Salvation from Hell by God's Grace through true repentance and a heart-felt belief in Jesus Christ, the resurrected Son of God
Romans 10:9-13; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:1-10
Baptism (by immersion--the only Biblical way) into a New Testament church
Matthew 3:13-15; Luke 7:30; Acts 2:38-47 and Romans 6:1-11
Faithful service (obedience to God), which means we are to study God's Word and live by It's teachings
Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:22-25; 2 Peter 1:3-8; 1 John (the entire epistle); Matthew 25:14-23; Philippians 2:12-13; 1 Peter 1:3-9 (James 2:26) and 1 Peter 1:17
Closed communion--each local church observes the Supper in Its own capacity; that is, with Its own members
Acts 2:41-42; 1 Corinthians 11:18-34
Continued existence of true New Testament churches since Christ founded His church during His earthly ministry
Matthew 16:18; Matthew 28:20
