That there is only one God, who is perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship. That there are three persons in the Godhead; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, undivided in essential nature and co-equal in power and glory. That in the person of Jesus Christ the Divine and human natures are congruent, so that He is truly God and truly man. That Adam and Eve were created in a state of innocence, and by their disobedience they lost their purity and happiness, and that in consequence of their fall, all men have become sinners; totally depraved, as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God. That the Lord Jesus Christ by His suffering and death made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will be obedient may be saved. That repentance towards God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary for salvation. That we are justified by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that he that believeth and does God's will hath good witness in him. That continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ. That it is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified, and that their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the immortality of the soul; in the resurrection of the body; in the general judgment at the end of the world; in the eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the endless punishment of the wicked. May God bless all that read this, Amen.. |
