| We believe -- | in the deity of Christ (1), in His virgin birth (2), in His sinless life (3), in His miracles (4), in His vicarious and atoning death (5), in His resurrection from the dead (6), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (7), and in His personal return in power and glory (8). We believe that He was "made to be sin" for our sins, and that He suffered the judgment of divine justice, voluntarily shedding His precious blood and dying on Calvary’s cross, "the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God (9); (1) John 1:1, John 20:28; (2) Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:26-33; (3) 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15; (4) Matthew 8:3-17; John 11:43-44; (5) 1 Peter 2:24, 1 John 2:2; (6) Luke 24:34, 1 Corinthians 15:4-8; (7) Mark 16:19, Acts 1:9-11; (8) 1 Peter 3:18; (9) 1 Peter 3:18 |
| We believe -- | in the necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the sinfulness of human nature; and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith we are saved; John 3:5-8; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-10 |
| We believe -- | in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and that they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation; John 5:28-29 |
