The Bible
The Bible is is the mind of Christ given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, infallible, and God's revealed word to man.
God
There is only one eternally existing, true and living God who has chosen to reveal Himself as: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Revelation
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
Mankind
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
The Fall
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Redemption
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Virgin Birth
Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, He is the Son of God and the son of man. He came to save man from condemnation of sin by offering his blood as an atonement and making it available to all who exercise faith in Him.
Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found
in Christ alone.

Healing

Baptism in The Holy Spirit

His Return
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
Heaven and Hell
All mankind is subject to the death of the body as a result of the original sin. The soul and spirit do not die, but immediately enter into a conscious state of happiness or misery according to rejection or acceptance of Christ the Savior.
The bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved to everlasting life and the lost without Christ
to everlasting damnation.
Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Christ will suffer eternal separation form the Godhead. The devil and his angels, the beast, the false prophet and anyone whose name is not found in the Lamb's Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the Lake of Fire. This is the Second Death,
the Lake of Fire.
