living
and true God, everlasting, without body, parts, or passions; of
infinite
power, wisdom, and goodness; the maker and preserver of all things both
visible and invisible. And in unity of this Godhead there be three
Persons,
of one substance, power, and eternity; the Father, the Son, and the
Holy
Ghost.

1. THE ETERNAL
GODHEAD:
WE BELIEVE in the unity of the true and living God who is the eternal,
self-existent one, who has revealed himself as one being in three
persons
- Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and who is the Creator and preserver of
things visible and invisible - Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Matthew
28:19;
Genesis 1:1; Psalm 86:9-10; Isaiah 43:10-11; John 1:1-3.

The
Nature and Unity of the Godhead
There
is one God Who is eternal personal Spirit. He is infinite in power,
wisdom,
holiness and love. He is Triune in essential being and revealed to us
as
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Orthodox
We believe that
God is
One in substance and Triune in persons. We worship One God in
Trinity,
and Trinity in Unity, neither confusing the persons nor dividing the
substance.
Creation is the work in time of the Blessed Trinity. The world is not
self-created,
neither has it existed from eternity, but it is the product of the
wisdom,
the power, and the will of the One God in Trinity. God the Father is
the
prime cause of creation and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit took
part
in creation, God the Son perfecting creation and God the Holy Spirit
vivifying
creation.

2. We believe that
there
is only one God who is infinitely perfect, the creator, preserver, and
governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious
worship.

HouseThe One True
God
The One true God has
revealed
Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed "I AM"; and has
further
revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and
association.
i.e.. as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29;
Isaiah
43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Galatians 3:20).
Presbyterian
(Westminster
Confession of Faith) Chapter II. Of God, and of the Holy Trinity.
I. There is but one
only
living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most
pure
spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions, immutable,
immense,
eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free,
most
absolute, working all things according to the counsel of his own
immutable
and most righteous will, for his won glory, most loving, gracious,
merciful,
long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity,
transgression,
and sin; the rewarder of them that diligently seek him; and withal most
just and terrible in his judgments; hating all sin; and who will by no
means clear the guilty.
II. God hath all
life, glory,
goodness, blessedness, in and of himself; and is alone in and unto
himself
all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which he hath
made,
nor deriving any glory from them, but only manifesting his own glory
in,
by, unto, and upon them; he is the alone foundation of all being, of
whom,
through whom, and to whom, are all things; and hath most sovereign
dominion
over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them, whatsoever himself
pleaseth.
In his sight all things are open and manifest; his knowledge is
infinite,
infallible, and independent upon the creature; so as nothing is to him
contingent or uncertain. He is most holy in all his counsels, in all
his
works, and in all his commands. To him is due from angels and men, and
every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience he is
pleased
to require of them.
III. In the unity
of the
Godhead there be three Persons of one substance, power, and eternity:
God
the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. The Father is of none,
neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternal begotten of the
Father;
the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.
Scripture Union
(a) God and the
human
race
We hold that the
Lord our
God is one:
Father, Son and Holy
Spirit,
and that he fulfils his sovereign purposes
- in creation,
revelation,
redemption, judgement, and the coming of
his kingdom -
by calling out from
the
world a people united to himself and to each
other in love.
