-
It is not
Protestant, unionistic, nor interdenominational. It is separate from all
-isms of all kinds.
-
We believe the
Bible to be the inspired Word of God without error as originally written.
-
We believe the
Genesis account of creation and the fall of man.
-
We believe
that we are saved by grace through faith and without works on the part of
man.
-
We believe
that repentance and faith are inseparable graces and that all who do not
repent and believe are lost.
-
We believe in
the eternal security of the believer.
-
We believe
that after one is saved that he or she should be scripturally baptized and
be a member of a sound New Testament Baptist Church.
-
We believe
that Jesus Christ organized a church while here on earth during His personal
ministry (before Pentecost) and that He gave that church a commission, Matt
28:19-20.
-
We believe
that there are two church ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism
is the immersion of a saved person in water upon the authority of a true
Baptist church.
-
We believe
that the Lord’s Supper is restricted to each local church and that the
elements are unleavened bread and fruit of the vine.
-
We believe
that the church is local, visible and that she has the Bible for her one and
only and all sufficient rule of faith and practice and that the decisions of
a church are final and that no other church or organization of any kind has
any right to interfere with her decisions.
-
We do not
believe there is any such thing as an “invisible” or “universal” church.
-
We believe
that the Scriptural way to finance the Lord’s work is by the tithe’s and
offerings.
-
We believe
that each church can give her mission money where she chooses to do so and
without interference.
-
We do not
believe that mission’s money should be used to support unsound missionaries
or unsound seminaries or unsound colleges.
-
We believe
that all churches should be missionary. We believe that the ordaining of
preachers is to be done by a local church and not a mission or association,
etc.
-
We believe in
the sovereignty of God, in foreknowledge, predestination, election,
effectual calling, justification, and glorification and that whosoever will
come and that these do not contradict each other.
-
We believe
that God calls only men to preach.
-
We believe in
the premillenial second coming of Christ.
-
We believe
that Heaven is a real place and that Hell is a real place.
-
We believe in
the Trinity of God and that the Devil is limited, and that there will be two
resurrections, one for the saved and one for the lost.
