- I believe in the Gospel as the power of God to save everyone who believes.
- I believe in one God in Three Persons, the Creator of man and the world, Supreme Judge for all the sins and the source of human salvation.
- I believe the fall of man as a historical fact that pollutes human nature in total. Therefore, human beings are not able to save themselves.
- I believe in the grace of a sovereign God to human beings who are not worthy to receive salvation, who has chosen His people in His supreme wisdom is supreme by His eternal decree, and act in a dynamic process of history, to redeem them in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
- I believe in the incarnation of Jesus Christ through the virgin birth, His sinless life, crucifixion, death, resurrection, and ascension are historical facts that make up the essence and message of the gospel, as the only means to obtain God’s salvation.
- I believe in the power of the blood of Jesus Christ that cleanses, contained in his sacrifice that is the substitution, propitiation, redemption, and atonement, which gives new life to human beings.
- I believe that the Gospel is the only good news, which provides the basis for a joyful life and eternal hope for mankind. Evangelism is:
- The testimony of true Christians who submit to the commands of God
- Creating personal encounters between sinful people and God, through Jesus Christ
- The reason that leads to saving faith in human heart
- The key to church growth and joy in His eternal presence
- I believe in repentance as evidence of new birth in the Holy Spirit which produces true faith in Jesus Christ and produces fruits of new life.
- I believe in the anointing of the Holy Spirit in Evangelism in the forms of courage, wisdom, strength, and joy of bearing witness, to those who obey the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.
- I believe in the finality of the Gospel, that it is perfect in itself, and cannot be replaced or compared, be it with religious thoughts, philosophy, and worldly good deeds (qualitatively different), or with cultural mandate and social concerns in the faiths of the Orthodox and Evangelicals (only as a complement of pre- and post-evangelization), or with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the miracles and signs in the Bible (that are sometimes used by God to bear witness to the Gospel). We must maintain the perfection of the Gospel.
- I believe in the never-changing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that is able to sustain the Elect and change society through the Elect’s testimonies until the day of the fulfillment of glorification on the day of Jesus’ second coming.
