Baptist Doctrine

We believe in the Triune God, the eternally self-existent, “I AM,” the creator of heaven and earth, great Redeemer of mankind manifest in three: Almighty Father, Divine Son, and Holy Ghost.

[1 John 5:6; Genesis 1:1, 4:24; Matthew 10:20; 2 Corinthians 3:1-17]

 

We believe in the Bible as the inspired and infallible word of God, inerrant in the original autographs and the only rule of faith, the guide for practice and indisputable, ultimate authority of revelation of God, His will, and His way,

[2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalms 19:7-11; 2 Peter 1:16-22]

We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, the incarnation of the father, born of a virgin, of the very God for whom and by whom all things were created.

[1 John 1:1-10]

 

We believe in the substitutionary atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, that he, by the grace of God, taste death for every man and that all must be born again through faith in Him or are forever lost. Redemption is accomplished by the cross and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, by faith, and by believing in our hearts that God raised him from the dead. Salvation is by Jesus Christ and none other for God has highly exalted him and given him a name, which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those in heaven end of those on earth end of those under the earth and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God, the father.

[Hebrews 2:9; John 3:1-18, 6:44-49; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:9, Philippians 2:9-11]

We believe in the physical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, that he ascended badly into heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father as our mediator, high priest, and advocate.

[Acts 3:12-26; John 20; Hebrews 9:24; 2 Corinthians 15:12-28]

 

We believe in water baptism and holy communion, The Lord’s Supper, as ordinances of the church to be observed as public declaration of salvation through Jesus and in commemoration of his death, burial, and resurrection in victory over Satan, death, hell, and the grave.

 

We believe in the personal, visible, imminent return of Jesus Christ both for His saints and with His saints in reign to victory.

[1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-55; Revelation 19:19-20, 20:1-6]

 

We believe in the authority of the believer over the enemy, Satan, and the victory to be gained by the exercise of that authority in the areas of deliverance, healing, and holiness.

[Ephesians 1:20-23, 6:10-17]

 

We believe in the personality and reality of Satan as the enemy of the Kingdom of God and the Saints of the Lord, and in his ultimate defeat by the Lord Jesus Christ and potential defeat in the lives of spirit-filled believers clothed in the armor of God.

[Revelation 12:9-10; Matthew 4:2-11; Isaiah 14:12-17; John 8]

 

We believe in the autonomy of the local church as an independent entity with regard to matters of government, policy operation, and discipline.

[1 Corinthians 5:5; 2 Thessalonians 3:5, 14-15; Acts 6:35, 11:11, 14:23; Titus 1:5]
