What Baptists Believe

We base all of our beliefs on God’s Word-the Bible!

  1. The bible is the only authority in all matters of faith and practice (II Timothy 3:16, 17; Matthew 28:18-20)

  2. Pure, regenerate, baptized church membership (Acts 2:38, 41; I Corinthians 5:1-13)

  3. Autonomous, Sovereign, independent, local churches (Acts 6:1-6; 15:22-23; I corinthians 5:13; 6:1-5)

  4. The priesthood of the believers (Hebrews 4:14-16; Revelation 1:6)

  5. Soul liberty (I corinthians 2:12; I john 2:20; Romans 14:10-12)

  6. Two Ordinances: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Matthew 28:19-20; I Corinthians 11:23-29)

  7. Separation of church and state (Luke 20:25)

  8. Separation Ethically and Ecclesiastically (Romans 16:17; II Thessalonians 3:11-15; II John 6-11)
