- SPRING CITY BAPTIST CHURCH
- STATEMENT OF DOCTRINE
-
- WE
BELIEVE…
-
…in the verbal inspiration and sole authority of the
sixty-six books of the Bible, preserved without error for the
-
English speaking people in the authorized King James
Version.
-
-
…that there is one true living God, existing in the three
persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
-
-
…in the Deity and Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, the Son on
God. We believe in His bloody death on the cross, His burial,
-
and His bodily resurrection and ascension back to Heaven.
-
-
…in the Person and work of the Holy Spirit, which includes
conviction of sin, regeneration of sinners and the indwelling
-
of all believers. We also stand AGAINST the charismatic
perversion of the Holy Ghost and His gifts.
-
-
…all men are born sinners and can only be saved when Christ
is received as personal Savior. Therefore, salvation is only
-
“by grace”, the conditions to salvation being repentance and
faith. Thus, eternal life is a gift of God not of works.
-
-
…in the eternal salvation of the believer, and that this
eternal life can not be lost under any circumstance in this
church
-
age. We further believe that each Christian has a
responsibility to live a holy life and not fulfill the lust of
the flesh.
-
-
…in the immersion of the believer in water to signify
Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection and the believer’s
-
identification with such as a testimony of salvation. We
believe in the church completely INDEPENDENT with no other
-
person, group or body having the authority, right of
intervention or control what so ever of her affairs. We
furthermore
-
STAND against the ecumenical movement.
-
-
…in the visible, personal, premillennial and
pretribulational return of Jesus Christ. His saints, which
includes the bodily
-
resurrection of the saved dead with the catching away of
the living saved in the clouds. We further believe in a literal
one
-
thousand year of Jesus Christ upon the earth, and the
everlasting conscience blessedness of the saved and the
everlasting
-
conscience punishment of the lost in Hell and ultimately
the Lake of Fire forever.
