Of the Holy Spirit:

1.The Holy Spirit is a divine person; equal with God the Father and God the Son, and of the same nature.
2.The Holy Spirit seals, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, and helps the believers.
3.The Holy Spirit convicts of sin and restrains the evil one until God's purpose is fulfilled.

Of the Devil or Satan:

1.Satan was once a Heavenly being
2.He is the enmy of God
3.He is destined to final defeat at the hands of God's own Son

Of Creation:

1.Man was created in God's own image and after his own likeness
2.All living things were created directly by God and not by any form of evolution or evolutionary change

2.Through Christ's perfect sacrifice he has created a means by which we may go to Heaven

Of Grace in the New Creation:
