The Bible
is the divinely inspired word of God, without error
in the original writing and the only infallible
rule of faith and practice. |
| b. |
There is
one God eternally existent in three persons—Father,
Son and Holy Spirit. He is infinite, immeasurable,
transcendent, incomprehensible, omnipotent,
omniscient, omnipresent, ubiquitous, and
unchangeable. |
| c. |
The Lord Jesus
Christ, being fully God, assumed a truly
human nature when born of the Virgin Mary. |
| d. |
The Lord Jesus
Christ did literally and physically perform
the miracles recorded in the four Gospels.
|
| e. |
The Lord
Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and His
atoning death on the cross was a sinless
substitute for sinners and that by taking
the sinner’s penalty, He secured reconciliation
between God and sinners who receive Him
as their Lord and Savior. |
| f. |
The Lord Jesus
Christ rose bodily from the dead the third
day and appeared to many. |
| g. |
The righteous
in Christ after death are consciously in
heaven; those apart from Christ are consciously
in hell. |
| h. |
The Lord Jesus
Christ will return literally and bodily
a second time at which time the dead will
receive reconstituted physical bodies: those
in Christ, glorified bodies and those apart
from Christ, bodies destined for destruction. |
| i. |
The Holy Spirit,
who is equal in power, glory, and honor
to God the Father and God the Son; proceeds
from the Father and the Son to regenerate,
convict, effectually call, sanctify, and
preserve the Elect unto eternal life. |
| j. |
The term Church
is used to refer to both the corporate body
of Christ composed of all who through personal
faith in Christ as Savior and Lord have
been born again and also to the locally
organized group of believers. The body of
Christ is often called the Church invisible,
the local organized group the church visible. |
