1. of the Scriptures -----------------------We _______ the Holy Bible was written ______ devinely inspired and is a _______ of heavenlly instruction that _______ for its author salvation for its _____ truth without any mixture of eror ____ matter that it reveal the principles which God will judge us and therefore _____ and shal remain to the end of the u_____ the true centre of Christian union and the Supreme Standard by which all humans conduct creeds and opinions should be t_______
2. of the True God ---------------------- We believe _____there is one and only one liveing and true _____ an infinite intelligent spirit whose name is Jehovah the maker and supreme ruler of Heaven and earth inexprssibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all possible honor con__ and love that in the unity of the Godheadther are three persons the father the son and the holy ghost equal in every devine prefection and executing distinct but harmonous offices in the great work of Redempiton
3. Of The Fall of Man ---------------- We believe that man was created in holiness under the law of his maker but by volunteer transgression fell from that holy and happy State in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners not by constraint but chois be____ by nature utterly void of that holiness reqried by the law of God positively incline evil and therefor under just condemnation ______ Eternal ruin witout defence or excuse
4. Of The Way of Salvation -----------------We Believe that the salvation of sinners is wholy of grace throug the mediatorial offices of the son of God who by the appointment of the father freely took upon Him our nature yet without sin honered the divine law by his personal obedience and by his death made a full atonement for our sins that having risen from the dead he is now Enthroned in Heaven and uniting in his wonderful person the tendered Sumpathies with divine perfections he is evry way qualified to be a suitable a compassionate and an all sufficient Saviour
5. Of Justification ------------------------------We believe that the great gospel blessing wich Christ securs to such as believes in him is Justification that justification includes the pardon of sin and the promise of eternal Life on principles of righteousness - that it is bestowed not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done but solely through faith in the redeemers blood by virtue of which faith his perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us of God that it brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God and secures every other blessing needful for time and eternity
6. Of the Freeness of Salvation ---------------We believe that the blessings of Salvation ur made free to all by the gospel that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial penitent and obedient faith and that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth but his own determined deferavity and voluntary rejection of the gospel which rejections involves him in an aggravated condemnation
7 Of Grace In Regeneration ------------------We believe that in order to be saved siners must be regenerated or born again that regeneration consist in giveing a holy disposition to the mind that it is afficted in a manner above our comprehension by the power of the holy spirit in connection with divine truth so as to secure our voluntary obedence appears in the holy fruits of repentance and faith and newness of life ---
8 Of Repentance And Faith --------------------We believe that repentance and faith are sacred duties and also inseparable graces wrought in our souls by the regenerating spirit of God whereby being deeply convinced of our guilt danger and helplessness and of the way of salvation by christ we turn to God with renfeigned contrition confession and suplication for mercy at the same time heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as our prophet priest and King and relying on him alone as the only and all sufficient Saviour ----
Of Gods Purpose of Grace ------------------------ We believe that election is the eternal purose of God accorsing to which he graciously regenirats sanctifies and saves sinners that being perfectly consistent with the free angency of man it somprehends all the means in connection wit the end that is is a most glorious display of Gods sovererign goodness being infinitely free wise holy and unchangeable that it utterly excludes bousting and promotes humility love prayer praise trust in God and active imitation of his free mercy that it encourages the use of means in the highest degree that it may be aseertained by its effects in all who truly believe the gospel that it is the foundation of Christians assurance and that to ascertain it with regard to our selves demands and deserves the utmost diligence
10 Of Sanctification --------------------------- We believe that sanctification is the process by which according to the will of God we are made partakes of his holiness that it is a progress we work that it is begun in regeneration and that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presents and power of the Holy Spirit that seales and comforter in the continual use of the appointed means especially the word of God self examination self denial watchfulness and prayer
11 Of The Perseverance of Saints --------------We believe that such only are real bellieves as endure unto the end that their persverion attachment to Christ is the grand mark which destinguishes them from superficial professors that a special providenc wathces over their welfare and they are kept by the poweer of God through faith unto Salvation
12 Of the Harmony of the Law and the Gospel --- We believe that the Law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of is moral goverment that it is holy just and good and that the inablity which the scriptures ascribe to fallen me, to fulfill its percepts arises entirely from their love of sin to deliver them from which and to restoration through a mediator to unfigured obedience to the holy law is one great end of the gospel and of the means of grace connected with the establishement of the visible church ----
13 Of A Gospel Church ----------------------------- We believe that a visible Church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel observing the ordinances of Christ governed by his laws and exersining the gifts rights and privileges invested in them by his word that its only scriptural officers are bsihops or pastors and Deacons whose qualifications claims and duties are defined in the Epistles to Timothy and Titus
14 Of Baptism and The Lords Supper ------------ We believe that Christian Baptism is the immersion in water of a believer in the name of the father and son and holy ghost to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem our faith in the crucified buried and risen saviour with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life that it is pre requisite to the privileges of a church elation and to the lords supper in which the members of the church by the sacred use of bread and wine are to commemorate together the dying love of christ prededed always by solemn self examination -----
15 Of The Christian Sabbath -------------------------- We believe that the first day of the week is the Lords Day or Christian Sabbath and is to be kept sacred to religious purposes by ofstaining from all secular labor and sinful recreations by the devout observance of all the means of grace both private and public and by prpuration for that rest that remaineth for the people of God --------
16 Of Civil Government --------------------- We believe that Civil government is of devine appointment for the interest and good order of human society and that magistrates are to be prayed for coseientiously honored and obeyed except only in things opposed to the will of our lord Jusus christ who is the only lord of the conscience and the price of the Kings of the earth -----
17 Of The Righteous and The Wicked ------ We believe that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked that such only as trough faith are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and sanctified by the spirit of our God are truly righteous in his esteem while all such as continue in impenitence and unbelief are in his sight wicked and under the curse and this distinction holds among men both in and after death ------
18 Of the World To Come ----------------------We believe that the end of the world is approaching that at the last day Christ will secend from heaven and raise the dead from the grave to final retrebution that a solemn sepurtion will then take place that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment and the righteous to endless Joy and that this judgment will for forever the final state of men in heaven or hell on principles of righteousness ------
Covenant
Having been as we trust brought by devine grace to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ and to give ourselves up wholy to him we do now solemnly and joyfully covenant with each other to walk together in him with brotherly love to his glory as our common Lord and to the end that we may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. and that the glory of Christ may be manifested in the Salvation of men. It is our solemn purpose as God shal give us strength to exercise a mutual care as members on of another to promote the growth of the whole body in Christian knnowledge and true holiness and to let our light shine before the world. Particularly to uphold the public worship of God and the ordinances of his house by a regular attendance thereon to search diligently the sacred asrpturs to train our children and those under our care with a viewto the service of Christ and the enjoyment of heaven. To contribute cheerfully of our property for the support of the poor for the maintenance of a faithful minister of the gospel among us and for the spread of the gospel in all the earth to exhort and if accasion require to admonish one another in the spirit of meekness considering ourselves lest we also be tempted. To cheerfully submit to and conscientiously enforce the wholesome discipline of the church. Keeping ever the unity of the spirit in the bonds of peace and to endeavor by example and precept to teach transgressors the ways of that God whose we are and whome we serve. Remembering that as in baptism we have been buried with Christ and raised afain so there is on us a special obligation henceforth to wallk in newness of life and may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus the great shepherd of the sheep make us perfect in every good work to do his will working in us that which is well pleasing in his sighht through Jesus Christ to whom be glory forever and ever ---- Amen
