6) We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and in his ascension to the right hand of the Father.

7) We believe that we are justi fi ed of sin only by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, through the action of the Holy Spirit.

8) The Christian life as a result of the redeeming work of God, as the formation of the image (character) of Christ in those who believe, who expresses himself as the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and visibly in society through ethical conduct in the light of the precepts of the New Testament.

9) We believe in a single holy and universal church, which is the body of Christ, being himself the edifier and Head, to which all those who believe and who, on earth, manifest the presence of Jesus Christ through the Christian communities belong. local

10) We believe in the Kingdom of God as the dominion of God, which was inaugurated and manifested in history through Jesus and now in the church, which will be consummated in the Millennium and in eternity when the enemies of God are fi nally and fi nally defeated and placed under the feet of Jesus Christ, for the glory of God the Father.

11) We believe in the mission of the Church as an extension of the mission of Jesus Christ, that is, "to take the whole gospel to all men", preaching the Gospel and making disciples of all nations so that all may participate in the Kingdom of God.

12) We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ with a glorified body; the resurrection of the dead, the eternal life of the saved and the condemnation of all those who did not believe in Jesus Christ as Savior; and the consummation of the eternal Kingdom of God.
