God
There is one true God who created the heavens and the earth.
The Spiritual Realm
There is an invisible, spiritual, supra-natural realm that exists alongside the visible, physical realm.
The Physical Realm
The physical realm was created by God through Jesus Christ.
The Word of God
The Word of God is God’s expression of Himself to us in terms that we can perceive and understand.
Jesus the Christ
Jesus of Nazareth is the Word of God in human form. He existed with God as God in the spiritual realm before the physical realm was created. He appeared to men in ancient times as the Angel of the Lord and communicated God’s Word to them. He entered the physical realm by taking on a human body in Bethlehem, Judea over 2000 years ago. The appearance of Jesus is God’s ultimate revelation of Himself to mankind.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God given as a promised-commanded gift to those who obey God by believing on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is the Divine Person with whom we are to relate in this present age as we await the return of Jesus Christ from heaven.
The Writings of the Old and New Covenants
Humans were created with the knowledge of God. Sin separated humans from God, causing them to no longer desire the knowledge of God. God revealed Himself in ancient times to individuals who responded to Him with faith. God spoke to these people and some of them wrote down what God revealed to them. These writings were collected and preserved to enable people in all generations to receive the knowledge of God.
The Origin of Humans
God created humans in His image and likeness.
The Origin of Sin
Sin is a spiritual force that emanates from Lucifer, an inhabitant of the Spiritual Realm, and impacts the Physical Realm in the human mind. Sin must be fought at the level of thought to achieve real victory.
Salvation
Salvation is the entire work of God in delivering the spirits, minds, and bodies of men and women from the power of sin, the practice of sin, and the penalty of sin.
