II. Of the True God ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᎲᎢ

We believe that there is one, and only one living and true God, an infinite intelligent

Spirit, whose name is JEHOVAH, the Maker and supreme Ruler of heaven and earth;

inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence and love;

that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy

Ghost; equal in every divine perfection and executing distinct but harmonious offices in

the great work of redemption.
