What We Believe
At Antioch Baptist Church, our beliefs are firmly rooted in Scripture and centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Here's a brief summary of what we believe:
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the complete and inspired Word of God. The 66 books of the Old and New Testaments were divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit as originally written. The Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
God
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, sovereign, and eternal. He exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the full deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has existed eternally with the Father in glory. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died as a substitute for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will personally return in glory.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and active in the world today. He convicts the world of sin, regenerates and indwells believers, and empowers the Church through spiritual gifts.
Humanity
We believe all people are created in the image of God but are fallen and in need of salvation. Because of sin, all are separated from God and subject to both physical and spiritual death apart from Christ.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is entirely by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We are justified by faith alone in His death and resurrection. All who are truly saved are kept by God’s power and will be perfected in His image.
