the supernatural and plenary (total, full, complete) inspiration of the Scriptures— that they are inerrant and that their teachings and authority are absolute, supreme, and final;

the Trinity of the Godhead—God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the Holy Spirit;

the personality of God; the personality and deity of Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ and God are one; Jesus Christ is God incarnate in the flesh), begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very Man; the personality of the Holy Spirit;

the resurrection of Jesus Christ—that His body was raised from the dead, according to the Scriptures and that He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God as the believer’s Advocate;

the sinfulness of man—that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, are totally depraved, and need a Savior from sin;

the atonement—that Jesus Christ became the sinner’s sacrifice before God when He shed His blood and died as the propitiation (payment) for the sins of the whole world;

the necessity of the new birth—salvation is by grace, through faith, and not of works. Saving faith will maintain good works in the life of the believer;

the literal resurrection of the body—both of the just and the unjust;

the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost;

the evangelization of the world—the supreme mission of God’s people in this age is to preach the Gospel to every creature;

the second coming of Christ, according to the Scriptures.
