Isn't it obvious? :)

1) Inerrancy of the Scriptures
2) The virgin birth and the deity of Jesus
3) The doctrine of substitutionary atonement through God's grace and human faith
4) The bodily resurrection of Jesus
5) The authenticity of Christ's miracles (or, alternatively, his premillennial second coming)

These have been "the fundamentals" (or essentials) for more than a century.

Personally, I believe you can get the essentials from the Apostle's Creed.

I believe one more essential to be that our salvation is not a one time event, but something that we must live out throughout our lives.

I would argue that sacred worth is a value, not a belief. I really dislike the word belief. It's currency has been cheapened -- I do believe I'll have red beans and rice for dinner.

I like saying "I will place all of my hope, trust and faith in..." instead of "I believe."
