). Through Adam’s disobedience man became dead in trespasses and sins, born with a corrupt nature and is incapable of turning to God for salvation apart from God’s grace (Genesis three: nineteen; John six: sixty-five). Holy matrimony consists of one man and one woman, reflecting strengths and roles of each gender (Genesis two: twenty-four; first Corinthians eleven: seven-ten;).

The Substitutionary Atonement of Christ is the only means of redemption, for apart from the shed blood of Jesus there is no salvation (Leviticus seventeen: eleven; Isaiah Fifty-three: four to six; Romans three: twenty-five).

Justification by Grace through Faith in the death and resurrection of Christ is the only means of salvation (Matthew one: twenty-one; Acts four: twelve). Sinners are not saved through any of their own merit or works, but good works are an evidence of salvation (Galatians three: eleven to fourteen; Ephesians two: four to ten). Christ who knew no sin became sin so that those who believe in Him may be declared righteous by the Father (Romans three: twenty-one to twenty-four; second Corinthians five: twenty-one). Those who have been justified by grace through faith are eternally secure in Christ (John five: twenty-four; ten: twenty-eight to thirty), since they have been given the seal of the Holy Spirit to guarantee their day of redemption (Ephesians one: thirteen to fourteen).

The Resurrection of Christ is bodily and gives witness to the future resurrection (Matthew twenty-eight: one to ten; first Corinthians fifteen: one to eleven). The first resurrection is unto life eternal for all those who believe in Him (first Corinthians fifteen: twelve to twenty-three; Revelation twenty: four to six). The second resurrection, one thousand years later, is for all who died in their sins unto condemnation (Revelation twenty: four to six).

The Church is composed of all who are united by the Holy Spirit with Christ (Acts two: one to thirteen; first Corinthians twelve: twenty-seven to thirty-one; Ephesians two: fourteen to twenty-two). The Church has two ordinances, Believer’s Baptism (Matthew twenty-eight: nineteen to twenty; Acts two: thirty-eight to forty-one) and the Lord’s Supper (Matthew twenty-six: eleven to twenty-nine; first Corinthians eleven: seventeen to thirty-four). Believer’s baptism signifies that one is identified with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. It is a commitment to follow Christ exclusively in the newness of life, having been cleansed from past sins (Romans six: one-four; second Peter one: nine).

Holiness of the Believer is both declared by God at the time of regeneration (Colossians three: twelve; first Petet two: four to five), and the transformational goal to be formed into the likeness of Christ (Rom. eight: twenty-eight to thirty; first John three: five to nine). Two natures are possessed by those who are born again, the first through natural birth and the second through the Spirit (John three: three to eight; firstJohn three: nine to ten). The believer is to walk in the Spirit producing the fruit of the Spirit, so as not to gratify the desires of the flesh (Galatians five: sixteen to twenty-six; first Thessalonians four: three to eight).

Making Disciples through the proclamation and the living out of the gospel of Christ is the mission of the church (Matthew twenty-eight: eighteen to twenty). Since all are lost apart from faith in Christ, it is urgent that believers be committed that all nations be given a witness of Christ’s love (Isaiah four nine: six; Acts one: eight).

The Second Coming of Christ will be personal, bodily, visible, and triumphant (Matthew twenty-four: thirty to thirty-one; Acts one: eight to eleven). No one, but God, knows the time of His Coming (Mark thirteen: thirty-two). Christ will establish the throne of David upon the earth and reign in righteousness for one thousand years (Isaiah nine: six to seven; Revelation twenty: one to six).

The Destiny of the Wicked, the devil and his angels, and of all who are unbelievers is eternal punishment called Hell (Matthew twenty-five: forty-one to forty-three; Mark nine: forty-four, forty-eight). The devil, known as “Satan”, “the prince of the air”, and “the god of this age” is the enemy of God and His saints (Ephesians two: two; first John three: seven to ten). He and his cohorts were defeated at the cross (Colossians two: fifteen), yet he roams to and fro now seeing whom he may devour (first Peter five: eight). Believers overcome his schemes through faith in Christ and the sword of the Spirit, the word of God (Ephesians six: ten to eighteen). At the Second Coming the Devil will be tormented and restricted for one thousand years from deceiving the nations, then will be released for a short time (Revelation twenty: one to three), and finally sent to the lake of fire, also known as Hell (Revelation twenty: seven to ten). All unbelievers will be judged at the Great White Throne from where they will be consigned to eternal conscious torment (Luke sixteen: nineteen to thirty-one; Revelation twenty: eleven to fifteen).
