Christ - We believe that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God, was with the Father and the Holy Spirit at the time of creation, left the Courts of Heaven and came to earth, took upon Himself the form of humanity, sin excepted, by being born of the Virgin Mary, manifested His power, was crucified, placed in Josephs tomb, rose again the third day, completed the great plan of salvation, walked and talked with His disciples, publicly ascended to Heaven, and that He will descend again -25- i j! i! i,,! l i ", il 1],.i ;

Has taken up His office work among all nations of people, as a Divine Reprover, Comforter and Guide. -Judges 6:34, 11:29; St. John 16:8-14; saiah 63:1-12; Ephesians 4:3; Acts 8: The Bible - We believe the Bible, which is composed of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments was given by inspiration of God, is our way-bill from earth to heaven, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice. - Peter 1:19-21; Tim. 3:14-17; Daniel 1:21; Acts 1:16-17; Matt. 21: The Fall of Man - We believe that God created man good, gave a just law by which he should be governed, with the promise of reward for faithfulness and with penalties of punishment for disobedience. Gave man power of free moral agency to choose the right and reject the wrong. But our first parents heeded the voice of the great enemy of souls, voluntarily transgressed the law of God, fell with. their posterity under the just penalty of the same, and were unable of their own power to extricate or save themselves from the great dilemma into which they had fallen. God gave them the hope of salvation through the coming of Christ. -Gen. 1:27: 2:16-17, Rom. 11:11-35; Rom. 5:18; Psalms 37: Redemption, Salvation, Adoption - We believe that Jesus Christ by His birth, death, burial, resurre~tion and ascension paid the purchase price for the redemption of the whole human race, arranged a pardon for all who came upon Gospel terms; and a law of adoption into the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal inheritance into the glorified Kingdom above. -Heb. 9:12; Gal. 3:13, 4:4-5; Titus 2:14; Heb. 1:4; St. John 3:16; saiah 45: Conditions of Salvation - We believe that all persons dying in infancy and all idiots are saved by the Atoning merits of the Son of God without any act on their part, that persons coming to the years of accountability, transgressing the law of God, must upon their part, exercise faith in Jesus Christ through repentance toward God, at the completion of which pardon takes place in the mind of the Fat~er and by the Holy Spirit they pass through the ordeal of regeneration, are washed in the blood of the Lamb and are planted in the Kingdom of Christ. -John 3; Matt. 19:13-22; Cor. 7:1; Luke 18:17; St. John 4:11-16; Psalms 98:3. 8. Salvation Free - We believe that God desires the salvation of -26-

29 all; Christ died for all; the Gospel invites all; the Holy Spirit strives for all; and whosoever will may come and be saved on the terms of the Gospel. -Rev. 22:17; Peter 1:9-13; Peter 2:9-24; Rom. 3: Baptism - We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of believers in water, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, in which are represented the burial and resurrection of Christ; also represents our death to sin, and only those who have come under the presbytery of the elders are qualified to administer the same. -Matt. 3:14-16; 3;5, 6; Peter 3:21; St. John 3:23; Acts 1:47; Matt. 28: Communion and Feet Washing - We believe that the Lords Supper and the washing of the saints feet are ordinances of the Gospel of Christ; The Lords Supper was instituted by our Saviour to commemorate His broken body and shed blood for the sins of the world and to show our remembrance of Him till He comes. All Christians have a right to the Lords Supper and should be invited. "Let a man examine himself and so let him eat." The washing of feet was instituted by our Lord at the same time that Supper was instituted as an act of humility to show our love for each other, and both ordinances should be perpetuated by all Christians until His second comirig. -Luke 22:19, 2; Cor. 11:2-29; St. John 13:1-18; Matt. 26: The Sabbath - We believe that the Christian Sabbath should be observed as a day of rest and for the worship of God; that we should abstain from all sinful amusements and secular employments, works of mercy and piety excepted. -Exodus 2:11; 31:12-18; Deut. 5:12-15; Ezek. 2:12; Matt. 28:1; Luke 23:56; Acts 13:42-48; Mark 2: Call to the Ministry - We believe in a Divine call of the ministry; that God in His goodness and power of grace, impresses His ministers with the burden of lost souls to the extent that the call becomes irresistible with personal contentment; that when they yield to the call and exercise the native gifts according to the Scriptures, with full reliance upon Him, He accompanies them in person of the Holy Spirit to guide them in the way of truth and to bless their labors according to His purposes -Jonah 1:1; Jer. 1:5; Mark 3:14; Acts 1:22-26; Matt. 28: The invisible Church - We believe that the nvisible or Spiritual Church is the redeemed in the aggregate, is the family of God, is composed of all true Christians of every congregation from righteous Abel to the restitution of all things from every kindred, nation, tongue and people. -Eph. 3:16-21; Heb. 12:22, 23; Peter 2:5; Eph. 2:2-22; Acts 2:47; Matt. 16: The Visible Church - We believe that a visible church of Christ -27- i i li i i i: ~

30 is a congregation of faithful men and women, having obtained fellowship with the Lord and with each other, agreeing to keep up a good discipline and doctrine according to the rules of the Gospel. - Thess. 1:1; Acts 16:5; John 1:1; Matt. 18:17; Acts 2:28; Rev. 1:4, 11, Perseverance - We believe that all true believers in Christ should persevere in divine graces, and in the knowledge of the truth and that Gods grace is sufficient to help them to overcome all the obstacles of life and that all the combined forces of the great enemy of souls on earth and in Hell (or in his eternal abode) are not able to pluck them from his hand so long as they walk in the path of duty; but those who sidestep and willfully refuse or neglect to perform their duty, they would backslide and if persistently continued, would be eternally lost. - Cor. 9:1; Peter 1:4-8; Peter 1:12; Peter 2:2; Rom. 8:35-39, Apostasy; Peter 1:8-9; Cor. 1:1-13; Heb. 12:15-17; John 5:16; Heb. 6:1-6; Tim. 4:1-2; Heb. 3:12; St. John 15:1-7; Matt. 12: Christ the Head of the Church - We believe that Christ is the Great Head of the Church and that the government of the local church is with the body. -Col. 1:18-19; Matt. 16:18; He b. 12:23; Matt. 21:42; Eph. 1:22; Acts 16: Sanctification - Sanctification is a work of Gods grace, by which the soul is cleansed from all sins and wholly consecrated to Christ. t takes place in regeneration, and the Christian can and should abide in this state to the end of life constantly growing in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. - Cor. 6:11; Thess. 2:13; Heb. 12:14; Phil. 3:21; St. John 17:17-19; Tim. 2:2; Thess. 5: The Resurrection - We believe in the resurrection of the dead, both of the righteous and the wicked. When the resurrection shall take place, the soul and body shall be reunited, the righteous shall be received into everlasting happiness to reign with God forever but the wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment. -Matt. 28:6; St. John 5:28-29; Cor. 15: The Soul - The soul is endless, hence does not die with the body, but immediately after death enters into a conscious state of happiness or misery, according to spiritual character here possessed. -Phil. 1:23; Luke 23:43; Rev. 6:9; Luke 16:19-25; Matt. 1: Judgment - We believe that there will be a general, universal judgment, when all men shall be judged according to their works whether they be good or bad, and that immediately thereafter the wicked shall enter into everlasting punishment and the righteous into eternal h\ppiness. - T:.ess. 1:4-9; Rev. 14:9-13; Luke 16:23; Rev. 21:8, Cor. 5:1, Matt. 12:36-37; Rev. 2:12-13; Acts 17:
