There is a God: infinite, eternal, almighty and perfect in holiness, truth and love.In God's unity there are three people, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, co-Equal and co-boats.The Son and the Son is not the Holy Spirit, but each is really deity.

He is faithful to every promise, all things work together for the well -being of those who love Him, and in his indispensable grace his Son Jesus Christ gave the redemption of humanity.In common with himself.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, the only -transferred Son of God, is the eternal Word created flesh, supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary.It is perfect in nature, leather and obedience.He was always with God and is God.
All things were created by him and he was created.In the physical fullness.
At his death in our place, he revealed divine love and maintained divine justice, removed our guilt and reconciled us with God.And in a period of 40 days, more than 500 witnesses appeared who performed a lot of mandatory proof of his resurrection.

Writing
We accept the Bible, including the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament, as the Word of God.
The Bible is an essential and infallible report of God's self -dismissal for humanity.
Each book must be interpreted on the basis of its context and goal and in respectful obedience to the Lord, who speaks through it in living.
The writings are the authoritative and normative rule and guide for all Christian life, practice and doctrine.
Any doctrinal formulation, whether of faith, confession or theology, must be tested for the test of God's full advice in the Holy Writing.
Almonds
God created man and woman - in his own image, as the crown of creation, which man could praise him by becoming enjoying community with him.Him, he was subject to Divine anger, inpatient and apart from a special grace, completely unable to return to God.
This destruction is radical and omnipresent.Their character or performance is lost and without hope except salvation in Christ alone.
The Gospel
Jesus Christ is the Gospel.The good news is revealed in his birth, life, death, resurrection and climb..
The death of Christ is a replacement and a prominent sacrifice to God for our sins.
Jesus Christ is the only broker between God and man.There is no other name that people have to be stored.He has reached.
That is why we want everything that takes place in our hearts, churches and ministries and is related to the gospel.
Man's reaction to the gospel
The correct reaction to the gospel is belief in the person and the work of Jesus Christ, a conviction that is naturally accompanied by the repentance of sin.Gentlemen no repentance nor work unless a person is willing to refuse himself, pick up his cross and follow Christ, he cannot become his disciple.
Man's legacy by the gospel
Salvation, the free gift of God, is only delivered by grace by faith only because of Christ only for the glory of God.is honestly explained by God as a free gift.
The justice of Christ is calculated for him.He is justified and fully accepted by God.The miracle of regeneration, which was freed from sin.
Sanctification
The Holy Spirit is the active remedy of our sanctification and tries to produce his fruit in us while our Spirit is being renewed and we agree with the image of Christ., We grow in the knowledge of the Lord, freely hold on to his orders and strives to live in the world, that all people can see our good works and our Father who is glorify heaven.
All believers are admitted to keeping faith by knowing that they will have to give a story to God for their every thought, words and actions.in this connection.
Nevertheless, the ultimate trust of the believer to tolerate God in the certain promise to preserve his people to the end, which is most safe.
Authorized by the Spirit
The Holy Spirit gives believers to Christian witness and service.The promise of the Father is freely accessible to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ, so that they can exercise the forces of the age that are employed and mission.
The Holy Spirit wants to constantly fill every believer with the power to see and to give his supernatural gifts to build the body and work of the ministry.Seriously desired and practiced in an orderly way.
The gifts are important in the mission of the church in today's world.
The church
God through His words and spirit creates the church and calls sinful men from the whole human race in the community of the body of Christ.He leads through the same word and spirit and keeps the new redeemed humanity.
The church is not a religious institution or ecclesiastical society.
The church exists to worship and glorify God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The ultimate mission of the church is worship, and the means on which this is achieved is the production of disciples by preaching and embracing the gospel.
After conversion, newly redeemed men and women are added to a local church where they use themselves for teaching, community, dinner and prayer of the Lord.
Wedding
Our belief in marriage and sexuality - as with all subjects - is based on writing (2 Timothy 3:16). ID created people in his image, male and feminine (Genesis 1:26).We all sinned and somehow fell under the norms of God (Romans 3:23))Ephesians 2: 4-5).
The marriage is a photo of Christ's relationship with his bride - the church (Ephesians 5: 22-23). It has been defined from the start of Scripture as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24) and are confirmed by Jesus as God'sxclusive design for sexual expression (Matthew 19: 4-5).
God designed sexual intimacy as a marriage relationship between a man and Wifeand does not support or approve it in any other context.1 Thessalonicenzen 4: 3-5).
Church regulations
Water baptism is only intended for the person who has received the saving benefits of the reconciliation work of Christ and his disciple.
Water baptism is a visual and symbolic demonstration of the association of a person with Christ such as his death and resurrection.It means that his former lifestyle has been killed and the release of a person from the championship of sin portrays.
As with the baptism of water, the dinner of the Lord must only be observed by those who have become real supporters of Christ.sign of continuous participation in the Soning -benefits of the death of Christ.
When we participate in the dinner of the Lord with an attitude towards faith and self -examination, we remember and explain the death of Christ, we receive spiritual food for our soul and indicate our unity with other members of the body of Christ.
Completion
The completion of all things includes the future, physical, visible, personal and glorious return of Jesus Christ, the uprising of the dead the new heaven and the new earth.
In execution, Satan with his hosts and all outside of Christ is finally separated from the benevolent presence of God, has sustained eternal punishment, but the righteous in glorious bodies must forever live and rule, serve him and give him endless praise and honor.
