✦ Truth Baptist Church ✦
What We Believe
Plain old doctrine from the plain old Book.
The following summarizes the beliefs of Truth Baptist Church. Nothing fancy — just what the Bible teaches and what Baptist folks have preached for a long, long time.
- Article 01
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired, preserved Word of God — our final authority for faith and practice. We stand on the King James Bible in English.
- Article 02
The Triune God
We believe in one God eternally existing in three Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — equal in every divine perfection.
- Article 03
The Person and Work of Christ
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, crucified for our sins, raised bodily from the dead, and is coming again.
- Article 04
Salvation by Grace Through Faith
We believe salvation is the free gift of God, received through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ apart from any human merit or works. Every believer is eternally secure in Christ.
- Article 05
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the lost, indwells every believer at the moment of salvation, and empowers Christians to live godly lives and do the work of the ministry.
- Article 06
The Local Church
We believe the local church is an assembly of baptized believers — gathered to worship, preach the Word, observe the ordinances, disciple one another, and take the Gospel to every creature.
- Article 07
The Two Ordinances
We believe the Lord Jesus gave the church two ordinances — baptism by immersion as a picture of our union with Christ, and the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of His death until He comes.
- Article 08
The Return of Christ
We believe in the personal, bodily, pre-millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ to receive His Church, to judge the world, and to establish His kingdom.
