A. In the verbal plenary inspiration, infallibility, and final authority of the Bible (the Old and New Testaments) as the Word of God, in the original writings. II Tm 3:16-17; II Pt 1:20-21; I Pt 1:25.
B. In one God, eternally existent in three person, Creator of all things. Gn 1:1, 26; Dt 6:4; Is 6:3, 8; Hk 1:12; Mt 28:19; Jn 1:1-3; Hb 1:3; Cl:15-17; I Tm 2:5.
1) Father, in His holiness, justice, and love. Ex 3:14; Ps 145:17; Is 6:3; 41:14; 57:15; Ep 2:4: Rm 5:8.
2) Son, in His virgin birth, sinless life, efficacious death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, intercession, imminent coming
for His Church, and premillenial return to reign. Ps 90:2; 102:24- 27; Is 7:14; 9:6-7; 53:1-12; Lk 1:26-35; 24:50-51; Jn 14:1-6; At 1:9-11;

3) Holy Spirit, in His converting and regenerating power, indwelling believers and enabling those who submit to Him to live the sanctified life.
The Mission is not charismatic. Jn 3:3-5; 14:26; 16:7-15; Rm 8:9-16, 23,26,27; I Co 3:16; 6:19; 12:3; Ep 1:13- 14; 4:30; 5:18.
D. In the bodily resurrection of the saved for judgment and eternal life with Christ, and the resurrection of the lost for judgment and eternal conscious punishment in hell. I Co 15: Rv 21:8.
E. In the invisible Church composed of all born-again persons, chosen according to Jn 15:16 and II Th 2:13, having their eternal salvation secure in Christ Jesus. Jn 10:28; Jd 24-25."
