THE SOUTH CHURCH. 



FOEMULAS OF THE CHUROn. 



To set forth in order, a declaration of those things which are most surely lK'li»;ved 

 among us. — Liike 1 : 1. 



So the service of the house of the Lord was set in order.— if Chron. 2U : .'>.',. 



CONFESSION OF FAITH. 



Hold fast the form of sound words.— 2 Tim. 1 : 13. 



We, as a church, believe in one only living and true God, in- 

 finite and eternal, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 



We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testa- 

 ments, as the inspired record of God's revelation of Himself in 

 the redemption of the world, and as our only perfect rule of 

 faith and practice. 



We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven 

 and earth, Who governs the worlds in wisdom, justice, and 

 love. 



We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ ; Who in the beginning 

 was with God and Who was God : Who took upon Him our 

 humanity and by His sufferings and death made atonement for 

 the sins of the world, that all who repent and believe in Him 

 may be pardoned and justified : Who rose from the dead and 

 ascended into heaven and liveth forevermore. 



We beheve in the Holy Spirit, by Whom alone the fallen 

 race of man can be renewed in heart, delivered from sin, and 

 perfected in hohness. to be kept by the power of God through 

 faith unto salvation. 



We believe in the moral responsibility of man : that although 

 saved by grace yet the law of God is binding upon all, and the 

 fruits of regeneration will be manifest in a humble, holy, and 

 righteous life. 



We believe in the visible Church, the ordinances of which are 

 Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
