The Triune God
In the name of God, we declare and confess before men that we believe in the only true God, the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; that these three are one—the Father in the Son, the Son in
the Father, and the Holy Spirit equal in essence, or being, with both; that this triune God
created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them, visible as well as invisible, and
furthermore sustains, governs, protects, and supports the same.
-
Jesus Christ, The Son
We believe in Jesus Christ; that He is both God and man; that He became incarnate by the power of
the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary and was born of her; that He is the Savior and Mediator of the
whole human race, if they with full faith in Him accept the grace offered in Jesus; that this
Jesus suffered and died on the cross for us, was buried, arose again on the third day, ascended
into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God to intercede for us; and that He shall come again
to judge the living and the dead.
-
The Holy Spirit, Comforter, And Guide
We believe in the Holy Spirit; that He is equal in being with the Father and the Son, and that He
comforts the faithful, and guides them into all truth.
-
The Church
We believe in a holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the resurrection of the body, and
life everlasting.
-
The Holy Bible And Salvation
We believe that the Holy Bible, Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God; that it contains the
only true way of our salvation; that every true Christian is bound to acknowledge and receive it
with the influence of the Spirit of God as the only rule and guide; and that without faith in
Jesus Christ, true repentance, forgiveness of sins, and following after Christ, no one can be a
true Christian.
-
The Salvation Message
We also believe that what is contained in the Holy Scriptures (the fall in Adam and redemption
through Jesus Christ) shall be preached throughout the world.
-
The Christian Ordinances
We believe that the ordinances, namely baptism and the remembrance of the sufferings and death of
our Lord Jesus Christ in the Lord’s Supper, are to be in use and practiced by all Christian
societies; and that it is an obligation of all the children of God to practice them; but the
manner in which ought always to be left to the judgment and understanding of every individual.
