St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church Statement of Faith

We believe in one God who demonstrates Himself in three distinct ways, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one (1 John 5:7). We believe in God’s one and only Son Jesus Christ, who came in the flesh to offer up his life as an atonement for the past, present and future sins of the world (Titus 3:3-7). We believe that Jesus is the Gate (John 10:9), the only way unto the Father (John 14:6) by whom all must be saved (Acts 4:12). We believe that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23) and it’s only by the grace of God (a gift) that we have been saved (Ephesians 2:8-9).

We believe that All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man (or woman) of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). We believe the gifts given by Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13) and by the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) for equipping and establishing us for service and ministry are still available and active today.

We believe if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9). We believe that we are obligated to preach the Gospel to all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: which is the great commission given to us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19).
