It has God for its author, conservancy for its end, and truth, without whatever mixture of fault, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally truthful and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the earth, the true eye of Christian union, and the supreme standard past which all man conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should exist tried.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures. Through illumination He enables men to empathize truth. He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He calls men to the Saviour, and effects regeneration. At the moment of regeneration He baptizes every believer into the Body of Christ.

Man

Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image.

He created them male and female equally the crowning work of His creation. The souvenir of gender is thus part of the goodness of God's creation. In the beginning human being was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of pick. By his costless choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan man transgressed the control of God, and cruel from his original innocence whereby his posterity inherit a nature and an environment inclined toward sin. Therefore, every bit soon equally they are capable of moral action, they become transgressors and are nether condemnation. Merely the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God. The sacredness of human personality is axiomatic in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore, every person of every race possesses full nobility and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

Salvation

Conservancy involves the redemption of the whole man,

and is offered freely to all who take Jesus Christ equally Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no conservancy apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ every bit Lord.

A. Regeneration, or the new birth, is a work of God's grace whereby believers go new creatures in Christ Jesus. It is a change of heart wrought past the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and religion in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance and faith are inseparable experiences of grace.

Repentance is a genuine turning from sin toward God. Faith is the acceptance of Jesus Christ and commitment of the unabridged personality to Him every bit Lord and Saviour.

B. Justification is God's gracious and total acquittal upon principles of His righteousness of all sinners who apologize and believe in Christ. Justification brings the believer unto a relationship of peace and favor with God.

C. Sanctification is the experience, offset in regeneration, past which the laic is set apart to God'south purposes, and is enabled to progress toward moral and spiritual maturity through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him. Growth in grace should continue throughout the regenerate person'southward life.

D. Glorification is the culmination of conservancy and is the final blest and abiding state of the redeemed.

God's Purpose of Grace

Election is the gracious purpose of God,

 according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. It is consistent with the free agency of man, and comprehends all the means in connectedness with the end. It is the glorious display of God'southward sovereign goodness, and is infinitely wise, holy, and unchangeable. It excludes boasting and promotes humility.

All true believers suffer to the finish. Those whom God has accustomed in Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit, will never autumn away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end. Believers may fall into sin through neglect and temptation, whereby they grieve the Spirit, impair their graces and comforts, and bring reproach on the cause of Christ and temporal judgments on themselves; nonetheless they shall be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.

A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ

is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the world. Each congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic processes. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable to Christ every bit Lord.

Evangelism and Missions

Information technology is the duty and privilege

of every follower of Christ and of every church building of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations. The new nascency of man'due south spirit by God'due south Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others. Missionary effort on the role of all rests thus upon a spiritual necessity of the regenerate life, and is expressly and repeatedly commanded in the teachings of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ has allowable the preaching of the gospel to all nations. It is the duty of every child of God to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded past a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.

Teaching

Christianity is

the faith of enlightenment and intelligence. In Jesus Christ abide all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. All sound learning is, therefore, a role of our Christian heritage. The new birth opens all human being faculties and creates a thirst for cognition. Moreover, the cause of pedagogy in the Kingdom of Christ is co-ordinate with the causes of missions and general benevolence, and should receive along with these the liberal support of the churches. An adequate system of Christian instruction is necessary to a complete spiritual program for Christ'south people.

In Christian teaching there should be a proper residue between academic freedom and academic responsibleness. Liberty in any orderly relationship of man life is always limited and never absolute. The freedom of a instructor in a Christian school, college, or seminary is limited by the pre-eminence of Jesus Christ, by the authoritative nature of the Scriptures, and past the distinct purpose for which the schoolhouse exists.

Stewardship

God is the source of all blessings,

temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him. Christians accept a spiritual debtorship to the whole globe, a holy trusteeship in the gospel, and a binding stewardship in their possessions. They are therefore under obligation to serve Him with their time, talents, and cloth possessions; and should recognize all these equally entrusted to them to use for the glory of God and for helping others. According to the Scriptures, Christians should contribute of their means cheerfully, regularly, systematically, proportionately, and liberally for the advancement of the Redeemer's crusade on world.

Cooperation

Christ's people should,

equally occasion requires, organize such associations and conventions every bit may best secure cooperation for the cracking objects of the Kingdom of God. Such organizations take no authorisation over ane another or over the churches. They are voluntary and advisory bodies designed to elicit, combine, and direct the energies of our people in the well-nigh effective manner. Members of New Testament churches should cooperate with ane another in carrying forward the missionary, educational, and benevolent ministries for the extension of Christ'southward Kingdom. Christian unity in the New Testament sense is spiritual harmony and voluntary cooperation for common ends by diverse groups of Christ's people. Cooperation is desirable between the various Christian denominations, when the end to be attained is itself justified, and when such cooperation involves no violation of conscience or compromise of loyalty to Christ and His Word as revealed in the New Attestation.

Peace and War

It is the duty of Christians

 to seek peace with all men on principles of righteousness. In accordance with the spirit and teachings of Christ they should do all in their power to put an cease to war.

The truthful remedy for the state of war spirit is the gospel of our Lord. The supreme need of the world is the acceptance of His teachings in all the diplomacy of men and nations, and the applied application of His law of love. Christian people throughout the world should pray for the reign of the Prince of Peace.

Religious Freedom

God alone

is Lord of the conscience, and He has left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are opposite to His Give-and-take or not contained in it. Church and state should be separate. The state owes to every church protection and total freedom in the pursuit of its spiritual ends. In providing for such freedom no ecclesiastical grouping or denomination should be favored by the state more than than others. Civil government existence ordained of God, it is the duty of Christians to return loyal obedience thereto in all things not contrary to the revealed volition of God. The church should not resort to the ceremonious power to carry on its piece of work. The gospel of Christ contemplates spiritual ways alone for the pursuit of its ends. The state has no right to impose penalties for religious opinions of any kind. The country has no correct to impose taxes for the support of any grade of religion. A gratis church building in a gratuitous country is the Christian ideal, and this implies the right of gratis and unhindered access to God on the part of all men, and the right to form and propagate opinions in the sphere of faith without interference past the civil power.

The Family

God has ordained the family

as the foundational institution of man social club. Information technology is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption.

Matrimony is the uniting of ane man and i woman in covenant delivery for a lifetime. It is God's unique souvenir to reveal the matrimony between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the woman in matrimony the framework for intimate companionship, the channel of sexual expression according to biblical standards, and the means for procreation of the human race.

The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God's image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. A married man is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibleness to provide for, to protect, and to lead his family.
