  1. 1. The Bible is the inspired word of God. (2 Tim 3:16-17; Proverbs 30:5-6) ; Revelations 22:18-19.
  2. 2. The Trinity, God in three persons: the Father, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Cor 13:13; Matt 28:19-20.

  4. 4. Since the fall, all men are totally depraved, sinful and guilty, and became subject to the wrath and condemnation of God. Ps 51:5, Job 14:4, Rom 3:23; 5:12-17 Eph 2:1-3.
  5. 5. The salvation of God is obtained only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Prov 28:13; Isaiah 55:7; Eze 18:21-23, Mark 1:15, Luke 24:46, Act 2:38; 3:19; 20:20-21; 2 Cor 7:10; Heb 6: 1-3.
  6. 6. Restitution is to amend the wrongs committed against others, to return the stolen things to the owners, to pay debts, to make up what was cheated. Gen 20:1-8; Exo 22:1-7; Num 5:6-8; 2Sam 12:1-6, Prov 6:31; Eze 33:14-16, Matt 5:23-24; luc 19: 8-9, Act 23:1-5; 24:16.

  9. 9. The Lord’s Supper was instituted by Jesus Christ for believers (all members of the family of God) to participate regularly to “proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.” Matt 26:26, Luke 22:17-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-30.
