2. The One True God. The one true God
has revealed himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed "I AM", and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, i.e. as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isa. 43:10, 11; Matt. 28:19).
3. Man, His Fall and Redemption. Man (Humanity) was created good and upright - for God said, "Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness", "But man, by voluntary transgression fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.". (Gen. 1:26-31; 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21)
4. The Salvation of Man. Conditions to Salvation: The grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ; Man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith he becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 2:11,3:5-7; Rom. 10:13-15; Luke 24:47)
b. The Evidence of Salvation The inward evidence, to the believer of his salvation, is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16); the outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. (John 5.) Baptism in Water the ordinance of Baptism by burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures, by all who have really repented and in their hearts they have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they have the body washed in water as an outward symbol of cleansing, while their heart has already been sprinkled with the blood of Christ as an inner cleansing; thus they declare to the world Jesus, and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Rom. 6:4; Acts 20:21;Heb. 10:22)
5. The Promise of the Father. All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect, and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the Gifts and their uses in the world of the ministry (Luke 24:49;Acts 1:4; I Cor. 12:1-31). This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth. (Act 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9)
6. The Church. The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. (Eph. 1:22-23; Heb 12:23)
7. The Second Coming or Blessed Hope . The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord is the blessed hope of the Church. (1 Thess. 4:16-18; Rom. 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1Cor. 15:51-52; Rev. 11:15)
