1. We believe in only one true and living God, the Father, the Word
and the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are
the written Word of God and the only rule of faith and practice.
3. We believe that God elected, or chose, His people in Christ before
the foundation of the world, that they should be holy and without
blame before Him to love.
4. We believe in the doctrine of original sin, and man's impotency to
recover himself from the fallen state he is in by nature, by his own
free will and ability.
5. We believe that sinners are justified in the sight of God only by the
imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.
6. We believe that God's elect shall be called, effectually regenerated
and santified by the Holy Ghost, and shall be preserved in grace
and never finally fall away.
7. We beleive that baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances of
Jesus Christ and that believes are the only subjects of these
ordinances, and that the true mode of baptism is immersion.
8. We beleive in the resurrection of the dead and a general judgement
and that the punishment of the wicked will be everlasting and that
joys of the righteous will be eternal.
9. We believe that no man has a right to administer the ordinances
only such as are called by God as was Aaron, and come under the
imposition of hands by a presbytery and in fellowship with the
church of which he is a member.
10. We believe that God has ordained good works, that His children
should walk in them, and that good works are only such as God
hath commanded in His Word, and not such as without warrant
thereof are devised by men of blind zeal.
