Basic Doctrinal Beliefs
WHAT WE BELIEVE:
- We believe the whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, as the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God.
- We believe Jesus Christ was born of Mary the virgin, and is the Son of God, and God the Son.
- We believe that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, the Just for the unjust that He might bring us to God.
- We believe that He rose from the grave the third day according to the Scriptures.
- We believe that He only, is the great High Priest, and we need not the intercession of any man, but, that Christ ever liveth to intercede for us.
- We believe that Christ will come again in Person, bodily, visibly to establish His Kingdom on the earth.
- We believe that in order to be saved the soul must be born again — “Ye must be Born Again.”
- We believe that every truly born again soul should declare his faith in the act of baptism (immersion in water) setting forth the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection.
- We believe that the church is a body of baptized believers whose only mission is, not to “reform the world,” but to teach and preach the Gospel of salvation to the individual soul.
- We believe that the four-fold platform of the church is:
- To recognize Christ as its Head.
- To obey the Holy Spirit as its only administrator.
- To proclaim the Word as its only message.
- To win lost souls as its only mission.
Summing it all up, a Fundamental Baptist is one: who believes in the supernatural Bible, which tells of a supernatural Christ, Who had a supernatural birth, Who spoke supernatural words, Who performed supernatural miracles, Who lived a supernatural life, Who died a supernatural death, Who rose in supernatural powers, Who ascended in supernatural splendor, Who intercedes as a supernatural priest and Who will one day return in a supernatural splendor.
