About Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again some day to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22, 23, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-5, 14:10-30, Hebrews 4:14, 15, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4, Romans 1:3, 4, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Timothy 6:14, 15, Titus 2:13
About The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift, or gifts, when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily. 2 Corinthians 3:17, John 16:7-13, 14:16, 17, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:1; 6, Ephesians 1:13, 5:18, Galatians 5:25
About The Bible: The Bible is God's word to us. Human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, wrote it. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian belief and living. Because God inspires it, the Bible is the truth without any mixture of error. 2 Timothy 1:13, 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20, 21, Psalm 119:105, 160; 12:6, Proverb 30:5
About Human Beings: People are made in the Spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life. Genesis 1:27, Psalm 8:3-6, Isaiah 53:6a, 59:1, 2, Romans 3:23
About Salvation: Salvation is God's free gift to us. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be born again, saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. Romans 5:1, 6:23, Ephesians 2:8, 9, John 14:6, 1:12, Titus 3:5, Galatians 3:26
About Eternal Security: Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure that salvation is for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot "lose" it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security. John 10:29 @ 2 Timothy 1:12 @ Hebrews 7:25, 10:10, 14 @ 1 Peter 1:3-5
About Eternity: People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God exists in Hell. To be eternally in union with Him exists in Heaven. John 2:25, 3:16, 5:11-13, Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:15, Matthew 1:8, 2:44, 46
About The Church: The universal church is made up of all born again believers. The local church is comprised of born again believers who have joined together, as the Body of Christ, to serve God. The two ordnances of the church are believer’s baptism by emersion and the Lord's Supper. Acts 2:41-47, Luke 4:18-19, Romans 12:4-8, 1 Corinthians 12-14, 1 Peter 4:10-11, Ephesians 4:11-21, 1 Corinthians 11:23-34, Matthew 28:18-20
