Faith Baptist Church uses the King James Version of the Bible exclusively in our services and ministries.
(Independent Fundamental Baptist – Based Solely on the King James Bible)
We desire that our beliefs be clearly grounded in Scripture, not in the opinions of men. Therefore, each point below includes King James Bible references.
We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired by God; that it is truth without any admixture of error; and that it is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe the King James Version is the preserved Word of God in the English language.
We believe there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, virgin-born, fully God and fully man, sinless, and that He died as our substitute, rose bodily from the grave, ascended into Heaven, and will return personally and visibly.
We believe the Holy Spirit is a divine Person who convicts, regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, teaches, and empowers the believer.
We believe that man was created in innocence but fell through sin and is now totally depraved and under condemnation.
We believe salvation is by grace through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ apart from works. Salvation includes repentance toward God, faith in the finished work of Christ, and the new birth.
We believe that those who are truly saved are eternally secure in Christ.
We believe a New Testament church is a local, visible assembly of scripturally baptized believers, organized to carry out the Great Commission.
We believe the church offices are Pastor (Bishop/Elder) and Deacon. We believe in the autonomy of the local church, free from denominational control or ecclesiastical hierarchy.
We believe Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Baptism is a picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
We believe the Lord’s Supper is a memorial ordinance for saved, scripturally baptized believers and is not a means of grace.
We believe believers are commanded to live holy and separated lives from worldliness, apostasy, and false doctrine.
We believe in a literal six-day creation as recorded in Genesis.
We believe that Satan is a literal being, the author of sin, and the open enemy of God and man, and that he shall be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.
We believe in the imminent, pre-tribulation rapture of the Church, the seven-year tribulation, the literal second coming of Christ, His literal thousand-year millennial reign, the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost, the Judgment Seat of Christ, the Great White Throne Judgment, and the eternal state: Heaven for the saved and the Lake of Fire for the lost.
We believe civil government is ordained of God for the interests and good order of society, and that believers are to obey civil authority except when it conflicts with Scripture.
We believe God created mankind in two genders: male and female. We believe marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman. We believe all sexual activity outside of biblical marriage is sin.
We believe it is the duty and privilege of every believer and every church to proclaim the Gospel to all nations through soul-winning, missions, and church planting.
