Doctrinal Statement

FBCS Believes...

...that the Bible is the divinely inspired, infallible inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.

...that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

...in the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, His deity, His sinless humanity, the eternal all-sufficiency of His atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the Father's right hand, and His personal future return to this earth in power and glory.

...that in the "new birth" one received positional sanctification being set apart to God, continuing in practical sanctification in all aspects of life, and receiving perfected sanctification at the coming of Christ.

...in the ministry of the Holy Spirit who convicts, indwells, enlightens and empowers believers for godly living and in the baptism and infilling of the Holy Spirit who imparts spiritual gifts for the edification and equipping of the saints.

...in the resurrection of the human body and the eternal existence of all people in heaven or hell.

...that God did not reject Israel, His people, for God's calling is irrevocable thus believing in the past, present and future standing of Israel in the plan of God.

... that the church is the spiritual body of which Christ is the Head, both functionally and eternally, observing the ordinances of Christian Baptism by immersion for believers and the Lord's Supper.
