The Scriptures
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of
Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its
author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its
matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the
principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end
of the world the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by
which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All
Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.
God
There is one and only one living and true God. …The eternal triune God
reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal
attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
God the Father
God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures,
and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His
grace. …God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through
faith in Jesus Christ.
God the Son
Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ, He was
conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. …He honored the
divine law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the
cross, He made provision for the redemption of men from sin.
God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God fully divine. …He exalts Christ. He convicts
men of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. …He enlightens and empowers
the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.
Man
Man is the special creation of God, in His own image. He created them male and
female as the crowning work of His creation. …By his free choice man sinned
against God and brought sin into the human race. … The sacredness of human
personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that
Christ died for man; therefore every person of every race possesses dignity
and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all
who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained
eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes
regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification.
Baptism & the Lord's Supper
Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. …It is an act of
obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen
Savior, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection
to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members …
memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming.
Evangelism & Missions
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and every church of the
Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations... to seek
constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a Christian
lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
Family
God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It
is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood or adoption.
Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for
a lifetime. ... The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both
are created in God's image. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the
church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, to protect, and to
lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of
her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ.
She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has
the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper
in managing the household and nurturing the next generation... Children, from
the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. Parents
are to demonstrate to their children God's pattern for marriage.
