I BELIEVE there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Galatians 4:4-5: “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.”
- John 10:30: “I and the Father are one.”
- John 14:16-17: “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.”
I BELIEVE in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death, bodily resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of the Father.
- Matthew 1:23: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us).”
- Hebrews 4:15: “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.”
- John 20:30-31: “Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
- Romans 5:8: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4: “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.”
- Mark 16:19: “So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.”
I BELIEVE the Bible consists of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments and is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17: “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 complete, equipped for every good work.”
I BELIEVE that all of humanity is born with a sinful nature and can only be saved by personal faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
- Ephesians 2:8-9: “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.”
- Romans 10:9-10: “Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”
I BELIEVE in the eternal life of the saved and the eternal punishment of the lost.
- John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
- Revelation 20:15: “And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”
I BELIEVE in the personal, bodily, and visible return of Jesus Christ to establish His kingdom.
- Acts 1:10-11: “And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.'”
