VI. JESUS CHRIST We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son, became human: fully God and fully human, one Person in two natures. We believe that he was born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect and sinless life, was crucified, died, was buried, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven where he is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, exercising in heaven and on earth all of God’s sovereign authority. We believe that Jesus Christ lived as our representative and died as our substitute to pay the penalty for our sin.
VII. SALVATION We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. It is the free gift of God given to spiritually dead sinners who, through regeneration by the Holy Spirit, repent of their sins and trust in Christ alone for their salvation. VIII. THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is sent by the Father and the Son to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Holy Spirit indwells, guides, instructs, equips, revives, and empowers believers for Christ-like living and service.
