- The Terms Of Salvation
– The conditions of salvation are: (a) Repentance or sincere sorrow for sin and hearty renunciation of it. (b) Faith or the unreserved committal of one´s self to Christ as Savior and Lord with purpose to love and obey Him in all things. In the exercise of saving faith, the soul is renewed by the Holy Spirit, freed from the dominion of sin, and becomes a child of God. Continuance in faith and obedience until death.
- Election
– God determined from the beginning to save all who should comply with the conditions of salvation. Hence, by faith in Christ, men become His elect.
- Freedom Of The Will
– The human will is free and self-controlled having power to yield to the influence of the truth and the Spirit or to resist them and perish.

- Tithing
– God commanded tithes and offerings in the Old Testament; Jesus Christ endorsed it in the Gospel (Matthew 23:23); and the apostle Paul said, “Upon the first day of the week let everyone of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him.” (1 Corinthians 16:2).
- The Christian Sabbath
– The divine law requires that one day in seven be set apart from secular employments and amusements for rest, worship, holy works and activities, and for personal communion with God.
- Resurrection, Judgment & Final Retribution
– The Scriptures teach the resurrection of all men at the last day. They that have trusted Christ as their Saviour will come forth to the resurrection of life, and they that have rejected Christ into the resurrection of damnation; then the wicked will “go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
