We believe in -

1. The infallibility of the Bible as originally given, written in its entirety by holy men of God under the direction and inspiration of the Holy Spirit; and its sole authority in all matters of faith and conduct both for the individual and the church.

2. The unity of the one true and living God as revealed in the scriptures; Father, Son and Holy Spirit, co-equal and co-eternal, yet each distinct in person and office.

3. The eternal deity of God the Father, Who is neither begotten nor proceeds from any; He exists in an eternal relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ, which is best described by the respective titles of Father and Son; He is perfect in holiness, righteous in judgement, infinite in perfection and glory, sovereign in will and power.

4. The eternal deity, the virgin birth, the perfect sinless humanity, the infallible teaching and miraculous works, the vicarious life and death, the bodily resurrection and triumphant ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ; His sole mediation between God and man; His abiding priestly intercession at the right hand of the Father for all who come to God by Him; His personal bodily return in glory.

5. The eternal deity of the Holy Spirit; the absolute necessity of His work of regeneration and sanctification; His indwelling each one who is born of God; His ongoing work in equipping the church for service with spiritual gifts; also the absolute necessity of His work in ministry and worship.

6. The total depravity of human nature by the fall into sin of Adam as our representative; also the reality and personality of Satan.

7. The sovereign work of God in drawing the sinner to salvation only by grace through the sacrificial and substitutionary death of the Lord Jesus Christ. The necessity for individual repentance toward God and the justification of the sinner only by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

8. The obligation upon each believer to seek to be filled, and be filled continuously, with the Holy Spirit.

9. The final perseverance and eternal salvation of all whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

10. The resurrection of the body and the judgement of mankind by the Lord Jesus Christ; the everlasting conscious bliss of all believers with their Lord in heaven; the everlasting conscious punishment of all the impenitent in hell.

11. The Universal Church, the body of which Christ is Head, embracing all the redeemed, who are called by God through the Gospel, born of the Spirit and justified by faith; the local church, comprised of such believers, is the visible expression of the Universal Church.

12. Fellowship between churches holding the doctrine of the membership of the Universal Church stated in Article 11.

13. The baptism of believers as an ordinance of Divine Institution which does not convey regenerating grace. The belief and practice of this church is to baptise believers by immersion.

14. The observance of the Lord's Supper as an ordinance instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ, Who said 'Do this in remembrance of Me'. It is in no way a sacrifice for sin and involves no change in the substance of the bread or the wine.

15. The effectiveness of the prayer of faith and in the practice of the teaching of the Epistle of James chapter 5, verses 14 to 16 concerning the healing of the sick.
