It shall be understood that ministry or membership in this church means embracing and supporting, along with other Christian tenets, equally or comparably vital, these doctrinal emphases:
- The divine inspiration and authority of the scriptures; the Deity and humanity, virgin birth and sinless life, substitutional death and bodily resurrection, ascension and pre-millennial coming of Christ;
- Likewise, the sovereignty of God; the total depravity of all men; the necessity of regeneration; Scriptural believer's baptism as prerequisite to church membership;
- The Lord's Supper administered by the local church;
- The local church as an autonomous body, separate from the world;
- The doctrine of the Trinity as historically and Scripturally maintained;
- The rapture of the church as the Christian's hope;
- The resurrection of the body of all Christians concurrent with the rapture;
- The worldwide reign of Jesus Christ;
- An ultimate judgment of the impenitent;
- A heaven of eternal duration for the saved, and eternal punishment in hell for the lost.
- That a soul is saved by repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, and that the soul thus saved is eternally saved and can NEVER be lost.
