  • The gospel of the grace of God, how that Christ died for our sins (according to the scriptures), was buried and rose again the third day for our justification.
  • The salvation of sinners by grace alone, through faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the Cross of Calvary, by which we secure the remission of sins (Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 9:12, 22, Romans 5:1).
  • The bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation and His personal coming for His church (John 14:2, 33, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) and His rule over the nations of the earth for one thousand years (Zachariah 14:4, 5, 9, Isaiah 11:1-4, Revelations 20:1-10).
  • Water baptism of believers by immersion in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 19:5, 10:47, 48, 8:37, 38)

  • The gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14, being exercised and practised as manifest in the early church.
  • The spirit filled life, a life of separation from the world, and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith (Ephesians 5:18, 2 Corinthians 6:14, 2 Corinthians 7:1).
