The Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a divine, supernatural revelation.
There is one Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (1 Peter 1:2; Matthew 28:19). They are co-equal in power and glory, identical in their essential natures, attributes, and perfection, and are co-eternal (Genesis 1:2; John 17:5).
Jesus Christ "being the eternal son of God, became man" (John 1:14; Luke 1:35; Hebrews 2:17). Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, thus being True God and True Man.
Christ died upon the cross a vicarious substitutionary death, thereby making atonement for the sins of the world (John 1:29). He is the only Redeemer (Acts 4:12).
Christ arose from the dead. he ascended into Heaven. He is now the interceding High Priest, Intercessor, and Advocate for all believers (1 Corinthians 15:20; Hebrews 7:25).
Man, created in the image of God, fell into sin through the sin of the first Adam and thereby brought upon himself death, both physical and spiritual. All human beings share this guilt and inherit this sin-nature from the first Adam. In order to secure salvation and restoration, man must be born again. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ "Who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the tree" (1 Peter 2:24).
There is a personal devil, a being of great cunning who can exert vast power but only so far as God allows him to do so, and who shall ultimately be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone (1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 20:10; Ephesians 6:11).
The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, indwells all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19), baptizes them into the body of Christ, and seals them unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 1:13).
The Church is the body of Christ, a spiritual organism composed of all born-again persons in this present age. The primary mission of the Church is to witness concerning the Head, Jesus Christ, and to preach the gospel among all nations. The Church will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air prior to His appearing to set up His Kingdom (Ephesians 1:3-6, 22, 23).
