We believe that Adam by transgression fell under the curse of God’s Holy Law and involved all his unborn race.
We believe that man is not able to extricate himself from the dilemma (sic) that he is in.
We believe that God give them grace in his Eternal Son before the foundation of the world and man is justified by grace alone.
We believe in the final perseverance of the saints.
We believe that Baptism by immersion to be the gospel mode.
We believe in a general resurrection of those bodies and a final judgement of the just and unjust.
