Siyakholwa ngenhliziyo yenke kuNkulunkulu omthathu emnye, uYise, neNdodana kanye noMoya oNgwcele. Ozambulile eZwini lakhe. Seyakholwa uJesu Kristu uyena kuphela oyinhloko yeBandla nokuthi uyalibusa ngeZwi lakhe nangoMoya wakhe. Siyamkela ngenhliziyo yethu yonke nangonembeza omhle iZimvume ezintathu Zenkolo ezamiswa yiSynod laseDordrercht ngeminyaka yawo 1618-1619, kanye neKhathekizimu laseHeidelberg nemvume yenkolo yase Belgic, ngisho nesivumo seDordretcht. Siyathembisa ukugcina onke lamaqiniso ngokukholwa ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele nangokweZwi likaSimakade.
Siyamukela uhlelo lokuphatha zinkonzo nje ngokuba zaguqulwa (ammended) yiSynod eliphezulu lamaBandla eNguquko aseNingizimu ye Afrika

Bonke abamukelile lokhu kukholwa ngokusebenza komusa kaMoya oNgcwele, nabafuna ukugcina lokhu kukholwa kanye nathi ngenhliyo epheleleyo babizelwa ebunyeni baleliBandla.

Kwanga iNkosi ngokumusa wayo ingenza ukuba abaningi bamukele iZwi ngokusebenza kukaMoya oNgcwele. Kwanga bonke abakhethiweyo bebizwe njengamakholwa eqiniso futhi bahlanyele eBandleni elilodwa ngobunye.
