Things not covered in the General and sub-topical statements.
Angels
Holy Angels.Angels are created beings and are therefore not to be worshiped. Although they are a higher order of creation than man, they are created to serve God and to worship Him (Luke 2:9-14; Hebrews 1:6-7, 14; 2:6-7; Revelation 5:11-14; 19:10; 22:9).
Demons:
Fallen Angels, Satan is a created angel and the author of sin. He incurred the judgment of God by rebelling against his Creator (Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:11-19), by taking numerous angels with him in his fall (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 12:1-14), and by introducing sin into the human race by his temptation of Eve (Genesis 3:1-15).
Lucifer-Satan-the Devil:
Satan is the open and declared enemy of God and man (Isaiah 14:13-14; Matthew 4:1-11; Revelation 12:9-10); that he is the prince of this world, who has been defeated through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 16:20); and that he shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire (Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:11-19; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10).
Jesus Christ, the Divine Son of Man, is God's Only Appointed Savior of Men
“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world,” (1 John 4:14). “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved,” (John 3:16-17). “And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world,” (John 4:42).
“For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world,” (John 6:33). “Then Jesus spake again saying, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life,”” (John 8:12). “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world,” (John 9:5).
“And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world,” (John 12:47). “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation,” (2 Cor. 5:19).
Scripture Alone
That Scripture alone (the 39 books of the OT and the 27 books of the NT) is the sole rule and standard for faith and practice before God. (Luke 16:29, 31; 24:27, 44; 2 Tim. 3:15-16; John 5:46-47)
Christ Alone
That Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. (Isa. 42:1; 1 Peter 1:19-20; Acts 3:22; Heb. 5:5-6; Psa. 2:6; Luke 1:33; Eph. 1:22-23; Heb. 1:2; Acts 17:31; Isa. 53:10; John 17:6; Rom. 8:30)
Grace Alone
That by God’s good pleasure alone, some men are saved to the praise of Christ’s glorious grace; others are left in their sin to their just condemnation, to the praise of His glorious justice. (1 Tim. 5:21; Matt. 25:34; Eph. 1:5-6; Rom. 9:22-23; Jude 1:4)
Faith Alone
That grace of faith where people are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls, is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts, and is ordinarily worked by the ministry of the preached Word. (2 Cor. 4:13; Eph. 2:8; Rom. 10:14, 17; Luke 17:5; 1 Peter 2:2; Acts 20:32)
Glory of God Alone
Knowing that man’s chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him forever, all holy duties Christians accomplish are exercised for God’s glory, by which He may pursue His own glory in us to the uttermost. (Rom. 11:36; 1 Cor. 10:31; Psa. 73:24-28)
“The temptation to modify the teachings of Christ with the hope that larger numbers may "accept" Him is cruelly strong in this day of speed, size, noise and crowds. But can only result in a weak & ineffective Christianity in this generation, and death & desolation in the next.” - A.W. Tozer
“I’m not afraid of the devil. The devil can handle me – he’s got judo I never heard of. But he can’t handle the One to whom I’m joined; he can’t handle the One to whom I’m united; he can’t handle the One whose nature dwells in my nature.” - A.W. Tozer
“We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.” - A.W. Tozer
“The essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.” - C.S. Lewis
“It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves; and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts… It is not the measure of faith, but the sincerity of faith, which is the point to be considered.” - Charles Haddon Spurgeon
”You will find all true theology summed up in these two short sentences: Salvation is all of the grace of God. Damnation is all of the will of man.” - Charles Haddon Spurgeon
”It is not thy hold on Christ that saves thee; it is Christ. It is not thy joy in Christ that saves thee; it is Christ. It is not even thy faith in Christ, though that be the instrument; it is Christ's blood and merit.” - Charles Haddon Spurgeon

THIS has been a detailed break-down of Biblical Principles and Statement of Faith through Biblical Doctrine from The Word of God. In and through all things we do, we must LOVE each other and LOVE the Truth even more. We must pray more and more for each other and for those that are lost and have been deceived by this world. We are not to hate those that are lost and have been hurt by others. We are to show them the same LOVE that God showed us through His Holy Son, Yeshua Jesus Christ.
