 Christ
Evangelical Baptist Church
is a non-denominational, Bible
believing assembly. We are conservative in our theology
and we believe that the purpose of the church is to
proclaim the gospel through our pulpit ministry and
various outreaches. Here is our stand on some of the
primary issues of Christianity.

DOCTRINE
(NIV Scriptures)
|
God Almighty, the Creator |
1In the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis
1:1
1In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. 2He was
with God in the beginning. 3Through
him all things were made; without him nothing was made
that has been made. John 1:1-3
|
|
The Virgin Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ |
14Therefore
the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will
be with child and will give birth to a son, and will
call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14
18This
is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother
Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before
they came together, she was found to be with child
through the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18

The Suffering and Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ
|
1Then
Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
2The soldiers twisted
together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They
clothed him in a purple robe 3and
went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of
the Jews!” And they struck him in the face. John 19:1-3
So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.
17Carrying his own cross,
he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic
is called Golgotha). 18Here
they crucified him, and with him two others–one on each
side and Jesus in the middle. John 19:17-18

|
The Death of our Lord Jesus Christ |
28Later,
knowing that all was now completed, and so that the
Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am
thirsty.” 29A jar of wine
vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put
the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it
to Jesus' lips. 30When he
had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.”
With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ |
1Early
on the first day of the week, while it was still dark,
Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone
had been removed from the entrance.
2So she came running to
Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved,
and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and
we don't know where they have put him!”
19On
the evening of that first day of the week, when the
disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear
of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said,
“Peace be with you!” 20After
he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The
disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

The Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ
|
9After
he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes,
and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10They
were looking intently up into the sky as he was going,
when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside
them. 11“Men of Galilee,”
they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky?
This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into
heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him
go into heaven.”

The Unfinished Work of the Holy Spirit |
8But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.” |
THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION
 |
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
... Romans 3:23 |
| For the wages
of sin is death... Romans 6:23a |
| ...but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Romans 6:23b |
| But God
demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were
still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
|
| for,
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.” |
| That if you
confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in
your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will
be saved. Romans 10:9 |
|
1Therefore, I urge you,
brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies
as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is
your spiritual act of worship. 2Do
not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you
will be able to test and approve what God's will is–his
good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2
