JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH - Believers are declared righteous through faith in the Redeemer's shed blood (Romans 4-5).

SANCTIFICATION OF THE BELIEVER - The believer is set apart unto God. This is accomplished in a threefold manner: first, an eternal act of God, based upon redemption in Christ; second, a continuing process in the saint as the Holy Spirit applies the Word of God to the life; third, the final accomplishment of this process will be at the Lord's return (1 Thessalonians 5 :23).

THE GENESIS ACCOUNT OF CREATION -  Man was created by a direct act of God (Genesis 1).

ORIGINAL SIN AND THE FALL OF MAN - Man was created in innocence. By voluntary transgression of God's law he caused all men to be born in sin and under the just condemnation of God (Romans 5:12-14).

ETERNAL GLORY IN HEAVEN FOR THE RIGHTEOUS - Only those who have been justified by faith are truly righteous in God's sight (Romans 6:23).

THE ORDINANCES OF THE LOCAL CHURCH: BAPTISM BY IMMERSION AND THE LORD'S SUPPER - Christian baptism is the immersion of the believer to show his identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. The Lord's Supper in the commemoration of Christ's death until He returns (Matthew 28: 19,20; J Corinthians 11 :23-26).

BIBLICAL SEPARATION ECCLESIASTICAL AND PERSONAL - The Bible commands us to separate ourselves unto God from worldliness and ecclesiastical apostasy (Romans 16: 17).

OBEDIENCE TO CIVIL GOVERNMENT - Government is appointed by God for our interests. Magistrates are to be prayed for honored and obeyed. (Romans 13: 1).

THE PLACE OF ISRAEL - Israel is God's eternal covenant people by sovereign selection (Romans 11 :2).

THE SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER - All who are truly born again are kept by God the Father for Jesus Christ (John 10:28, 29).
