We affirm the Divine inspiration, truthfulness, and authority of both the Old and New Testament Scriptures, in their entirety, as the only written Word of God, without error in all they affirm, and the only infallible rule of life, faith, and practice.
We also affirm the power of God’s Word to accomplish His purpose of salvation. The message of the Bible is addressed to all mankind, for God’s revelation in Christ and in Scripture is unchangeable. Through it, the Holy Spirit still speaks today. He illuminates the minds of God’s people in every culture to preserve its truth freshly through their own eyes.
Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, which is to say, He is Himself very God. He took upon Himself our nature, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the world. He arose from the dead in the body in which He was crucified.
He ascended into heaven in that body glorified, where He is now, our interceding High Priest, and will come again as promised in scripture.
