1. the Bible is the inspired and only infallible
and authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16)

three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (II
Corinthians 13:14)
3. in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in
His vicarious birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His ascension to
the right hand of the Father, and in His personal future return to this earth
in power and glory to rule a thousand years. (Matthew 16:6; I Corinthians
15:3 & 4)
4. in the blessed hope, which is the rapture

to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it. (Acts 2:39)

and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting
damnation. (John 5:28, 29)
