What Kind of Church- Part 1

The Church must have a firm stand on what it teaches, called doctrine. The church must hold truths that are non-negotiable; the eternal truths of God. That God is a Trinity; Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. That God is Holy, All-powerful, All-knowing, Everywhere present at once, Eternal. That God created everything. That the Bible is without error. That Jesus was born of a virgin, sinless, died bearing our sin, and rose again the third day, and is coming again to earth. That Salvation is wholly a work of God's grace, received by faith in Jesus. That true believers are eternally secure in Jesus. Actually, Bible Baptist holds 20 "Articles of Faith", copies are available in our church library. These articles are widely held by Baptist churches globally. For the Church to be on a rock solid foundation, these are the first things the Christian should look for in a church. Be assured that these Doctrines of Scripture will never be compromised. We stand on the bedrock of truth that has not and will not change. Matthew 5:18 & John 17:17
