Baptist Beliefs

Summary | Beliefs | In-depth Beliefs | Compare 

God
An infinite and eternal Spirit. He is the source and support of all things.  He has no form of body and is the same perfect spirit from the beginning. 
Holy Ghost
Third person, or attribute of the one, and only one, God. God meaning “spirit”.
Holy Trinity
One of God only, as is Capable of manifesting three distinct and separate persons. Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  All are equal in perfection, distinct in office, one in substance.
Atonement
Christ atoned for our personal original sins.  He opened the door to everlasting life, through which we, by our faith, may enter.
Baptism
It is not entirely necessary for salvation. By immersion only. Baptisms of other churches accepted if done by immersion. Infants not baptized. Candidates must first believe.
Did Christ Organize a Church while on the Earth?
He did not organize a definite church. He organized his followers to spread the Gospel. And they, in and of themselves, created a church.
Miracles
There were miracles anciently but there miracles of the same nature since the time of Christ.
Probable Future Status Of Non-Believers in Christ
Those who reject Christ will be eternally condemned.  As for any possible future opportunity to accept Christ, we do not know of the possibility.
Pre-Existence of Man
Do not believe in the pre-existence of man.  Jesus Christ (God ) only had such.  He lived before this life.
