We are in full agreement with the Doctrinal Statement of DaySpring Baptist Church and In Grace Missions (The global ministry of Quentin Road Baptist Church).
What We Believe
A Christ Centered Church… A person, Jesus Christ, not a program, is the foremost. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." (Acts 16:31)
A Bible Believing Church…We stand for the historic fundamentals of Biblical Christianity. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testaments to be the verbaly inspired word of God, the final authority for faith and life. In the English language we use the King James Bible and La Biblia Reina Valera Gómez en Español.
An Independent Church…As a self-governing church we have no synod, conference, presbytery or other form form of human organization that exercises control over the local congregation.
An Evangelistic Church…We maintain steadily expanding program of missions, seeking to bring all to the Savior.
A Fellowshipping Church…Christian love, harmony, and unity are found in all our activities.
A Creation Believing Church…We believe Scripture teaches a recent origin for man and the whole creation. We proclaim the fact that we are designed and created by Christ. We believe the Genesis account of Creation affects every part of the Christian life and the proper interpretation of Scripture.
God's Clear Plan for Salvation…
All men are sinners.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
The penalty of sin is death.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
A person must be perfect to enter heaven.
Revelation 21:27
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Man can do nothing to obtain this perfection.
Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
God provided a sin-bearer, Jesus Christ, and imputes to man His righteousness.
Isaiah 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Man needs only belief in Jesus Christ as his personal Savior for salvation.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Acts 16:31
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Man can be certain of his salvation now and that his salvation cannot be lost because eternal life is eternal.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
We are dedicated to the clear gospel of grace apart from any works for salvation
