Bethany Missionary Baptist Church

Beliefs:

-Love one for another as Jesus loves the believer manifests our discipleship, proves our love for God and symbolizes our authority as New Testament churches. Love is therefore the great commandment of the LORD Jesus Christ upon which all others are dependent -The infallible, verbal inspiration of the whole Bible and that the Bible is the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice

-The personal triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection .

-The virgin birth and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ .

 -The deity of Jesus Christ .

-The Holy Spirit is the divine Administrator for Jesus Christ in His churches

-Miraculous spiritual manifestation gifts were done away when the Bible was completed. Faith, Hope and Love are the vital abiding Spiritual Gifts .

- Man was created in the image of God and lived in innocency until he fell by voluntary transgression from his sinless state, the result being that all mankind are sinners .

-The suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary for all mankind and is efficacious only to those who believe.

-The bodily resurrection and ascension of Christ and the bodily resurrection of His saints

-The premillennial, personal, bodily return of Christ as the crowning event of the Gentile age. This event will include the resurrection of the righteous to eternal heaven, and the Millennium will be followed by the resurrection of the unrighteous unto eternal punishment in the lake of fire and that the righteous shall enter into the heaven age .

-The depraved sinner is saved wholly by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and the requisites to regeneration are repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ  and that the Holy Spirit convicts sinners, regenerates, seals, secures, and indwells every believer
