"We
believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, and
infinite, intelligent Spirit, the maker and supreme ruler of heaven and
earth (Deut. 6:4); inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all
possible honor, confidence and love (Isaiah 6:1-3); that in the unity
of the Godhead there are three persons the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Ghost, equal in every divine perfection, executing distinct but
harmonious offices in the work of redemption. (Matthew 28:19)."
"We believe that Jesus
Christ was begotten of the Holy Ghost in a miraculous manner (Luke
1:35) born of Mary a virgin, as no other man was every born or can ever
be born of woman (Isaiah 7:14) and that He is both the Son of God and
God the Son (Hebrews 1:2-8)."

"We
believe that the Holy Bible was written by men supernaturally inspired
(II Timothy 3:16, 17); That it is truth without any admixture of error
for its matter (Psalm 119:160); and therefore is and shall remain to
the end of the age, the only complete and final revelation of the will
of God to men; the true center of Christian union and the supreme
standard by which all human conduct, creeds and opinions should be
tried.
(Psalm 119:89)."
"The Holy Spirit is a
divine person equal with God the Father (John 11:16-17) and God the Son
(Matthew 28:19) and of the same nature (Acts 5:34); that He was active
in the creation (Genesis 1:1-3); that in His relation tot eh
unbelieving world He restrains the Evil One until God's purpose is
fulfilled (Isaiah 59:19); that He convicts of sin of righteousness and
of judgment (John 16:8-11); that He bears witness to the truth of the
Gospel in preaching and testimony (Acts 5:32); that He is the Agent in
the New Birth (John 3:5,6); that He sanctifies and assures to us all
the benefits of salvation (II Corinthians 3:15)."
