the 18 articles of faith

Our church was founded and based on the teachings of the Word of God according to the King James Bible 1611, and established in accordance with the Pendleton's Baptist Manual. This includes the adoption of the "18 Articles of Faith".

1. OF THE SCRIPTURES
2. OF THE TRUE GOD
3. OF THE FALL OF MAN
4. OF THE WAY OF SALVATION
5. OF JUSTIFICATION
6. OF THE FREENESS OF SALVATION
7. OF GRACE IN REGENERATION
8. OF REPENTANCE AND FAITH
9. OF GOD'S PURPOSE OF GRACE
10. OF SANCTIFICATION
11. OF THE PERSEVERANCE OF SAINTS
12. OF THE HARMONY OF THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL
13. OF A GOSPEL CHURCH

14. OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER
- We believe that Christian Baptism is the immersion in water of a believer,⁷² into the name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost;⁷³ to show forth, in a solemn and beautiful emblem, our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life;⁷⁴ that it is prerequisite to the privileges of a Church relation; and to the Lord's Supper,⁷⁵ in which the members of the Church, by the sacred use of bread and wine, are to commemorate together the dying love of Christ;⁷⁶ preceded always by solemn self-examination.⁷⁷
