I am an Independent Fundament Baptist and here is a Statement of Faith from an IFB site.

Please note that this may not be exactly the same Statement of Faith for all IFB churches, but they are basically the same in their "fundamental" doctrines...i.e. God, Bible, Trinity, Satan, etc.

Here is the link to the site:
