T he Sovereignty and grace of God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit in creation providence revelation redemption and final judgment; The divine inspiration of Holy Scripture and its consequent entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;
The universal sinfulness and guilt of fallen man making him subject to God’s wrath and condemnation; The substitutionary sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as the sole and all-sufficient ground of redemption from the guilt and power of sin and from its eternal consequences;
The justification of the sinner solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ crucified and risen from the dead; The illuminating regenerating indwelling and sanctifying work of God the Holy Spirit. The priesthood of all believers who form the universal Church the Body of which Christ is the Head and which is committed by His command to the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world; The expectation of the personal visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory.
The Believers Covenant.
‘We who, through the mercy of God, and our Lord Jesus Christ, have obtained grace to give ourselves to the Lord, and one to another by the will of God, to have communion with one another, as saints in one gospel fellowship:—Do, before God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, and the holy angels, agree and promise to walk together in this one gospel communion and fellowship as a church of Jesus Christ, in love to the Lord and one to another, and endeavour to yield sincere and hearty obedience to the laws, ordinances, and appointments of our Lord and Lawgiver in his church. And also do agree and promise, the Lord assisting, to follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another, that so living and walking in love and peace, the God of love and peace may be with us. Amen.’
John Bunyan 1681
