Core Beliefs
1. The Sufficiency of Christ. Based on His virgin birth, sinless life, present rule and future reign,
sufficient death, and exclusive offer of salvation
(Isa 7:14; John 8:46; Heb. 5:18; Ps 110; Rev 20; John 14:6).
2. The Sufficiency of the Scripture. Based on its divine origin
(2 Tim 3:16-17; Heb. 4:12).
3. The Witness of the Local Church. Based on its commission, call to equip the saints, and govern
itself autonomously
(Matt 28:19,20; Eph. 4:11)
4. The Priesthood of all Believers. Based on the privilege to be Christ’s representatives on earth,
who have no need of a human mediator (1 Tim 2:5)
5. The Total Depravity of Man ( Rom 3:9-20)
6. The Eternal Security of Salvation (1 Peter 1:3-5)
7. The Absolute Sovereignty of God (Ps 103:19; Rom 9-11; Eph. 1:4-14)
8. The Horror of Eternal Punishment (Matt 25:46; Rev 21)
9. The Free offer of the Gospel (Eph. 2:8-10)
10. The Glory of Heaven (John 14; Rev 21-22)
