The Old and New Testaments are inerrant as inspired by God, and the only authority for faith and life practice. (II Tim. 3:16; II Peter 1:20, 21)
2. God
In one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29; Gen. 1:26; Col. 1:15-17; Gen. 1:2; Acts 13:2)

4. Salvation
In salvation by grace through faith in the atoning blood of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – who is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, became man and was sinless, in order that He might redeem mankind and reveal the Father -and that all who receive the Lord Jesus are “born again” of the Holy Spirit and become children of God. (Job 10:12, 22:2; Eph. 2:8, 9; Lev. 17:11; Heb. 9:22; Rev. 12:11; John 3:16; Matt. 1:20; Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Isa. 53; John 1:1,14,18; John 3:3; I Peter 1:23; Rom. 8:16; Gal. 4:6,7)

6. The Church
In the universal, “body of Christ,” composed of all believers; and the church (“local called out assembly,”) a part of the greater. (Psa. 135:1; I Cor. 12:12-14; Acts 11:26)
7. Satan
In the personality of Satan, angels, and other spirit beings both good and evil. (Job 1:6; Matt. 4:1; Psa. 34:7; Luke 22:43; Psa. 106:37; Mark 5:1-9; Eph. 3:10; Rom. 8:38)
