That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convince men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.
THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT IS CONTEMPORARY
THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT IS COMPLEMENTARY

That man was created in the image of God, but feel into sin and is therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
MAN IS A CREATED BEING
MAN IS A FALLEN BEING
MAN IS A HELPLESS BEING
MAN IS NOT A HOPELESS BEING

That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God.
THE BLOOD OF CHRIST IS THE PRICE OF REDEMPTION
THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST IS THE PROOF OF REDEMPTION
THE ACCEPTANCE OF CHRIST IS THE PRE-REQUISITE TO THE EXPERIENCE OF REDEMPTION

The water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation
THAT WATER BAPTISM IS AN ORDIANCE INSTITUED BY CHRIST
THAT THE LORD’S SUPPER IS AN ORDINANCE INSTITUTED BY CHRIST

That the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ, of which He is the head.
WE BELONG AS A CONFESSION OF FAITH
WE BELONG AS AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE
WE BELONG AS AN EXPRESSION ON NEED
WE BELONG IN A DEDICATION TO A TASK

That only those who are thus members of the true church shall be eligible for membership in the local church.
AS IS OUR OPTION AS A CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST AND FURTHERMORE OUR OBLIGATION
That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church, and that every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE LORD AND HEAD OF THE CHURCH OUR CHURCH, UNDER CHRIST’S GUIDANCE, IS AUTONOMOUS
Ephesians 2:19-22; Ephesians 1:22-23
In the personal and pre-millennial, and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this “Blessed Hope” has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
THE COMING OF CHRIST IS TO BE PERSONAL
THE COMING OF CHRIST IS TO BE PRE-MILLENNIAL
THE COMING OF CHRIST IS IMMINENT
THE TRUTH OF THE COMING OF CHRIST IS A POSITIVE INFLUENCE TODAY
In the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
