Doctrine
God is three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is all-powerful and all-knowing, and has planned and knows everything that happens, from the greatest to the least.
God created the universe, including mankind, in six days. Man was created in the image of God in knowledge and holiness; but through Adam’s disobedience to God, men have become sinners.
Jesus Christ is one individual, both God the Son and sinless man, the only mediator between God and man. Jesus Christ lived and died for the sins of his people, and since he is God and cannot fail, his people will inevitably be saved from their sins and taken to Heaven to live with him forever.
All salvation, from election to glorification, is a gift of God and is an act of his free grace; no credit is due to sinners. A person is saved through belief of the truth alone, and that belief is a gift of God, not through any of his own works, or the works of any other mere creature, “saint,” or angel.
Jesus Christ, now in Heaven, is coming to Earth again, not as a baby, but in judgment on all who have not believed his Gospel.
