Our Statement of Faith

 

     I.    The Word of God

    We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

        2 Timothy 3:16-17; 1 Peter 1:21; John 17:17

 

   II.    The Trinity

    We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three Persons; that these are equal to every divine perfection, and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.

        Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14

 

   III.    God the Father

    We believe in God, the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love.  We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

        Acts 17:29; Exodus 4:22; Matthew 3:17; Galatians 3:26;

        Psalm 2:7-9; Ephesians 1:3-6; John 5:37; Hebrews 12:9

 

    IV.    Jesus Christ

    We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit.  We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings.  We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal, and visible return to earth.

        Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:30-35; Matthew 1:16; 1 Peter 1:18; 1 John 2:2;

        Matthew 20:28; Mark 16:6; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:11; Titus 2:13

 

     V.    The Holy Spirit

    We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ.  We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide.

        John 16:7-15 and 3:8; Titus 3:5; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 12:4-11 and 13;

        Romans 8:9; John 14:16-17; Ephesians 4:30 and 5:18

 

    VI.    Regeneration

    We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation.  We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates those who trust in Jesus Christ as Savior.

        John 5:24; Romans 3:23; Acts 13:38-39; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-10

    

    We believe that all true believers, once saved, are kept secure in Christ forever.

        Romans 8:1, 38 - 39; John  10:27-30

 

    VII.  The Church

    We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members.  We believe in the local church consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible profession of faith, and associated for worship, work, and fellowship.  We believe that God has lain upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

        Ephesians 1:22-23 and 5:25-27; 1 Corinthians 12-13 and 10:32;

        Acts 2:42-47; 1 Corinthians 1:1-2; Ephesians 4:11-13.

 

 VIII.    Christian Conduct

    We believe that a Christian should live for the glory of God and the well being of his fellow men; that his conduct should be blameless before the world; that he should be a faithful steward of his possessions, and that he should seek to realize for himself and others the full stature of maturity in Christ.

        1 Corinthians 10:31; Galatians 6:10; Matthew 5:16; James 1:27;

        Ephesians 1:4;  2 Corinthians 8 and 9; Ephesians 4:14.

 

   IX.    The Ordinances

    We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper.  We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer into water in the name of the triune God.   We believe that Christ instituted the Lord's Supper for commemoration of His death.  We believe that those two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

        Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthains 11:23-26.

 

     X.    Religious Liberty

    We believe that every human being has direct relations with God, and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; and that Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from dictation or patronage of the other.

 

     XI.    Church Cooperation

    We believe that local churches can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by cooperating with one another in a denominational organization.  Such an organization, whether a regional or district conference, exists and functions by the will of the churches.  Cooperation in a conference is voluntary and may be terminated at any time.  Churches may likewise cooperate with inter-denominational fellowships on a voluntary, independent basis.  Our church is associated with the Southern California General Baptist Conference.

 

    XII.    The Last Things

    We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth, and the establishment of His Kingdom.  We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal felicity of the righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.

        1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 3:20; Matthew 24:15-31;

        Zechariah 14:4-11; Philippians 1:23; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Revelation 20:11-15.
