- 3. We must believe in the true God
- 4. God is not a Trinity of persons, but One God
- 5. Jesus Christ – Son of God by begettal, Son of man by birth
- 6. The Holy Spirit not a person, but the effluence proceeding from God.
- 7. The nature of man – mortal, a creature of the dust.

- 9. In death man is unconscious

- 16. The soul not immortal, but is the mortal, bodily being called man
- 17. Many learned men deny the immortality of the soul
- 18. The spirit of man not an immortal entity, but the word is used for life, mind and disposition
- 19. Immortality is God’s holy nature; the word “immortal” is never applied to man in his present state
- 20. Eternal life is not a present actual possession, but is promised to the righteous only
- 21. The wicked will not be preserved alive in torture, but will be destroyed
- 22. Hell as employed in the Bible does not mean a place of eternal torture, but the grave and Gehenna

Part Two:
- 24. God has promised to bless and fill the earth with His glory
