I believe in the verbal inspiration of
the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments; the Trinity of the Godhead; the
creation of man by the direct act of God; the fall of man and his need for
redemption; the Deity, Incarnation and Virgin Birth of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ; His vicarious atonement for the sins of mankind by the shedding of
His blood on the cross; the resurrection of His body from the tomb; His
ascension into heaven; His personal, imminent return; the Deity of the Holy
Spirit; justification of the believer by grace through faith; a literal devil
who is our adversary; a literal Heaven for the redeemed and a literal hell for
the lost; the infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture to be Scripture
itself; and the requirement of implicit obedience to the expressed commands of
Christ as the standard by which He will judge our love to Him.
