The
One True God. The triune Godhead consists of one true God the Father, Jesus
Christ His Son, and the Holy Ghost the third person of the Godhead (John 10:36;
14:26; 20:21-22).
Lord
Jesus Christ. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death
through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the
right hand of the Father, and in His personal returning in power and glory
(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18, 23; Luke 1:34-35).
Special
Creation. We believe the triune God created the universe apart from preexisting
materials and without any evolutionary process. We believe in the historicity
of the first eleven chapters of Genesis (Genesis 1:1; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalms
102:25; Acts14:15).
Satan.
We believe that Satan was originally created a perfect being. He rebelled
against God. As a result he became depraved, the devil and adversary of God and
His people, the leader of a host of angels who fell with him. Satan has been
judged and defeated at the cross and awaits his ultimate doom at the conclusion
of the Millennial Reign which takes place after the Second Advent of Jesus
Christ (Ephesians 2:2; I Thessalonians 3:5; I Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:9;
20:1-3; 7-10).
The
Fall of Man. Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make
man in our image, after our likeness!" However, man by voluntary
transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also
spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17; 3:6;
Romans 5:12-19).
The
Salvation of Man. Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of
Jesus Christ the Son of God.
