We believe that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ into the world, conceived of the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, unchangeably sinless, both God and man, born under the Law, to live a perfect life of righteousness on behalf of His people. The Spirit of God regenerates the elect sinners, drawing them irresistibly to Himself by giving the gifts of faith in Christ the Savior and repentance towards God.

We believe that God calls to Himself the elect in all ages. He justifies them solely on account of the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ, which they receive through faith alone.
This faith must always be accompanied by works, though these works do not merit salvation in any way. We believe that those people whom God calls, regenerates, and justifies will believe the gospel, repent of their sins, and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Sovereign Lord.
His grace causes them to persevere in holiness by growing in sanctification and the putting off of sin by the Holy Spirit and never finally falling away. The ordinances have no saving merit for they are emblems and types of spiritual realities, not the realities themselves. We believe that the local church is under the authority of Christ alone who rules through His Word and is governed by a plurality of men called elders who shepherd the church.
The communion of saints, however, requires recognition of and fellowship with other churches. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ shall come again to raise the dead, both the righteous and the unrighteous. God We believe in the one true and living God, eternally existing in three Persons: Here is a sword-wielding woman mounted on a gigantic bronze bear, and a cartwheel-sized calendar stone made by the Aztecs an anachronism which has baffled historians, according to the museum-toned captions.
Here are hieratic stone warriors and rusting scimitars, brine-damaged sphinxes and a magnificent carving of three-headed Cerberus. Golden discs and silver tablets glow in spotlit vitrines, their inscriptions — and even the language in which they are written — mysterious. Hirst has imagined the fabled shield of Achilles, lost for millennia, and invented a whole sequence of ancient currencies.
There are strange new abstract forms, their meaning unknown yet somehow latent in these enticing coinages. One wunderkammer contains enigmatic bronze oblongs conflating hints of oxen and Celtic crosses; another holds the tragically hunched figure of a beast of burden, as if Hirst was defying his more conservative critics by becoming an old-fashioned sculptor. Sometimes the object may be familiar — a pharaonic bust, say, only marginally adapted — and sometimes utterly implausible, like the horned skull of a unicorn.
Each is exquisitely made, and intended to inspire the awe and wonder and shock of ancient civilisations. It gradually becomes apparent that this is not just a spectacular combination of storytelling, visual invention and slow-building humour, but a meditation on belief and truth. Some visitors were clearly persuaded by all this fake antiquity, the day I was there, and then enjoyed the revelation of having been gulled. And this despite innumerable clues: His rhinoceros , conflated with hints of Shakespeare and the Elephant Man, aptly makes the figure of Proteus.
But those weird proportions in fact belong to Barbie. The joke turns serious. Our belief in mermaids, for instance, which endured despite the discovery of the narwhal with its spiralling horn.
