In one God eternally existing in three persons
Namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father
Conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
And that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
Faith in the blood of Jesus Christ
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
Sanctification subsequent to the new birth
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness
Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
Speaking with other tongues

The Lord’s supper
In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus
First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
In the bodily resurrection
Eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
