We believe...
...the Bible to be the Word and Revelation of God; that is the only omplete and final revelation of God's will to man; that it is the supreme standard of all faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16-17, 2 Pet. 1:19-21).
...in one God eternally existing, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and manifesting Himself in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one in essence and power.
...in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary death upon the cross for our sins, His physical resurrection from the grave, His acension to the right hand of the Father where He ever liveth to make intercession for the believers, and His personal, bodily visible and premillennial return to the earth at the end of the age.
...that the Holy Spirit is a person possessed of all Divine attributes. We believe He is the Administrator of the things of God; convicting of sin, revealing truth, energizing believers, and restraining evil.
...salvation to be by grace through faith, wholly apart from merit. We believe that every individual is a sinner by birth, and by choice, and therefore must exercise personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross in order to be saved.
...that all who are truly born again are eternally kept by God the Father for Jesus Christ.
...that God made man in His own image by a direct act of creation. We believe the Scriptures record the fall of man that by nature man is dead in trespasses and sin.
...in the reality and personality of Satan, that he is a created being once known as "the anointing Cherub that covereth," that through pride he fell and he now is the "god of this world" and that he will be judged at the revelation of Jesus Christ and ultimately cast into the lake of fire.
...a local fundamental Baptist Church is a voluntary association of baptized believers, equal in rank and privileges and subject to the Word of God, and independent of any external ecclesiastical control whatsoever. We believe that every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ should be baptized and that the Scriptural mode is immersion. We believe the Lord's Supper should be observed in remembrance of His broken body and shed blood until He comes, and that the Lord's Supper has no sacramental value.
