This is a summary of our Baptist beliefs:
We believe that the King James Bible is the word of God without error.
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith. Being born again by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ is the only requirement for salvation.
We believe in the eternal security of the believer (once saved, always saved).
We believe in baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
We believe that the unsaved will spend eternity in torment in a literal hell.
We believe that Jesus is God, and that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary. We believe that God consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and that these three are one (1 John 5:7). The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are three distinct persons (John 1:1, 1 Corinthians 15:27-28, John 8:16-18, John 17:5). This doctrine is commonly known as the trinity. We reject the heresy of modalism or so-called “oneness.”
We reject the teaching of Calvinism. Instead, we believe that God wants everyone to be saved.
We believe that the Lord Jesus is returning as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Those who are saved will be raptured, while those who are not will be thrown into the lake of fire. The Lord will establish the new heaven and new earth.
We believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. We reject same-sex, same-gender marriage and any variations thereof.
Thank you for reading our summary of our Baptist beliefs.

If you reject same sex relationships or marriage than you’re not a true Christian. God’s word says no sin is worse than another as well as turn the other cheek. God’s love is unconditional no matter whom you choose to be with. As a Baptist preachers kid growing up I no longer attend church now because of how judgemental religions can be.. and I’ll be in heaven when I die because I believe the Bible when is says God loves everyone…all sinners are saved by his grace.
I am sorry that you have discontinued going to church. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of GOD. GOD’s Word is what should guide all who claim to be Christians. Unfortunately, not all people who claim to be Christians live their life directed by GOD.
Same-sex relationships or transgender lifestyles are not GOD’s plan, it is man’s. Therefore stating “that God’s love is unconditional no matter whom you choose to be with” contradicts GOD’s Word. Several scriptures state that God’s plan is for 1 man and 1 woman that will become 1. Paul gets even more specific about sins that require death. Romans 1 and Revelation discuss this.
Romans 1, starting at verse 18 states “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them.” (Rom 1:18-32) ” Without natural affection” are those who choose to ignore GOD’s plan and create their own way when it comes to sexuality.
“How blessed are those who wash their robes so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city! Outside are dogs, sorcerers, immoral people, murderers, idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. (Rev 22:14-15)
You can choose to ignore these verses, but I highly recommend that you get on your knees and ask GOD to show you his will. If you need more info please call the church and speak with our pastor.
