God
There is only one God, Creator of the universe, one in essence, existing eternally in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He has revealed Himself as the true and living God, perfect in love and righteousness.
Jesus Christ
The only mediator between God and humankind is Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. In His incarnation the divine Word shared our humanity completely and lived in perfect obedience to the Father. Through His expiatory death for all humankind, Christ revealed His divine love and satisfied divine justice, removing guilt and reconciling to God those who believe in Him. The Lord was bodily resurrected from the dead, ascended to Heaven, sat down on the right hand of the Father, where He is interceding for the saints before the throne of God.
The Holy Spirit
Through the work of the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, we are forgiven of all our sins and justified by faith in Jesus Christ. Baptism in the Holy Spirit empowers us to live a holy life, bearing testimony to everyone around us. The gifts of the Spirit enable us to serve God and the Body of Christ.
The Bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the only infallible guide to faith and the Christian life.
Man
God by His Word and for His glory, created the universe from nothing. Man and woman, the crown of His creation, were made in the image of God to have fellowship with Him. Tempted by Satan, they voluntarily transgressed the law of God and as a result became subject to Divine wrath. Since Adam, every person is born with a sinful nature, inwardly depraved and, apart from grace, incapable of returning to God.
