And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:27-28)

1. Admit you have sinned against a holy God.

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

Have you ever told a lie? stolen anything? dishonored your parents? lusted in your heart? used God's name in vain? (Exodus 20)

2. Realize the penalty for your sin is an eternal lake of fire.

For the wages of sin is death... (Romans 6:23)

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)

3. Believe Christ died for you and rose again.

...Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. (I Corinthians 15:3-4)

4. Repent of your sin and believe in Jesus Christ alone.

...Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:3, 5)

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

Testifying...repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 20:21)

Call upon the Lord now to save you from eternal judgment!!

...Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (II Corinthians 6:2)

We would love to hear of your decision to trust in Christ for salvation. Please contact us!

Our Statement of Faith (part 1)
PERMANENT NOTICE
Posted by: Foundation Baptist Church | more..
800+ views | 170+ clicks
The following Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. We believe the Bible is the only source for everything that we believe and practice. The following statement, however, accurately represents the teaching of the Bible and is binding upon all members. All literature used in the church shall be in complete agreement with this Statement of Faith.

Section 1. Inspiration and Preservation of the Scriptures

We believe that God's Word is inerrant and infallible (John 17:17), and that the writings of the Old and New Testaments are verbally and plenarily inspired by God (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21). God is the actual author of the Bible (I Thessalonians 2:13). We believe that God in His sovereignty preserved His Word and words for all generations (Psalm 12:6-7; Matthew 24:35). All preaching and teaching of the church must be from the King James Bible (or its equivalent in other languages).

Section 2. The Triune Godhead

There is only one God who exists as three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 44:6; Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14; I John 5:7). Each person of the Godhead is identical in nature, eternal in being, equal in power, and possesses the same divine attributes (John 4:24; Hebrews 1:3). He is the self-existent source of life and creator of all that exists (Exodus 3:14; Jeremiah 32:17; John 5:26; Colossians 1:16-17). God is absolutely holy (Leviticus 11:44-45). He is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, and immutable (Psalm 139:7-10; Proverbs 15:3; Job 42:2; Malachi 3:6; James 1:17).

Section 3. God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is God (John 1:1; 10:30; 20:31). He is eternal and was manifest in the flesh (John 1:14). He is the second person of the Godhead and was not created, having neither beginning nor end (Micah 5:2). He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:20-23). He lived a sinless life on earth in the form of a man, and died a voluntary, substitutionary, sacrificial death on the cross at Calvary to atone for the sins of mankind through His shed blood (Hebrews 4:15; Isaiah 53:4-6; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 2:24).

Section 4. God the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is God, existing eternally as the third person of the Godhead. He is equal in essence with both God the Father and God the Son (John 4:24; Acts 5:3-4; Matthew 28:19). The ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer is that of indwelling, sealing, empowering, guiding, teaching, and filling (John 16:13; 14:26; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:9, 11, 16; I Corinthians 6:19; Ephesians 1:13-14; 5:18). The Holy Spirit reproves the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:8). He sovereignly bestows spiritual gifts to every believer for the edifying of the body of Christ (Romans 12:6-8; I Corinthians 12:8-11; Ephesians 4:11-12; I Peter 4:10-11). The temporary sign gifts of the Holy Spirit are not applicable to believers today since we have the completed written revelation of God's Word (I Corinthians 13:8-10).

Section 5. Angels and Satan

We believe that God created a perfect host of angelic beings known as angels or "sons of God" (Job 38:4-7). The holy angels are ministering spirits who minister to God's people (Hebrews 1:13-14; Genesis 19:11, 15-16; Psalm 91:11; Matthew 18:10; Acts 27:23-24). Angels will be used as God's agents of judgment at the end of this age (Revelation 16:1). We believe that Satan, who was created as part of the perfect angelic host of angels, was an exalted angel. Because of his pride, he rebelled against God's authority and was cast from heaven (Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:12-19). Satan is a real, personal, evil spirit being who is the father of all lies, and the god of this world. He blinds the minds of unbelievers and is destined for eternal punishment in the lake of fire (John 8:44; II Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:7-10). In his rebellion, he led a third part of the angels with him. These fallen angels are now devils (demons) which cooperate with Satan in his efforts to hinder and destroy God's people and God's work (Revelation 12:4; Ephesians 6:12).

Section 6. Creation and Man

The creation of man was a direct act of God on the sixth 24-hour day of God's creation as recorded in Genesis 1 and 2. We reject evolution, the Gap Theory, the Day-Age Theory, and Theistic Evolution as unscriptural theories of origin. God took the dust of the ground, formed Adam, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; therefore, man's origin is not the result of an evolutionary process (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7). Man was created in the image of God possessing a moral, but not a physical likeness to God (Genesis 1:26). In a state of innocence, he willfully sinned by disobeying God's command (Genesis 2:16-17; 3:6).

Section 7. Sin and Condemnation

Sin is the transgression of God's law (I John 3:4). It is the inability to conform to God's righteous standard (Romans 5:6). It is a "missing of the mark" of God's perfect glory (Romans 3:23). Every human being is born with an inherited sin nature because of Adam's disobedience in the garden of Eden. Therefore, all humanity became subject to sin and death, and are without excuse before God (Romans 3:10, 19-20, 23; 5:12, 19; Psalm 51:5; John 3:19). All are condemned to physical, spiritual, and eternal death without Jesus Christ (John 3:19; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:11-15). We believe that young children are protected from this condemnation before they reach an age of understanding (II Samuel 12:23).

Section 8. Salvation

Salvation is a free gift of God that cannot be merited on any basis of good works (Romans 6:23b; Titus 3:5). It is wholly by God's grace (Ephesians 2:8-9) on the merit of faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:24-26). The elements of conversion are repentance and faith (Acts 20:21). Once an individual repents of sin and places faith in Jesus Christ (I Thessalonians 1:9), he is eternally secure and can never lose his salvation (John 3:16, 36; Ephesians 1:13; I John 5:11-13). At the point of salvation, a believer is justified by the faith of Christ (Romans 5:1; Galatians 2:16). We reject the doctrines of Calvinism represented by the TULIP as misinterpretations of Scripture (II Peter 3:9; I Timothy 2:1-6; I John 2:1-2).

Section 9. The Church of Jesus Christ

The church that Jesus established is a local, organized, self-governing assembly of regenerated, baptized believers, voluntarily united together for the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission, and with Jesus Christ as its Head (Matthew 18:15-17; Acts 2:41-42; 13:1-3; 15:23-28; Ephesians 5:23; Colossians 1:18). The ordinances of the church are baptism and the Lord's Supper (Matthew 26:26-28; 28:19). Believer's baptism is by immersion under water through the authority of the local church (Acts 8:36-39). Baptism is an outward expression of the believer's identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:4-5) and unites that believer to the particular local church in which he is baptized (Acts 2:41, 47). The Lord's Supper is a memorial picturing the broken body of Christ that was sacrificed on the cross and his blood that was shed to pay for man's sin (I Corinthians 11:23-30). Acts 2:41-42 sets a pattern for those eligible to partake of the Lord's Supper (i.e., those who believed, were baptized, and belonged to the local church). Neither baptism or the Lord's supper has any sacramental merit for salvation.

The offices of the church are pastor (elder, bishop) and deacon. The qualifications for these offices are clearly defined in Scripture (I Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:6-9; Acts 6:1-7). While we believe that men and women have spiritual equality before God, God has ordained distinct and separate leadership roles for men and women in the home, the church, and nation. The husband is to be the head of the home, and men are to be the leaders (pastors and deacons) of the church. Accordingly, only men are eligible for licensing and ordination by the church (Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:18; I Timothy 2:8-15; 3:4-5, 12).

We reject as a misinterpretation of Scripture the concept of an universal (catholic) church. The Greek term translated as church in the King James Bible refers to a called out assembly. Something universal cannot assemble. Additionally, throughout Scripture, the word churches (plural) is used by the Holy Spirit (Revelation 2-3). After the translation of the saints to New Jerusalem, there will be for the first time a called out, universal assembly referred to as the church of the firstborn (Hebrews 12:22-24).

No hierarchy of individuals or organizations, religious or political, has any authority over this local church other than our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 22:17-21). Therefore, the church will not seek to incorporate with the state or place itself under the authority of a denomination.

Section 10. Last Things

Heaven is an actual place where God dwells (Matthew 6:9). Heaven is the place from which Christ descended and to which, after the completion of His earthly ministry, He ascended after His resurrection. Jesus Christ now sits in heaven at the right hand of God the Father where He makes intercession for the saints. All believers immediately go to God's presence in heaven upon death (Mark 16:19; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 8:34; II Corinthians 5:8).

We believe in the promised, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; John 14:1-3). Jesus will receive unto Himself all those who have believed in His death and resurrection (I Thessalonians 4:13-18). After the translation of the saints to meet the Lord in the air, believers will give an account of their works at the judgment seat of Christ (Matthew 16:27; Romans 14:10-12; I Corinthians 3:10-15; II Corinthians 5:9-11). Jesus will return with His saints to earth to judge all nations (Revelation 14:14-20; 19:11-21; Jude 14-15). A thousand year reign of Jesus Christ will follow His coming which will culminate with the destruction of Satan and his evil followers (Revelation 20:1-10). At the end of the thousand year reign, all lost sinners will be judged at the great white throne judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). The saints of God will enjoy the new heaven and the new earth for all eternity (Revelation 21).

Hell is a literal place of torment (Luke 16:19-31). The lake of fire was prepared for the Devil and his angels, but all those who reject the salvation offered through Jesus Christ will spend their eternity there (Matthew 25:41, 46; II Thessalonians 1:7-8). Man will suffer in hell according to the evil he has done in this present world (Luke 12:47-48).

Section 11. Biblical Separation

We believe that the saved should live in such a way so as to not bring reproach upon their Saviour and Lord. God commands believers to separate from religious apostasy; worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations; and to refrain from all immodest and immoderate appearances, piercings, and bodily markings (Leviticus 19:28; Romans 12:1-2; 14:13; 16:17-18; I Corinthians 6:19-20; II Corinthians 6:14-7:1; II Timothy 3:1-5; I John 2:15-17; II John 7-11).

Section 12. Civil Government

We believe that God has ordained all authority consisting of three institutions: the home, the church, and the government. Every person is subject to these authorities, but all (including the authorities themselves) are answerable to God and governed by His Word. No institution has the right to infringe upon the other (Romans 13:1-7; Ephesians 5:22-24; Hebrews 13:17; I Peter 2:13-17).

Section 13. Human Sexuality and Marriage

We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality (sodomy), lesbianism, bisexuality, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one's gender by surgery or appearance (Genesis 2:24; 19:5, 13; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-27, 29; I Corinthians 5:1; 6:9; I Thessalonians 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4). We believe that the only legitimate Scriptural marriage is the joining of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:22-23). We believe that the easy divorce of our culture is not pleasing to God, and He has ordained marriage to last until death of one of the spouses (Malachi 2:14-17; Matthew 19:3-12; Romans 7:1-3).

Section 14. Sanctity of Human Life

We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Abortion is murder, and we reject any teaching that abortions of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control, or the physical or mental well-being of the mother are acceptable (Job 3:16; Psalm 51:5; 139:14-16; Isaiah 44:24; 49:1, 5; Jeremiah 1:5; 20:15-18; Luke 1:44).

Further, we believe that the direct taking of a human life is a moral evil, regardless of the intention. Life is a gift from God and must be respected from conception until natural death. We believe, therefore, that any act or omission which causes death in order to eliminate suffering constitutes a murder. Discontinuing medical procedures that are extraordinary or disproportionate to the expected outcome can be a legitimate refusal of over-zealous treatment (Exodus 20:13; Matthew 5:21; Acts 17:28).
