- In the unity of the one true and living God revealed in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 43:10-11, Matthew 28:19)
- In the eternal deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, in salvation by faith through His shed blood, in His bearing our sickness and afflictions, in His death and in His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His return to Earth in power and glory. (Hebrews 7:3, John 17:5, Matthew 1:23)
- That all men are lost apart from the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9)
- That sin is cleansed only through personal repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus. (Matthew 26:28, Acts 2:38)
- That personal salvation is the result of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, who baptizes the believer into the body of Christ. (Titus 3:5, 1 Peter 1:3)
- In water baptism by immersion as commanded by the scriptures. (Acts 22:16, Mark 16:16, Acts 10:47)
