The Faith We Hold
Our Beliefs
Our confidence rests in the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Word God has given and preserved.
About God
We believe that God originally gave the Scriptures to man by divine inspiration, and that holy men of God were moved by the Holy Ghost to speak and write.
Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
About The Bible
We believe that God not only gave His Word by inspiration, but that He took steps to preserve His Word, just as He promised.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5
The Imminent Return Of Jesus
Based upon our understanding of Scripture, Grace Baptist Church is living in the expectation of the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that He could appear at any moment.
Matthew 24:36; 1 Corinthians 15:52; Matthew 25:13; Matthew 24:27, 44; Mark 13:32
The Gathering Of The Elect
We believe that when Christ returns, it will be in two stages, with the first aspect being to call His saints to Himself, delivering them from the judgment to be poured out upon the earth.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Matthew 24:31; Revelation 19:11-21; John 14:3
Salvation
Our church believes that whosoever will may come to the Lord. We are saved by grace through faith and without works on the part of man.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:12; John 14:6; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
Eternity With Or Without God
We believe repentance and faith are inseparable graces, and that all who do not repent and believe are lost.
John 3:16, 14:17; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; Philippians 2:5-11; Matthew 25:31-34, 41
Security Of The Believer
We believe in the security of the believer.
John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:25
Believer’s Baptism
All who have repented and believed should confess the Lord, follow Him in baptism, and begin to seek to do His will.
Matthew 3:16-17, 28:18-20; Acts 2:41, 8:12; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12
