God is one divine essence in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Man was created an intelligent and moral being with body and soul, that he was created holy but of his own free choice fell into sin thus separating himself from God.

The Bible, the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, in their entirety, are the inspired Word of God.

Sin is every transgression of God's laws, and that man is subject to death and eternal damnation by reason of the guilt that attaches sin.

Redemption, out of pure mercy, redeemed mankind from sin, and that the divine Redeemer appeared in Jesus of Nazareth, Son of God and Son of Man.

Faith for all who penitently accept Jesus as the one and only Savior in sincere faith are declared righteous in the sight of God and made heirs of salvation.

Sacrament of Holy Baptism, when administered according to the command of Jesus to infants and adults, is a means of grace by which God offers His grace and the forgiveness of sins. We believe that the sacrament of the Lord's Supper offers us in, with and under bread and wine, the true body and blood of Christ: and that all who receive the sacrament in true faith share in the forgiveness of sins brought about by the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary's cross.

Second coming of Christ: when Jesus will visibly return to the earth on the Last Day to judge the world. The time of His coming is not known to man.

Resurrection on the Last Day, believers in Jesus will rise from the dead; their souls will be reunited with their earthly bodies, glorified by Jesus.

Judgment will be on the Last Day when Jesus will receive into glory all who died trusting in Him as their Savior and will pronounce eternal doom upon all who, in their lifetime, refused to accept Him as their Savior.
