1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son,
   Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
   
    
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins,
    and not for Adam's transgression.
   
    
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind
   may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
   
    
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the
   Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second,
    Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins;
    fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   
    
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by
   the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the
   Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
   
    
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive
   Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
   
    
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions,
    healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
   
    
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is
   translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon
   to be the word of God.
   
    
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now
   reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and
   important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
   
    
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration
    of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built
    upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally
    upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
    
     
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according
     to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the
    same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
    
     
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and
     magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
    
     
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous,
    and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow
     the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things,
    we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all
     things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy,
     we seek after these things.
