North Beach Baptist Church

We Believe...

> That the whole of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, are the verbally inspired Word of God, supreme in authority and completely free from error.
> In one true God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: These being the same in substance and equal in power and glory.
> In the Deity and perfect humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, His substitutionary death, His bodily resurrection and ascension, and His unchanging office as High Priest.
> In the personal nature of the Devil and his desire to draw people away from God.
> In the fallen, sinful and lost state of all people.
> In God's provision of full salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ from the punishment and power of sin. All who are willing, receive it by repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
> In the Person and work of the Holy Spirit in the immediate regeneration of believers and in their sanctification.
> In the eternal consciousness of the person, the resurrection of the body, the everlasting fellowship and joy of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost and the final judgment of all people.
> That the Church is the company of all who have been called of God, born of the Holy Spirit and have been formed into one body of which Christ is the Head.
> The personal and visible bodily return of Jesus Christ.
> That the observance of the two ordinances of the Lord Jesus Christ, namely, Baptism and the Lord's Supper is a Scriptural requirement upon all believers. Baptism, being the immersion of believers upon their profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a symbol of the fellowship of the believer in their Lord's death, burial and resurrection. The Lord's Supper is a memorial of the sacrifice of the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ until His return.
