The sin of Adam and Eve incurred physical and spiritual death, so that all human beings have an inherent sinful nature and are in need of a Savior for their reconciliation to God.
(Genesis 3:1-21; Romans 5:12; II Corinthians 5:21; Psalm 51:5)
Jesus
The Lord Jesus Christ is the only Savior, that He was crucified for our sins as a voluntary representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified eternally on the grounds of His shed blood.

In the bodily resurrection of all persons, the saved to eternal life and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.
(I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20:5-15)
The Church
The universal Church is an organism composed of all who have received Christ as Savior and consequently have been baptized by the Holy Spirit into one body, that the local church is an organization composed of believers united for worship, instruction, fellowship, missionary endeavor, and service to God and one another.
Holy Spirit Baptism
God the Holy Spirit baptizes the believer into the body of Christ and indwells him completely at conversion. As the believer's heart is yielded to the Holy Spirit, the believer's life increasingly evidences the fruit of the Spirit.
(I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 5:18; Galatians 5:22-23)

Believers are to passionately pursue holiness and to purposefully abstain from sinful practices.
