BASIS OF FAITH

The unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the Godhead.

The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgment.

The divine inspiration and the entire trustworthiness of the Holy Scriptures, as origin

ally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

The universal sinfulness and guilt of all men since the fall, rendering them subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.

Redemption from the guilt, penalty, dominion and pollution of sin, solely through the sacrificial death (as our Representative and Substitute) – of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God.

The bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead and His ascension to the right hand of God the Father.

The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration.

The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through Faith alone.
