God Simple Plan Of Salvation
" If you will go to Hell, you have nobody to blame but yourself... and if you will go to Heaven , you have nobody to Praise but God and His Sovereign Grace..." Salvation - in Greek word " soterio " , it means deliverance from the penalty, power, and presence of SIN " 1. Man's Condition - Man is totally depraved, alienated from God and is under the just penalty and condemnation.Man in natural self will not seek after God.Eph.2:1-5 ; Rom. 5:8-10, John 3:36, Psalms 53:2-3. 2. God's Provision - Though Man is Hopeless in himself, God provided a FREE WAY of SALVATION for Man. He Sent His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS CHRIST to Die on the Cross, He shed his precious BLOOD to atone and pay the sinner's SINS, he died, was buried and rose again on the third Day.The Lord Jesus knew no sin but He died in the place of Sinners.Christ became our SUBSTITUTE and PROPITIATION. 3. The Great INVITATION- " Today is the DAy Of Salvation, Now is the Accepted Time. Today , if you hear His Voice, Harden Not your Hearts.." II cor. 6:2 " IF THOU SHALL CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH AND BELIEVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART THAT CHRIST DIED AND GOD RAISED HIM UP FROM THE DEAD.. THOU SHALT BE SAVED..." Romans 10:9
OUR DOCTRINAL STATEMENT ( BAPTISTS )
1.BIBLE - WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE ( 66 BOOKS ) IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD AND IS THE SOLE BASIS OF DOCTRINES, FAITH AND PRACTICES. II TIM. 3:16 2.AUTHORITY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH-WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS GLORIFIED IN HIS CHURCHES ( EPH. 3:21 . THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AUTHORIZED ONLY HIS CHURCHES TO CONTINUE THE MINISTRY OF PREACHING, BAPTIZING AND TEACHING. THEREFORE, ANY OTHER SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES, AND ASSOCIATIONS MUST BE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE LORD'S CHURCHES MAT. 18:18-20 MAT. 28:18-20 3. PERPETUITY OF THE LORD'S CHURCH-WE BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST CHURCH ESTABLISHED BY THE LORD IN GALILEE ORGANIZED OTHER BAPTIST CHURCHES, THUS , IN EVERY AGES CHRIST'S CHURCHES CONTINUED TO EXIST WITHOUT BROKEN CHAINS OF LINKS FOR OUR LORD PROMISE CONTINUAL EXISTENCE OF HIS CHURCHES THROUGHOUT THE AGES. MAT. 16:18 , EPH. 3:21 4. TRINITY - WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE GOD BUT IN THREE PERSONS. CO-EQUAL, CO-ETERNAL, AND CO-ESSENCE WITH EACH OTHER. mAT. 28:19 5. INDIGENOUS CHURCH- INDEPENDENCE AND INTERDEPENDENCE OF THE LOCAL CHURCH- WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY LOCAL CHURCH IS EQUAL WITH ANY OTHER LOCAL CHURCHES. IT IS EVERY LOCAL CHURCH IS A SELF-GOVERNING,SELF PROPAGATING, SELF- SUPPORTING BODY. 6. SALVATION BY GRACE - WE BELIEVE THAT SALVATION IS OF THE LORD JON. 2:9 WE BELIEVE THAT SALVATION IS NOT GOD'S OBLIGATION TOWARD MAN BUT A MANIFESTATION OF GOD'S MERCY AND GRACE TOWARDS UNDESERVING CONDEMNED SINNERS. WE BELIEVE THAT SALVATION IS BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH ONLY. EPH. 2:8-9. A PERSON IS SAVED THE MOMENT HE BELIEVES ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, BELIEVING THAT CHRIST'S FINISHED WORK IN CALVARY AS THE ONLY SOURCE OF FORGIVENESS. 7. TWO ORDINANCES- WE BELIEVE THERE ARE ONLY TWO SYMBOLICAL ORDINANCES GIVEN BY THE LORD TO HIS CHURCHES: BAPTISM AND LORD'S SUPPER. THIS IS ONLY A MEMORIAL AND NOT A SACRAMENTS. BAPTISM -IS THE IMMERSION OF THE BELIEVER INTO WATER AS A PICTURE OF CHRIST DEATH , BURIAL AND RESURRECTION. LORD'S SUPPER- WE BELIEVE IN A CLOSED-CLOSED COMMNICATION THAT ONLY THOSE MEMBERS ' OF THE LOCAL CHURCH WHO ARE IN SPIRITUAL CONDITION CAN PARTAKE THE LORD'S SUPPER. IT IS A PICTURE OF CHRIST DEATH, SUFFERING, AND BLOOD SHED FOR US. 8. SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER- WE BELIEVE THAT SALVATION CAN NEVER BE LOST. CHRIST PROCLAIMED THAT NONE OF HIS ELECT OR SHEEP WILL BE LOST. ROM 8:35-39, JOHN 6:37-44
