What We Believe
Community Baptist Church is a community that upholds the historic doctrines of Christian faith as contained in The Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed along with Baptist Distinctives.
The Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.
The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Baptist Distinctives
Baptists share many basic biblical convictions with other Christians including the belief in one God, the human and divine nature of Jesus Christ, and the significance of his crucifixion and resurrection for salvation. Though they have many historic "confessions of faith" Baptists are not a "creedal people". They prefer simply to affirm the authority of the Scriptures for all matters of faith and practice, and allow each Christian the right to interpret the Bible for himself or herself.
However, the distinctive combination of beliefs held among Baptists can readily be identified and have come to be known as "Baptist Distinctives".
1. Jesus is Lord.
2. The Word of God is the Authoritative Rule of Faith and Practice.
3. The Priesthood of All Believers.
4. A Believers' Church.
5. The Ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
6. Congregational Government.
7. Separation of Church and State.
8. Leadership through two offices of Pastor's and Deacons.
