Exhorting people to know and make known Jesus Christ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
that the Holy scriptures are the inspired word of God |
|
|
|
|
in the unity and divine co-equality of the Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit |
|
|
|
|
that God created the heavens and the earth |
|
|
|
|
in the total depravity of human nature in consequence of mans' fall from God's grace |
|
|
|
|
that Jesus is the Son of God, born to a virgin, who lived a sinless life, was nailed to a cross for our sins, died and was buried, and who rose from the grave three days later and is now seated at the right hand of God |
|
|
|
|
in the justification of the sinner solely by faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross |
|
|
|
|
in the work of the Holy Spirit to renew, change and make holy |
|
|
|
|
in baptism by immersion in water of the believer and the partaking in the Lord's supper |
|
|
|
|
in the return of Jesus Christ to judge mankind, with the believers spending eternity in heaven and unbelievers suffering eternal punishment. |
