We hold the following statement of faith
to be a summary of the doctrine that is believed, preached, and practiced; and
aligns itself with the word of God for its authority.
(Click on the each one of the point titles to hear a message associated with each doctrine.)
I. OF THE SCRIPTURES
We believe
the Holy Bible was written by men supernaturally inspired; that it has truth for
its matter without any admixture of error; that it is and shall remain to the
end of the age, the only complete and final revelation of the will of God to
man; and that it is the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard
by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried.
We believe the Authorized (King James) Version Old and New Testaments are the
Word of God kept intact for English-speaking peoples by way of God's divine
providence and work of preservation; and that the Authorized Version translators
were not "inspired", but were merely God's instruments used to
preserve His words for English-speaking peoples.
A. By "Holy Bible" we mean that collection of sixty-six books, from
Genesis to Revelation, which, as originally written and providentially
preserved, does not only contain and convey the Word of God, but is the very
Word of God.
B. By "inspiration" we mean that the books of the Bible were written
by holy men of God as they were moved by the Holy Ghost in such a definite way
that their writings were supernaturally and verbally inspired and free from
error, as no other writings have ever been or ever will be inspired.
C. By "providentially preserved" we mean that God through the ages
has, in His divine providence, preserved the very words that He inspired; that
the Hebrew Old Testament text, as found in the Traditional Masoretic Text, and
the Greek New Testament text as found in the Textus Receptus, are indeed the
products of God's providential preservation, and are together the complete,
preserved, inerrant Word of God.
Dt 4:2; Ps 12:6-7; Ps 19:7-11; Ps 119:89,105,130,160; Isa 8:20; Isa 40:8; Jer
23:29; Ezk 12:25; Mt 5:17-18; Mt 22:29; Lk 24:44-45; Jn 12:48; Jn 17:17; Jn
20:30-31; Rom 3:4; Rom 15:4; Eph 6:17; II Tim 3:16-17; Heb 4:12; I Pt 1:23-25;
II Pt 1:19-21; Rev 22:18-19.
II. OF THE TRUE GOD
We believe
there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent
Spirit, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth, inexpressibly glorious
in holiness and worthy of all possible honor, confidence and love; and that in
the unity of the Godhead there are three persons: the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct, but
harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.
Ex 20:2-3; Ex 15:11; II Sam 7:22; Ps 83:18; Ps 90:2; Ps 147:5; Isa 40:28; Isa
45:5-6; Jer 10:10; Mt 28:18; Mk 12:30; Jn 1:1-2,14; Jn 4:24; Jn 14:7-11; Jn
17:5; Rom 11:33; I Cor 8:6; I Cor 12:4-6; Phlp 2:5-6; Col 2:9; I Tim 1:17; I Tim
3:16; I Tim 6:13-16; I Jn 5:7; Rev 1:8.
III. OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe
the Holy Spirit is a divine Person, equal with God the Father and God the Son,
and of the same nature; that He was active in the creation; that in His relation
to the unbelieving world, the Holy Spirit restrains the evil one until God's
purpose is fulfilled; that the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, of judgment, and of
righteousness; that He is the witness of and guide into all truth; that He shall
not speak of nor exalt Himself, but will glorify the Son of God; that the Holy
Spirit is the agent in the New Birth; and that He seals, endues, comforts,
guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, and helps the believer.
Gen 1:1-3; II Chr 7:1-3; Neh 9:20,30; Job 33:4; Ps 139:7; Isa 11:1-2; Isa 59:19;
Ezk 36:26-27; Zec 4:6; Mt 12:31; Lk 1:35; Lk 24:49; Jn 3:5-6; Jn 14:16-17,26; Jn
15:26; Jn 16:7-11,13-14; Acts 1:8; Acts 5:30-32; Acts 6:5; Acts 13:2; Rom
8:9,14-16,26-27; I Cor 3:16; Gal 5:22-23; Eph 3:16; Eph 4:30; I Pt 1:2; I Jn
4:13; Rev 22:17.
IV. OF THE DEVIL, OR SATAN
We believe
Satan was once holy, and enjoyed heavenly honors, but through pride and ambition
to be as the Almighty, he fell and drew after him a host of angels; that Satan
is now the malignant prince of the power of the air, and the unholy god of this
world; that he is mankind's great tempter, the enemy of God and His Christ, the
accuser of the saints, the author of all false religions, the chief power behind
the present apostasy; and that he is the lord of the antichrist, and the author
of all the powers of darkness - destined, however, to final defeat at the hands
of God's own Son, and to the judgment of an eternal justice in the Lake of Fire,
a place prepared for him and his angels.
Gen 3:14-15; Job 2:2; Isa 14:12-17; Ezk 28:14-19; Zec 3:1; Mt 4:1-11; Mt
13:19,38-39; Mt 25:41; Jn 8:44; Jn 13:2; Jn 14:30; II Cor 4:3-4; II Cor
11:13-15; Eph 2:2; Eph 6:11-12; I Ths 3:5; II Ths 2:7-10; Heb 2:14; I Pt 5:8; II
Pt 2:4; I Jn 2:22; Jn 4:3; II Jn 7; Jude 6; Rev 9:11; Rev 12:7-10; Rev
20:1-3,7-10.
V. OF CREATION
We believe
the Genesis account of creation; that the Genesis creation record is to be
accepted literally, and not allegorically or figuratively; that man was created
directly in God's own image and after His own likeness; that by God's own
handiwork, in the space of six twenty-four hour days, were all things created
that are in heaven and that are in the earth, visible and invisible; that
creation was not a matter of evolution or evolutionary change of species, or
development through interminable periods of time from lower to higher forms; and
that all animal and vegetable life was made directly, and God's established law
was that they should bring forth only after their kind.
Gen 1:1-2:3; Gen 2:21-23; Gen 5:1-2; Ex 20:11; I Chr 16:26; Neh 9:6; Job 12:7-9;
Job 38:4-11; Ps 8:3-6; Ps 19:1; Ps 100:3; Ps 102:25; Prov 30:4; Isa 42:5; Isa
45:11-12,18; Jer 10:12; Jer 32:17; Jn 1:1-3; Acts 4:24; Acts 17:24-26; Rom 1:20;
Col 1:16-17; Heb 11:3; Rev 4:11; Rev 10:5-6.
VI. OF THE FALL OF MAN
We believe man was created in innocence under the law of his Maker, but by
voluntary transgression fell from his sinless and happy state; and that by the
sin of one man all men are now sinners, not by constraint, but by choice, and
therefore all are under just condemnation without defense or excuse.
Gen 3:1-13,16-24; Job 15:16; Ps 14:2-3; Ps 51:5; Prov 20:9; Eccl 7:20; Isa 53:6;
Jer 16:12; Jer 17:9; Ezk 18:4; Mt 7:21-23; Mt 23:28; Rom 1:18-20,28-32; Rom 2:1;
Rom 3:10-19,23; Rom 5:12; I Cor 15:21-22; Gal 3:22; Eph 2:1-3; I Tim 2:13-14;
Jms 1:13-15.
VII. OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH
We believe
Jesus Christ, Who was preexistent in the Godhead from eternity-past, was made
flesh when He was begotten of the Holy Ghost in a miraculous manner: born of a
virgin woman, Mary, as no other man was ever born or can ever be born of woman;
and that Jesus Christ is God Incarnate, both the Son of God and God the Son.
Gen 3:15; Ps 2:7; Isa 7:14; Isa 9:6-7; Mt 1:18-25; Mt 16:16; Mk 1:1; Lk 1:30-35;
Jn 1:1-2,14; Jn 8:58; Jn 12:45; Jn 17:5; Rom 8:3; I Cor 15:47; Gal 4:4; Phlp
2:5-8; Col 2:9; I Tim 3:16; Heb 5:5; Heb 7:3; II Pt 1:16-18; I Jn 4:2; I Jn
5:9,20.
VIII. OF THE ATONEMENT FOR SIN
We believe the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace through the mediatorial
offices of the Son of God, Who by appointment of the Father, freely took upon
Himself the nature of man yet without sin, Who honored the divine law by His
personal obedience, and Who by His death made a full and vicarious atonement for
the sins of mankind, providing redemption through His blood; that without the
shedding of blood is no remission of sin, therefore, the shed blood of Jesus
Christ, that cleanseth man from all sin, was presented in heaven, was sprinkled
on the true mercy seat, and was accepted by God the Father as the atonement for
the sins of the whole world, only becoming efficacious through man's individual
repentance, confession, and faith; that Christ's atonement consisted not in
setting man an example by His death as a martyr, but was the voluntary
substitution of Himself in the sinner's place, the Just dying for the unjust,
Christ the Lord bearing the sins of man in His own body on the tree; and that
after having given Himself for man, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour, and having, in turn, risen from the dead, Christ Jesus is
now seated on the right hand of God, becoming in every way a suitable, a
compassionate, and an all-sufficient Saviour.
Isa 53:4-7,10-12; Lk 19:10; Jn 3:16-17; Acts 15:11; Rom 3:24-25; Rom 5:6-8; I
Cor 15:3; II Cor 5:15,21; Gal 1:4; Eph 5:2; Phlp 2:7-8; Tit 2:14; Heb 1:3; Heb
2:14-17; Heb 7:25; Heb 8:1-2; Heb 9:12-15,22-26; Heb 10:10-12; Heb 12:2; I Pt
1:18-19; I Pt 2:24; I Pt 3:18; I Jn 2:1-2; I Jn 3:5; Rev 1:5.
IX. OF THE RESURRECTION
We believe Jesus Christ rose from the dead bodily the third day, according to
the Scriptures; that the Lord's resurrection was attested to by many infallible
proofs; and that forty days thereafter, He physically ascended back to heaven
assuming His place as man's Advocate with the Father: the faithful High Priest
Who ever liveth to make intercession for mankind.
Mt 16:21; Mt 28:1-15; Mk 16:1-13,19; Lk 24:1-51; Jn 2:19; Jn 20:1-20,24-29; Acts
1:1-3; Acts 2:22-27,29-33; Acts 3:14-15; Acts 4:33; Acts 10:39-41; Acts
13:29-31; Acts 17:2-3,31; Acts 26:22-23; Rom 1:4; Rom 6:9-10; Rom 8:34; Rom
10:9; I Cor 15:3-8; II Cor 4:14; Eph 1:20; Phlp 3:10-11; II Tim 2:8; I Pt
3:21-22; Rev 1:18
X. OF GRACE IN THE NEW CREATION
We believe
sinners must be born again in order to be saved; that the new birth is a new
creation in Christ Jesus; that the new birth is instantaneous and not a process;
that in the new birth the one dead in trespasses and in sins is made a partaker
of the divine nature and receives eternal life, the free gift of God; that the
new creation is brought about in a manner above man's comprehension, and is not
by culture, nor by character, nor by the will of man, but wholly and solely by
the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth, so as to secure
man's voluntary obedience to the gospel; and that proper evidence of the new
birth appears in the holy fruits of repentance, and faith, and newness of life.
Jer 17:7-8; Jn 1:12-13; Jn 3:3,6-7; Jn 5:24; Jn 6:63; Rom 3:24; Rom 5:15; Rom
8:11,32; I Cor 6:9-11; II Cor 5:17-19; II Cor 9:15; Gal 2:20; Gal 4:29; Gal
5:22-24; Gal 6:15; Eph 2:1,5-8,15; Eph 4:24; Eph 5:9-10; Col 2:13; Col 3:1,9-10;
II Tim 2:1; Tit 3:5; Jms 1:18; I Pt 1:23; II Pt 1:4; I Jn 2:29; I Jn 3:8-10; I
Jn 4:7; I Jn 5:1,4,10-12,18,21.
XI. OF THE FREENESS OF SALVATION
We believe in God's electing grace; that the blessings of salvation are made
free to all by the gospel; that it is the immediate duty of all men to accept
salvation by a cordial, penitent, and obedient faith; and that nothing prevents
the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth but his own inherent depravity and
voluntary rejection of the gospel, a rejection which involves the sinner in an
aggravated condemnation.
Isa 55:1; Ezk 33:11; Mt 11:28; Lk 11:10; Jn 3:14-20,36; Jn 4:10; Jn 6:37; Jn
15:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:20-21; Acts 10:34-35; Acts 17:29-31; Rom 5;18; Rom
6:23; Rom 8:29-30; Rom 10:12-13; Eph 2:7-9; Tit 1:1-2; II Pt 3:9; Rev 3:20; Rev
22:17.
XII. OF JUSTIFICATION
We believe
the great gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe in Him is
justification; that justification includes the pardon of sin, and the gift of
eternal life on principles of righteousness; and that justification and its
benefits are bestowed not in consideration of any works of righteousness which
man has done, but rather, God's righteousness is imputed to man solely through
faith in the Redeemer's vicarious shed blood.
Gen 15:6; Job 9:20; Ps 40:2; Isa 53:11; Hbk 2:4; Lk 16:15; Jn 5:24; Acts 13:39;
Rom 1:17; Rom 2:13; Rom 3:24-28; Rom 4:1-9,23-25; Rom 5:1,9; Rom 8:1; I Cor
6:11; Gal 2:16; Gal 3:8-11,24; Phlp 3:9; Tit 3:5-7; Heb 10:38; Heb 11:4; Rev
1:5-6.
XIII. OF REPENTANCE AND FAITH
We believe repentance and faith are solemn obligations, and also inseparable
graces, wrought in the soul of man by the quickening Holy Spirit of God; that
being deeply convicted of his own guilt, danger and helplessness, and of the way
of salvation by Christ, man must turn to God with unfeigned contrition,
confession, and supplication for mercy, while at the same time heartily
believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, openly confessing Him as the only true and
all-sufficient Saviour.
Ps 34:18; Ps 51:1-4; Prov 28:13; Isa 55:6-7; Isa 66:7; Ezk 18:31; Joel 2:12-13;
Mk 1:14-15; Mk 6:12; Lk 12:8; Lk 13:3; Lk 18:13-14; Acts 2:37-38; Acts 3:19;
Acts 8:22-23; Acts 17:29-30; Acts 20:21; Acts 26:18-20; Rom 10:9-11; II Cor
7:10; I Jn 1:8-9.
XIV. OF THE ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE SAINTS
We believe all the Redeemed are kept by the power of God through faith unto
salvation, and are, therefore, secure in Christ; and that eternal security is
synonymous to eternal life, and is a work of God which insures that the gift of
salvation, once received, cannot be lost by any true believer.
Ps 31:23; Ps 37:28; Ps 121:3; Prov 2:8; Isa 46:4; Mt 7:24-25; Jn 3:16; Jn 5:24;
Jn 10:27-29; Jn 17:11; Rom 4:21; Rom 8:15-16,33-39; II Cor 1:21-22; II Cor 5:5;
Eph 1:13-14; Phlp 1:6; II Tim 1:12; II Tim 4:18; I Pt 1:3-5; I Jn 2:19,25; I Jn
3:2; I Jn 4:13; I Jn 5:11-13; Jude 24.
XV. OF THE RETURN OF CHRIST AND RELATED EVENTS
We believe
Jesus Christ will physically return to the earth in like manner as He was seen
to go into heaven: bodily, personally and visibly; that His Second Coming will
be preceded by a chronology of Last Days' events - literal events, beginning
with a pre-tribulational, pre-millennial calling out of all the redeemed: the
Rapture; that the Rapture will terminate the dispensation of the New Testament
Church, and will induce the time of Jacob's Trouble: a seven-year Tribulation
Period and reign of antichrist; that the Tribulation will culminate with
Armageddon: the final terrible event in world history when the Lord Jesus, with
heaven's host, returns victoriously making the kingdoms of this world to become
the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ; that upon the Second Coming of
Christ, the Lord shall reign in righteousness on the earth for one thousand
years, climaxing with the final condemnation of Satan and the last judgment of
Revelation Chapter Twenty; and that, eternally thereafter, the Lord Jesus Christ
shall reign for ever and ever.
Gen 18:25; Isa 11:4-10; Jer 23:5-6; Jer 30:6-10; Dan 7:23-27; Dan 9:24; Dan
12:1; Zech 14:9-11; Mt 24:3-31,36-51; Mt 25:31-33; Mt 26:64; Jn 5:22; Jn 14:2-4;
Acts 1:9-11; I Cor 15:22-26,48-54; Phlp 3:20-21; I Ths 4:15-17; I Ths 5:1-9; II
Tim 4:1; Tit 2:13; Heb 9:28; Heb 10:37; II Pt 3:10-13; Jude 14-15; Rev 1:17; Rev
16:16; Rev 20:1-15; Rev 22:20.
XVI. OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED
We believe there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and
the wicked; that only such as through faith are justified in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and sanctified by the Spirit of God, are truly righteous in
His esteem, and that all such as continue in impenitence and unbelief are in
God's sight wicked and under the curse; and that among men both in and after
death there exists this great eternal distinction: the everlasting bliss of the
saved, and the everlasting, conscious suffering of the lost.
Gen 18:23,25; Ps 11:5-7; Prov 10:6-7,10; Prov 11:31; Prov 14:32; Mal 4:1-2; Mt
7:13-14; Mt 13:38,47-48; Mt 25:32-34,41; Lk 16:25; Jn 3:18-21,36; Jn 12:25; Rom
1:17-18; Rom 2:9-11; Rom 5:18; Rom 6:16-18; Rom 7:5-6; I Cor 6:9-11; I Cor
15:22; Gal 3:10-11; II Pt 3:7; I Jn 2:29; I Jn 3:7-10; I Jn 5:10-12,18-19.
XVII. OF SEPARATION
We believe
one distinguishing mark of biblical Christianity is a separation from worldly
conduct, interests, philosophies, and unions; that separation from the worldly
unto the godly should be maintained in two primary realms: the personal and the
ecclesiastical; that personal separation is the believer's responsibility to
live circumspectly: denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, living soberly,
righteously, and godly in this present world; and that ecclesiastical separation
is a vigilant adherence to holiness in all matters related to the church.
Ezra 10:11-12; Ps 1:1; Prov 4:14; Prov 13:20; Prov 24:1; Isa 52:11; Ezek 44:23;
Amos 3:3; Mt 5:13,16; Jn 15:19; Acts 2:40; Rom 8:1; I Cor 6:19-20; II Cor 5:17;
II Cor 6:14-18; Gal 5:16; Eph 5:11,13-15; I Ths 4:3-5; I Ths 5:22; II Ths 3:6;
Tit 2:11-12; Jms 4:4,8; I Pt 2:11-12; I Pt 4:1-4; I Jn 2:6,15-16.
XVIII. OF THE CHURCH
We believe
the New Testament church is a local, visible, autonomous assembly; that Jesus
Christ established His Church during His earthly ministry, prior to the events
of Acts Chapter Two and the Day of Pentecost; that a Baptist church is a
congregation of baptized believers associated by a covenant of faith and
fellowship of the gospel, said church being the citadel and propagator of the
divine and eternal grace; that the church alone is authorized to administer and
observe the ordinances of Christ; that all church members, ministries, and
polities are to be subject to the Lordship of Christ, exercising the gifts,
rights, disciplines, and privileges vested in them by His Word; and that church
officers are pastors or elders, and deacons, whose qualifications, claims, and
duties are clearly defined in the scriptures.
We believe the true mission of the church is found in the Great Commission:
first, to make individual disciples; second, to baptize believers and add them
to the church; and third, to teach and instruct as Christ commanded. We do not
believe in the reversal of this order.
We believe the church has the absolute right of self-government, free from the
interference of any hierarchy of individuals or organizations; that the one and
only superintendent of the church is Jesus Christ, through the work of the Holy
Spirit; that it is scriptural for churches to cooperate with each other in
contending for the faith and for the furtherance of the gospel; that every
church is the sole and only judge of the measure and method of its cooperation
with others; and that in all matters of membership, of policy, of government, of
discipline, of benevolence, the will of the church is final.
Mt 16:18-19; Mt 18:15-18; Mt 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-42,46-47; Acts 6:2-6; Acts
11:25-26; Acts 20:17-21,27-28; Rom 16:1-5; I Cor 3:9-11; I Cor 6:1-3; I Cor
11:2; I Cor 12:12-27; I Cor 16:15-19; II Cor 1:1; II Cor 8:23-24; Eph 1:22-23;
Eph 3:8-11,21; Eph 4:11-12; Eph 5:23-27; Col 1:18; I Tim 3:1-15; I Pt 5:1-4.
XIX. OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S TABLE
We believe
baptism is the immersion in water of a believer in the name of the Father, of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, by and under the authority of a New Testament
Baptist church, to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem one's faith in
and identification with the crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, with its
effects: death to sin and resurrection to a new life; that baptism is requisite
to the place and privileges of a church membership and to the Lord's Table in
which, after solemn self-examination, and by the use of unleavened bread and the
fruit of the vine, the members only of a given Baptist church are to commemorate
together the sacrificial love of Christ.
Mt 3:5-8,13-17; Mt 26:26-29; Mt 28:18-19; Mk 13:34; Lk 22:19-20; Jn 3:22-23;
Acts 2:41-42; Acts 8:12,36-39; Acts 10:48; Acts 18:8; Rom 6:3-5; I Cor 10:21; I
Cor 11:2,23-29; I Cor 12:12-13; Eph 4:4-5; Col 2:12; I Pt 3:21.
XX. OF MISSIONS
We believe
Missions, the endeavor to reach all the world with the gospel, is a charge to,
and the responsibility of the church; that the church is debtor to those who
have never heard the gospel; that the Lord Jesus Christ has commanded the gospel
to be preached at home and abroad -- to the uttermost part of the earth; and
that the magnitude of the Great Commission constrains autonomous New Testament
Baptist churches to cooperate together for the accomplishment of the task.
Ps 96:3; Prov 11:30; Isa 6:8; Dan 12:3; Mt 9:36-38; Mt 24:14; Mt 28:18-20; Mk
16:15; Lk 24:45-47; Jn 4:35-38; Jn 20:21; Acts 1:8; Acts 13:1-4; Acts 16:9-10;
Rom 1:14-16; Rom 9:22-26; Rom 10:13-15; II Cor 5:18-20; II Cor 10:13-16; Phlp
4:14-18; II Pt 3:9; Rev 14:6.
XXI. OF THE GRACE OF GIVING
We believe
God's program for financing the execution of His Great Commission is the program
by which every believer gives tithes and offerings to God in and through the New
Testament storehouse: His Church; that the institution of tithing predates and
is separate from the Law; and that cheerful, obedient, sacrificial giving
presents for God opportunities to manifest His grace and His inexhaustible
bounty of blessings.

XXII. OF CIVIL GOVERNMENT
We believe
civil government is ordained of God for the interest and good order of society;
that government's purpose is to punish evildoers and to support and defend the
righteous; that believers are commanded to conscientiously honor, obey, and pray
for all that are in authority, that men may lead quiet and peaceable lives in
all godliness and honesty; that civil government has no jurisdiction in respect
to the free exercise of the church; and that civil disobedience is justified
only in things opposed to Divine Law, which is supreme, and to the will of the
Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the only Lord of the conscience, and the coming Prince
of the kings of the earth.
