1. We believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood for the remission of sins that are past; and for there generation of penitent sinners, and for salvation from sin and from sinning (Rom. 3: 25; 1 John 3: 5-10; Eph. 2: 1-10).

2. We believe, teach and firmly maintain the Scriptural doctrine of justification by faith alone (Rom 5 : 1).

3. We believe also that Jesus Christ shed His blood for the complete cleansing of the justified believer from all indwelling sin, and from its pollution subsequent to regeneration (I John 1: 7-9).

4. We believe also that entire sanctification is an instantaneous, definite, second work of grace, obtainable by faith on the part of the fully justified believer (John 15: 2; Acts 26: 18).

5. We believe also that the Pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of appropriating faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer, and that the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Luke 11:13; Acts 1: 5; 2:1-4; 8: 17; 10: 44-46; 19: 6).

6. We believe also in divine healing as in the atonement (Isa. 53: 4, 5; Matt. 8: 16, 17; Mark 16: 14-18; James 5:14-16; Ex. 15: 26)

7. We believe in the imminent, personal, premillennial second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (I Thes. 4: 15-18; 1; Titus 2 :13; 2 Peter 3 :1-4; Matt. 24 -.29-44), and we love and wait for His appearing (2 Tim. 4: 8).

8. The Pentecostal Holiness Church is utterly opposed to the teaching of the so-called Christian Scientists, Spiritualists, Unitarians, Universalists and Mormons. We deny, as false and unscriptural, Seventh-Day Adventism, annihilation of the wicked, conditional immortality, antinomianism, absolute perfection, so-called come-outism, the so-called resurrection life, the so-called redemption or glorification of the body in this life, the doctrine of the restitution of all things, as set forth in millennial-dawnism, and the teaching that we are not born of God until we are sanctified wholly.

9. The Lord says, "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled," and The Pentecostal Holiness Church firmly holds that there are certain relations between husband and wife which are strictly private according to the Word of God, and into this sacred privacy no one has any right to inquire (Heb. 13: 4; 1 Cor. 7:1-5).

10. No subsequent General Convention shall have authority to change the Basis of Union, until the proposed .change has been submitted to each local church, and the majority voting favorable to the change.
