Bible
The Bible is made up of 66 books from Genesis to Revelation. The Bible is God’s Word! It was Verbally Inspired by the Holy Spirit and penned by men of God. It does not just contain the words of God but it is the very Word of God. It is Inherent, Infallible, and Preserved. The King James Version of the Bible is God’s preserved Word for the English-speaking people.

God
There is only one true and living God! He is the creator of the universe and so powerful that He created it with His words in just six literal days. God is self-existing, eternal, infinite, unchangeable, and immortal. He is the only One that is worthy of worship. God has revealed Himself equally, distinctly, and simultaneously as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1 & 2, Exodus 20:3, Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 45:5-12; Isaiah 57:15, Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 28:19, John 4:24; John 10:30, I Timothy 1:17

Sin
Sin is rebellion against God. The Bible tells us “all have sinned.” Man was created sinless with a perfect relationship with God, but because of Adam’s voluntary sin in the garden, the human race was condemned and separated from God. Sin separates us from God. The word “all” includes everybody in the world, those who have heard the gospel and those who have not heard the gospel. We are all sinners and there is no way, in ourselves, that we could restore our relationship with God.
Geneses 3, John 3:18, Romans 1:20, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:12, 1John 1:9

Salvation
Because of sin, man was separated from God, but God in His grace and mercy sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to be the propitiation for our sin. Jesus was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life. He died on the cross, taking open Himself the sins of the whole world. He was buried then on the third day, just like He said. Jesus rose again conquering death, sin, and the grave! Jesus Saves! Salvation is offered by Grace through Faith to All who will believe in Jesus Christ.
Matthew 1:18-25, John 3, Acts 4:12, Romans 10:13, 1Corinthians 15:3-8, Ephesians 2:4-9,1Timothy 2:3-6, Hebrews 7:25; 9:12 & 22, 2 Peter 3:9, 1John 2:2, Isaiah 45:22

Revelation
The word church comes from the Greek word “Ekklesia” meaning a called out visible assembly. Jesus Christ started the church with His disciples. Jesus is the head of the church. The church is made up of baptized believers. The purpose of the Church is to go, win, baptize, and teach until Jesus comes again.
Matt 3 & 4, 16:16-18, 18:17, 28:18-20, Acts 1 & 2, Rev 2 & 3

Spiritual Gifts
At the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit comes and indwells every believer. He regenerates, sanctifies, and seals all Christians. The Fruit of the Spirit is shown through our lives as we walk in the Spirit. The Spirit of God also gives us gifts at salvation that help us do the will of God.
The gifts given to the Apostles, such as: healing, tongues, interpretation, and prophecy, were for the Apostles only during the transitional time before the Bible was complete. The apostolic gifts have ceased since we have the complete and perfect Word of God.
Romans 12:6-8, 1Corinthians 12-14, I Corinthians 13:10, Galatians 5:22-25, Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:7-13 & 30, 1Peter 4:10-11, Revelation 13:12-15

The Last Days
Christ’s coming is imminent. There will be a pre-tribulation rapture of all the saved to meet Him in the air. The Judgment Seat of Christ will take place in heaven. Then after the 7 year Tribulation on earth, there will be a pre-millennial return of Christ with His saints, to the earth, for a literal one thousand year reign. The Great White Throne judgment time will come with all unsaved to be resurrected and judged. There will be a new heaven and a new earth. “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
Luke 19:11-27, 1Cor 15:50-58, 1Thes 1:10; 4:13-5:11, Revelations 19-22
