BAPTIST CHURCH
"WHAT WE
BELIEVE"
About
God: We believe in the one and only true
living God who is eternally existent in three persons: Father,
Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit.
We believe God is the
Creator and Sustainer of all creation.
We believe God
the Son (Jesus) is the promised Savior of the world, who was
born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit, sent to reveal
God the Father to all mankind. We believe Jesus lived a
sinless life on earth, died on a cross to redeem mankind from
sin.
We believe in Jesus bodily resurrection from the
grave, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His
personal return to receive His church.
We believe God
the Holy Spirit, to be the third person in the Trinity sent
from God to indwell all believers, to convict the world of
sin, to teach, to guide, to strengthen and perfect every
believer.
About the
Bible: We believe the Bible to be
the God breathed inspired word of God. We believe it is
infallible and without error. We affirm that the sixty-six
books of the Bible to be the only inspired God breeathed word
of God.
About
Man: We believe that man was created in the image of
God at creation, but sinned. From that time on all men have
been born into sin needing a Savior, Jesus
Christ.
About Salvation: We believe
that salvation is when a sinner repents of sin, turns to Jesus
Christ by faith alone, trusting Him for salvation.
We
believe faith in Jesus Christ as a n atonement for sins and
Lord of life to be the only way to
salvation.
About the Church: We believe
the church to be a body of baptized believers in
Christ.
We believe all believers should be connected in
membership to a local body whereby they worship and serve the
one true living God. We believe the members of a local body
are to practice regular observance of communion (Lord's
Supper) and to always be ready to share his
faith.
Lastly, we believe giving of tithes and
offerings to be God's designed way to support His
church.
