I. THE __________________ OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
- THE CHURCH IS BUILT ON A ________________ FOUNDATION
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)
“The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts (commandments) of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.” Psalms 19:7-8 (NIV)
- …THE _____________________
- The DEITY of Jesus Christ. (We believe in the Holy Trinity).
- The VIRGIN birth and SINLESS life of Jesus Christ.
- The RESURRECTION and ASCENSION of Jesus Christ.
- The RETURN of Jesus Christ.
“We believe someday “every knee shall bow of things in heaven and things in earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:10-11
- … __________________
We believe...A person is saved by GRACE alone, through FAITH alone, in CHRIST alone.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
“There is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them.” Acts 2:12 (NIV)
“Jesus said; “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV)
- …__________________ - ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.”
John 10:27-29 (NIV)
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39
