We the members
of Meadows Baptist Church believe the following:
The divine
inspiration of the scriptures; the Deity and humanity of Christ; His
virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutional death; His bodily
resurrection; His ascension and pre-millennial return for the church.
That all men
are sinners and their only hope is the finished redemptive work of
Jesus Christ.
That a literal
burning Hell is the abiding place of unbelievers.
That the two
ordinances to be observed by a New Testament church are baptism and the
Lord's Supper administered by the local church; baptism being immersion
in water of a believer to show forth our faith in the crucified, buried,
and risen Saviour, Jesus Christ. Baptism is to occur prior to or
in conjunction with church membership.
The Lord's
Supper is to be observed by the sacred use of bread and grape juice,
commemorating the supreme sacrifice made by our Lord on Calvary. Wine
will not be used based on Proverbs 20:1.
The doctrine
of the trinity; the pre-tribulation rapture of the church; and the
bodily resurrection of the dead in Christ at His coming. |
