Strathmore First Baptist Church

 
  1. We believe the Bible is God’s infallible and authoritative word which communicates God’s perfect character and His will for each of us, and for mankind in general.


  1. We believe God eternally exists in three Persons – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and these three are one God, the Holy Trinity.


  1. We believe Jesus, the second Person in the Trinity, entered human history through the virgin birth and is now and forever both fully Divine and perfectly human.  He lived a sinless life, died in our place as the only acceptable sacrifice to God for man’s sin, and rose from the dead three days later.  He physically ascended to heaven, yet spiritually indwells all believers, along with the Father through the Holy Spirit.


  1. We believe the Holy Spirit, the third Person in the Trinity, convicts unbelievers of sin and indwells, gifts, seals, and empowers believers until the ultimate day of redemption.


  1. We believe eternal salvation is received through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone – and nothing else!  Those who simply trust Jesus for eternal salvation receive the forgiveness of all sins, a new identity as a holy and beloved child of God, spiritual life in Christ, permanent access to God and perfect acceptability by God.  Therefore, any person who simply trusts Jesus Christ for eternal salvation has the assurance of eternal salvation.


  1. We believe the Church, the Body of Jesus Christ on earth, exists to glorify God, to convert unbelievers into believers in Jesus Christ, and to spiritually nurture each believer in faith, love and godliness.


  1. We believe Jesus will return for His church and His return will be pre-millennial.  Jesus Himself will reign as King at His return and throughout eternity.

But you are
a
chosen people,
a royal
priesthood,
a
holy nation,
a
people
belonging to God,
that you may
declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.


-- 1 Peter 2:9
