What We Believe

 

The Cane Garden Bay Baptist Church shall always embrace, preach, and teach these truths:

  1. The Bible as the divinely inspired and revealed Word of God.
  2.  God as the Holy trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
  3. The pre-existence, Deity and Incarnation by virgin birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
  4.  The fall of man, his consequent spiritual death and utter sinfulness and the necessity of his new birth.
  5. The vicarious atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ through the shedding of His own Blood.
  6.  The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ in the body in which He suffered and died, and His subsequent glorification at the right hand of God.
  7.  Justification by the personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, of which obedience to the Will of God and works of righteousness are the evidence and result; the resurrection of the dead, the eternal judgment of the lost and the life everlasting of the saved.
  8.  The personality and deity of the Holy Spirit who indwells the Believer and is His Comforter and Guide.
  9. God is the Source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; the believer’s debtor-ship to the whole world; holy trusteeship in the Gospel; binding stewardship in their possession, and their cheerful, regular, systematic, proportionate and liberal contribution of their means for the advancement of the Savior’s cause
  10. The first day of the week as the Lord’s Day. It commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead, and should be used for worship – both public and private – and for spiritual activities.
  11. SALVATION AND BAPTISM: John 1:11-12; Matthew 28:19-20.
