Mt Holston Baptist Church

 1. We believe that love one for another as Jesus loves the believer manifests our discipleship, proves our love for God and symbolizes our authority as New Testament churches. Love is therefore the great commandment of the LORD Jesus Christ upon which all others are dependent (Matt.22:35-40; John 13:34, 35; John 15:12; 1 John 4:7 21; 1 John 5:1-3; Rev 2:4,5).
2. We believe in the infallible, verbal inspiration of the whole Bible and that the Bible is
the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice (Psalm 119:160; 2 Tim. 3:16,17).
3. We believe in the personal triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection (Matt. 28:19).
4. We believe in the Genesis account of creation (Gen. 1;2).
5. We believe that Satan is a fallen angel, the archenemy of God and man, the unholy god of this world, and that his destiny is the eternal lake of fire (Isa. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:11 19; Matt. 25:41; 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 6:10-17; Rev 20:10).
6. We believe in the virgin birth and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ (Matt 1:18-20; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22).
7. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (John 10:30; John 1:1, 14; 2 Cor. 5:19).
8. We believe the Holy Spirit is the divine Administrator for Jesus Christ in His churches (Luke 24:49; John 14:16, 17; Acts 1:4,5,8; Acts 2:1-4).
9. We believe that miraculous spiritual manifestation gifts were done away when the Bible was completed. Faith, Hope and Love are the vital abiding Spiritual Gifts ( 1 Cor. Chapters 12-14.)
10. We believe that Man was created in the image of God and lived in innocency until he fell by voluntary transgression from his sinless state, the result being that all mankind are sinners (Gen. 1:26; Gen 3:6-24; Rom. 5:12,19).
11. We believe that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary for mankind and is efficacious only to those who believe (Isa. 53:6; Heb. 2:9; 1 Peter 2;24;
1 Peter 3;18; 2 Peter 3:9, 1 John 2:2).
12. We believe in the bodily resurrection and ascension of Christ and the bodily resurrection of His saints (Matt. 28:1-7; Acts 1:9-11; I Cor 15:42-58; 1 Thess. 4:13-18).
13. We believe in the premillennial, personal, bodily return of Christ as the crowning event of the Gentile age.
