A
true Baptist is one who believes in a 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 power, who ascended in supernatural splendor, who
intercedes as a supernatural priest and who will one day return in
supernatural glory to establish a supernatural kingdom on the earth.
We believe that there is one God, manifest in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
We
believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly
God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary
sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the
grave and ascended into Heaven;
We believe in the literal, imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth;
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God without any error, the sole authority for life;
We believe that man is a special creation of God, made in His image;
We believe that mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam and that all men are sinners in need of salvation;
We believe that salvation is a gift given through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ;
We believe that every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ;
We
believe that persons who die in their sins spend eternity in Hell and
those persons who die with their sins forgiven spend eternity in Heaven;
We believe that the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head.
