PRINCIPLES OF FAITH OF THE SANDY CREEK ASSOCIATION - 1816
1. We believe that there is only one true and living God; the Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost. equal in essence, power and glory; and yet there are not three Gods but one
God.
2. That Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the Word of God, and only
rule of faith and practice.
3. That Adam fell from his original state of purity, and that his sin is imputed to his
posterity; that human nature is corrupt, and that man, of his own free will and
ability, is impotent to regain the state in which he was primarily place.
4. We believe in election from eternity, effectual calling by the Holy Spirit, and
justification in his sight only by imputation of Christ righteousness. And we believe
that they who are thus elected, effectually called, and justified, will perservere
through grace to the end, that none of them be lost.
5. We believe that there will be a resurrection from the dead, and a general
judgment, and that the happiness of the righteous and punishment of the wicked
will be eternal.
6. The visible Church of Christ is a congregation of faithful persons, who have
obtained fellowship with each other, and have given themselves up to the Lord and
one another; having agreed to keep up a godly discipline, according to the rules of
the Gospel.
7. That Jesus Christ is the great head of the church and that the government thereof
is with the body.
8. That baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances of the Lord, and to be
continued by his church until his second coming.
9. That true believers are the only fit subjects of baptism; and that immersion is the
only mode.
10. That the church has no right to admit any but regular baptized church
members to communion at the Lord's table.
