WHAT WE BELIEVE AND WRY WE BELIEVE IT

WHAT IS BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH?

It is a Local, Independent, Fundamental, BibleBelieving, New Testament Baptist Church. A church is not a building, or an ecclesiastical hierarchy, but a local called-out assembly of baptized believers in Jesus Christ. We assemble together for Praise, Worship, Teaching, Inspiration, Winning the Lost and for the Strengthening of the Soul.

WHAT DOES BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH BELIEVE?

We believe the Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 to be the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16)

We believe Jesus Christ was born of Mary the Virgin, and is the Son of God, and God the Son. (Matt. 1:18-2 5)

We believe that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, the just for the unjust that He might bring us to God (1 Cor. 5:1)

We believe that He, only, is the great High Priest, and we need not the intercession of any man, but that Christ ever liveth to make intercession for us. (Hebrews 7:25)

We believe that Christ will come again in Person, bodily, visibly, to establish His Kingdom on the Earth. (John 14:1-6)

We believe that in order to be saved, the soul must be born again- "Ye Must Be Born Again." (John 3:3)

We believe that every truly born again soul

should declare his faith by the act of baptism (immersion in water) setting forth the Lord's death, burial and resurrection. (Romans 6:3-5)

We believe that Christ keeps those who are truly born again. (II Timothy 1:12; John 10:28)

We believe that all Christians are called into a life of separation from worldly and sinful practices, to a life of usefulness for Christ. (II Cor. 6:7; II Peter 1:2-9)

We believe that the church is a body of baptized believers whose only mission is, not to "reform the world" but to preach and teach the Gospel of Salvation to the individual soul. (Mark 16:15)

We believe that at Christ's coming in the air, the bodies of the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible and reunited with soul and spirit; the bodies of Christians who are alive shall be changed and glorified, and without dying, shall be caught up to be with the Lord. (I Thess. 4:13-17; I Cor. 15:51-53)
