I. OF THE SCRIPTURES

We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men supernaturally inspired that admixture of error for it’s matter; and therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the union and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions

1. By “The Holy Bible” we mean that collection of sixty-six books, from Genesis convey the Word of God, but IS the very Word of God.

2. By “inspiration” we mean that the books of the Bible were written by holy men the Holy Spirit, in such a definite way that their writings were supernaturally and verbally as no other writings have ever been or ever will be inspired. II Tim 3:16-17; II Peter1:119:105 & 130 & 160; Luke 24: 25-27; John 17:17; Luke 24:44-45; Psa 119:89; Prov 30:Rev22:19; John 12:48; Isa 8:20; Eph 6:17; Rom 15:4; Luke 16:31; Psa 19:7-11; John 5:

3. The King James Version, 1611, is the Word of God

II. OF THE TRUE GOD

We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, and infinite, intelligent supreme ruler of heaven and earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of love; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of Cor 8:6; Eph 4:6; John 4:24; Psa 147:5; Psa 83: 18; Psa 90:2; Jer 10:10; Ex 15:11; Rev 12:30; Matt 28:19; John 15:26; I Cor 12:4-6; I John 5:7; John 10:30; John 17:5; I Cor Cor 13:14

III. OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

That the Holy Spirit is a divine person; equal with God the Father and God the He was active in creation; that in His relation to the unbelieving world; that He convicts righteousness; that He bears witness to the Truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony; New Birth: that He seals, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, and helps the 28:19; Heb 9:14; John 14:26; Luke 1:35; Gen 1:1-3; John 16:8-11; John 15:26-27; Acts Matt 3:11; Mark 1:8; Luke 3:16; John 1:33; Acts 11:16; Luke 24:49; John 16:13; Rom 1:2; Rom 8:26-27

IV. OF THE DEVIL, OR SATAN

We believe that Satan was once holy, and enjoyed heavenly honors; but through Almighty, fell and drew after him a host of angels; that he is now the malignant prince unholy god of this world. We hold him to be man’s great tempter, the enemy of God saints, the author of all false religions, the chief power back of the present apostasy; author of all the powers of darkness—destined however to the final defeat at the hand’s judgment of an eternal justice in hell, a place prepared for him and his angels. Isa 14:Jude 6; II Pet 2:4; Eph 2:2; John 14:30; I Thes 3:5; Matt 4:1-3; I Pet5:8; I John 3:8; 12:10; II Cor 11:13-15; Mark 13:21-22; I John 4:3; II John 7; I John 2:22; Rev 13:13-14Rev 12:7-9; Rev 20:1-3; Rev 20:10; Matt 25:41

V. OF CREATION

We believe in the Genesis account of creation, and that it is to be accepted literally, figuratively; that man was created directly in God’s own image and after His own likeness; a matter of evolution or evolutionary change of species, or development through interminable lower to higher forms; that all animal and vegetable life was made directly and God’s should bring forth only ―after their kind‖. Gen 1:1; Ex 20:11; Acts 4:24; Col 1:16-17; Heb 1:20; Acts 17:23-26; Jer 10:12; Neh 9:6; Gen 1:26-27; Gen 2:21-23; Gen 1:11; Gen 1:24

VI. OF THE FALL OF MAN

We believe that man was created in innocence under the law of his Maker, but from his sinless and happy state, in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners, and therefore under just condemnation without defense or excuse. Gen. 3:1-6, 24; Rom. Eph. 2:1, 3; Rom. 1:18; Ezek 18:19-20; Rom. 1:32; Rom. 1:20; Rom. 1:28; Gal. 3:22.

VII. OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Ghost, in a miraculous no other man was ever born or can ever be born of woman, and that He is both the Son 3:15; Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:18-25; Luke 1:35; Mark 1:1; John 1:14; Psa. 2:7; Gal. 4:4; I John

VIII. OF THE ATONEMENT FOR SIN

About Us

We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace; through the mediatory who by appointment of the Father, freely took upon Him our nature, yet without sin, personal obedience, and by His death made a full and vicarious atonement for our sins; not in setting us an example by His death as a martyr, but was the voluntary substitution place, the Just dying for the unjust, Christ the Lord, bearing our sins in His own body from the dead, He is now enthroned in heaven and uniting in His wonderful person the divine perfection, He is every way qualified to be a suitable, a compassionate and an Acts 15:11; Rom. 3:24; John 3:16; Matt. 18:11; Phil. 2:7; Heb. 2:14; Isa. 53:4-7; Rom. Cor. 5:21; John 10:18; Phil. 2:8; Gal. 1:4; 1 Pet. 2:24; 1 Pet.3:18; Isa. 53:11; Heb. 12:2; 9:12-15; Heb. 7:25; 1 John 2:2.

IX. OF GRACE IN THE NEW CREATION

We believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again; that the new Christ Jesus; that it is instantaneous and not a process; that in the new birth the one made a partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life, the free gift of God; that about in a manner above our comprehension not by character, nor by the will of man, power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary proper evidence appears in the holy fruits repentance and faith and newness of life. John 1 John 5:1;John 3:6-7; Acts 2:41; 11 Pet. 1:4; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:1; II Cor. 5:19; Col. 2:5:9.

X. OF THE FREENESS OF SALVATION

We believe in God’s electing grace; that the blessings of salvation are made free the immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial, penitent and an obedient faith; the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth but his own inherent depravity and voluntary which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation. 1 Thess. 1:4; Col. 3:12; 30; Matt. 11:28; Isa. 55:1; Rev. 22:17; Rom. 10:13; John 6:37; Isa. 55:6; Acts 2:38; Isa. 1 Cor. 15:10; Eph. 2:4-5; John 5:40; John 3:18; John 3:36.

XI. OF JUSTIFICATION

We believe that the great gospel blessing which Christ secures to such Justification; that Justification includes the pardon of sin, and the gift of eternal righteousness; that it is bestowed not in consideration of any works of righteousness but solely through faith in the Redeemer’s blood, His righteousness is imputed 53:11; Zech 13:1; Rom 8:1; Rom. 5:9; Rom. 5:1; Tit. 3:5-7; Rom. 1:17; Hab. 2:4; 10:38.

XII. OF REPENTANCE AND FAITH

We believe that Repentance and Faith are solemn obligations, and also in our souls by the quickening Spirit of God; thereby, being deeply convicted of helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with unfeigned and supplication for mercy; at the same time heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Him as our only and all- sufficient Saviour. Acts 20:21; Mark 1:15; Acts 2:37-38; Psa. 51:1-4; Psa. 51:7; Isa. 55:6-7;Luke 12:8; Rom. 10:9-11.

XIII. OF THE CHURCH

We believe that a Baptist Church is a congregation of baptized believers faith and fellowship of the gospel, said church being understood to be the citadel Divine and Eternal Grace; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by His rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word; that its officers of ordination whose qualifications, claims, and duties are clearly defined in the scriptures; we the church is found in the Great Commission: First, to make individual disciples; church; Third, to teach and instruct as He has commanded. We do not believe we hold that the local church has the absolute right of self government, free from hierarchy of individuals or organizations; and that the one and only superintendent Holy Spirit; that it is scriptural for true churches to cooperate with each other and for the furtherance of the Gospel; that every church is the sole and only judge method of its cooperation; on all matters of membership, of policy, of government, benevolence, the will of the local church is final. Acts 2:41; Acts 2:42; I Cor. 11:Cor. 12:4, 8-11; Acts 14:23; Acts 6:5-6; Acts 15:23; Acts 20:17-28; I Tim. 3:1-13; Eph. 5:23-24; I Pet. 5:1-4; Acts 15:22; Jude 3, 4; II Cor. 8:23-24; I Cor. 16:1; Mal. 16:2; I Cor. 6:1-3; I Cor. 5:11-13.

XIV. OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER

We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer; of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, with the authority of the local church, to show beautiful emblem our faith in the crucified, buried and risen Saviour, with its resurrection to a new life; that it is pre-requisite to the privileges of a church relation supper; in which the members of the church, by the sacred use of bread and the commemorate together the dying love of Christ; preceded always by solemn self-Matt 3:6; John 3:23; Rom. 6:4-5; Matt. 3:16; Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:3-5; Col. 2:12; 20; I Cor. 11:23-28.

XV. SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER

We believe that such only are believers are kept by the power of God through salvation. John 8:31-32; Col. 1:21-23; I John 2:19; Matt. 13:19-21; Rom. 8:28; 1:5; Phil. 1:6; John 10:28,29; Rom. 8:35-39.

XVI. OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED

We believe that there is a radical and essential difference between the that such only as through faith are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and our God, are truly righteous in His esteem; while all such as continue in impenitence His sight wicked, and under the curse, and this distinction holds among men the everlasting felicity of the saved and the everlasting conscious suffering of 18:23; Rom. 6:17-18; Prove. 11:31; I Pet. 1:18; Rom. 1:17; I Cor. 15:22; Acts 10:6:16; I John 5:19; Gal. 3:10; Rom. 7:6; Rom. 6:23; Prov. 14:32; Luke 16:25; Matt. Luke 9:26; John 12:25; Matt. 7:13-14.

XVII. OF CIVIL GOVERNMENT

We believe that civil government is of divine appointment, for the interests human society; that magistrates are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ; who is the only Lord of coming Prince of the kings of the earth. Rom. 13:7; II Sam. 23:3; Ex. 18:21-22; Tit. 3:1; I Pet. 2:13, 14; I Pet. 2:17; Acts 4:19-20; Dan. 3:17-18; Matt. 10:28; Matt. Psa. 72:11.

XVIII. OF THE RESURRECTION AND RETURN OF CHRIST AND RELATED

We believe in and accept the sacred Scriptures upon these subjects at the Resurrection, we believe that Christ rose bodily ―The third day according alone is our ―merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God;‖ ―that is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen bodily, personally and visible; that the ―dead in Christ shall rise first,‖ that the changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump;‖ ―that the Him the throne of His Father David;‖ and that ―Christ shall reign a thousand until He hath put all enemies under His feet.‖ Matt. 28:6-7; Luke 24:39; John 16:6; Luke 24:2-7; Acts 1:9, 11; Luke 24:51; Mark 16:19; Rev. 3:21; Heb. 8:1; Heb. 2:5; I John 2:1; Heb. 2:17; Heb. 5:9-10; John 14:3; I Thess. 4:16; Matt. 24:27; Cor. 15:42-44, 51-53; I Thess. 4:17; Phil. 3:20, 21; Luke 1:32; I Cor. 15:25; Isa. 4; Rev. 20:6.

XIX. OF MISSIONS

The command to give the gospel to the world is clear and unmistakable was given to the churches Matt. 28:18-20. ―And Jesus came and spake unto them given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; Teaching them to observe have commanded you and, lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

Mark 16:15, ―And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the

John 20:21, ―Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you; as my Father I you.‖ Rom. 10:13-15, ― For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel tidings of good things.”

XX. OF THE GRACE OF GIVING

Scriptural giving is one of the fundamentals of the faith. II Cor. 8:7,
