2. In one God eternally existing in three persons namely, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, buried, and raised from the death. That he ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the father as the Interessor.

4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for the forgiveness of sins.

5. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

6. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth , through faith in the blood of Christ, through the word, and by the Holy Ghost.

7. Holiness to be God’s standard of living for his people.

8. In the baptism of the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.

9. In speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

11. Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.

12.  In the Lord’s Supper and the washing of the saint’s feet.

13. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus.. First to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to him in the air. Second, to reign on earth a thousand years.

14. In the bodily resurrection, eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
