Salvation should produce an active lifestyle of loving obedience and service to Jesus Christ our Savior. It is secure in the eternal, unchanging commitment of God who does not lie and is forever the same. It is predestined only in the sense that God, through His omniscience, foreknew those who would choose Him.

Salvation is an act of free will in response to God’s personal love for mankind. The new life in Christ includes the privileges of adoption and inheritance in the kingdom of God’s beloved Son. Salvation is effected by personal repentance, belief in the Lord Jesus (justification), and personal acceptance of Him into one’s life as Lord and Savior (regeneration). The Word of God declares clearly that salvation is a free gift of God, based on the merits of the death of His Son, and is appropriated by faith. Healing-body, soul, and spirit-and all of God’s provisions for His saints, are provided for in the atonement, but these must be appropriated. Article 3 – The AtonementĬhrist’s vicarious death on the cross paid the penalty for the sins of the whole world, but its benefits are only applicable to those who receive Jesus as their personal Savior. It contains all that is needed for guidance in godliness and practical Christian conduct. The Bible is the source of all doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof. It cannot be added to, subtracted from, or superseded in any regard. We affirm that the Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, is alone the only infallible, inspired Word of God, and that its authority is ultimate, final, and eternal. The baptism in the Holy Spirit, subsequent to conversion, releases the fullness of the Spirit and is evidenced by the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit. He empowers the saints for service and witness, cleanses man from the old nature and conforms us to the image of Christ. The Holy Spirit is God, the Lord and giver of life, who was active in the Old Testament and given to the Church in fullness at Pentecost.

For man’s redemption, He left heaven and became incarnate by the Holy Spirit through the virgin Mary henceforth, He is forever one Christ with two natures-God and man-in one person. He was together with the Father and the Holy Spirit from the beginning, and through Him all things were made.

He created man in His own image for fellowship and called man back to Himself through Christ after the rebellion and fall of man. God the Father is the creator and sustainer of all things, and He created the universe in love. The biblical revelation testifies that there is only one God and that He is eternally existent in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is the testimony of both the Old and New Testaments and of the Christian Church that God is both One and Triune.
