Agreement of Belief

The Baptist churches listed in the KJVBible Baptist Church Directory are believed to concur with this brief agreement of belief. It is not a statement of all their beliefs. For the particular beliefs of each church research on their individual websites should be done.

The Bible

• We believe the AV 1611 King James Bible to be the perfect and infallible word of God. We believe the word of God is inspired in its origination and preservation; hence divinely preserved throughout its various generations and languages until it reached us in its present form.
• We believe in the right division of the word of truth, carefully noting differences that exist between the various ages in which God has dealt with mankind. Our understanding embraces a moderate dispensationalism as well as God's progressive revelation in his word.

God

• We believe the trinitarian doctrine of the Godhead and therefore believe Jesus Christ not only to be the Son of God but also God Himself, the image of God, God manifest in the flesh. We also find abundant evidence that the Holy Spirit as both God's and Christ's Spirit is Himself God, as well.

Salvation

• We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the blood and finished atonement of Jesus Christ at Calvary as revealed to the Apostle Paul. Man’s responsibility before God is to repent and believe the gospel in order for God to impute the righteousness of Christ to him at the moment of his belief.
• We believe that a depraved and sinful nature and a naturally dead spirit does not hinder a man from being a free moral agent who is capable and expected by God to will and believe and respond to the admonitions of the Gospel. Men are free to reject God's graciousness in providing a free salvation. Further, Jesus Christ died for "all" without exception.
• We believe a man is secured in his salvation eternally and unconditionally in this age at the moment he believes. This condition is secured by the numerous irreversible works of God and the Holy Spirit.
• As a result of this salvation man can escape a literal, hot and burning Hell which was prepared for the the Devil and his angels to be their future place of habitation; and which serves as the abode for the damned.

Christian Living

• We believe that the saints should be separate from the world as pilgrims and sojourners, that the world is evil in its nature and that Satan is its primary god and governor.
• We believe in the active and vigorous pursuit of lost sinners by street preaching, tract distribution, door-to-door witnessing and any other reasonable and appropriate methods of sowing the seed of the word of God.

The Local Church

• We believe that a local church is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and the fellowship of the Gospel, observing the ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, and exercising the gifts and privileges invested in them by His word.

The Ordinances

• We believe that believers should be immersed in water after being saved. Such believers baptism is one of the two ordinance, but is not a means of grace.
• We believe the other ordinance to be the Lord's Supper or Communion. This is a memorial and again, not a means of grace.

Doctrinal Separation

• We believe the miracle signs and gifts to belong primarily to Israel, dispensationally speaking, and that these signs as practiced by the Charismatics and Apostolics which are exercised mainly in the flesh, are most often fraudulent, and sometimes demonic and devilish in nature.
• We reject ecumenicism in all of its various forms.

Future Things

• We believe in a pre-millennial, pre-tribulational translation or rapture of the Church.
• We believe in the restoration of an earthly kingdom to Israel and a literal Millennial reign of Christ upon earth.
