Complete inspiration of scripture: In the verbal, complete inspiration of the Old and New Testaments and hold them to be the inerrant Word of God, the supreme and final authority. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: In one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1) Jesus Christ, true God, true man: That Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. He lived a sinless life and died for our sins according to the Scriptures – as a representative, substitutionary and complete sacrifice. He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and is today our High Priest and Advocate. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14) For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures… 1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
The Holy Spirit, helper, teacher, and guide: In the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement – to regenerate, sanctify, baptise, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. He indwells every believer in Christ, and is an abiding helper, teacher and guide. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
His sovereign mercy and grace: That man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, lost, without hope, except in His sovereign mercy and grace.So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
Salvation by faith alone: That salvation is received by faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ. All who trust in Him alone are justified and assured of eternal life by His shed blood. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12) Live a holy life: That Christians are called to live a holy life of service and testimony for the glory of God and the well-being of their fellow man. But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:14-16) Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honour him. (John 12:25-26)
His worldwide kingdom on earth: In the imminent coming of Christ for his Church and the visible and personal coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to establish his worldwide Kingdom on the earth.Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. (Titus 2:13)
The bodily resurrection of all: In the bodily resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous; the righteous to everlasting communion with God – the unrighteous to everlasting separation from God. Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgement. (John 5:28-29)
The Great Commission of Believers: In the great commission our Lord gave to His Church, which is to evangelize and make disciples of all nations, and that this is the great mission of the Church. And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. (Mark 16:15)
