Our Beliefs:
- The Bible: The Bible is the verbally inspired, infallible word of God and contains no errors, and it is the all sufficient basis of faith, doctrine, and practice (II Timothy 3:16-17).
- The Trinity: God is triune: the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19).
- Creation: The Genesis account of creation is indisputable (Genesis 1-2).
- Virgin Birth: Jesus was born of a virgin (Matthew.1:20-23).
- Christ’s Deity: Jesus Christ is God (John 10:30).
- Salvation through Jesus’s Blood: Jesus shed his blood and died as payment for our sins (Hebrews 9:22, Romans 6:23).
- Salvation: Salvation is completely by grace through faith in Christ (Ephesians 2:8), and those who accept Christ can never lose their salvation (I Peter 1:5, John 10:27-30).
- The Second Coming: Jesus resurrected bodily and will do the same for the saved (I Corinthians 15). Jesus will return bodily and personally in his second coming (Acts 1:11). He will set up His Kingdom upon the earth and rule for a thousand years (Revelation 20:6).
- Hell: Those who reject Christ will be eternally punished in the lake of fire (Luke 16:19-26, Revelation 20:11-15).
- The Nature of the Church: A Church is always a local and visible assembly of believers who have been scripturally baptized and united together to carry out the great commission (Matthew 28:19-20, Hebrews 10:25).
- Baptism: Scriptural baptism is the complete immersion of believers, administered by the authority of a Biblical Church (Acts 8:36-39, 18:24-19:5) in response to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19-20).
- Evangelism: Evangelism is the responsibility of every child of God and, as Church members, and it is our duty to work diligently to share the Gospel with all nations through the ministry of the local Church (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 3:21).
- Christ’s Lordship: Jesus Christ is the sovereign head of the local Church and the Church is subject to no other spiritual authority (Ephesians 1:15-23, Ephesians 5:23-24).
- Communion: The Lord’s Supper is a memorial supper given to the local Church (I Corinthians 11:18-34). The Church is charged to keep the supper pure (I Corinthians 5). For this reason, the Supper is limited to the members of our Church.
- Church Discipline: Church discipline is vital to the purity of the Church and must always be carried out in love (I Corinthians 5, Matthew 18:15-18, II Thessalonians. 3:10-15, I Peter 4:8).
- Biblical Marriage: The Institution of Marriage as defined in the Holy Bible (King James Version). Biblical Marriage was created by God for the purposes of fellowship, mutual aid, reproduction, and sexual intimacy. Therefore, we believe that Biblical Marriage solely consists of one man (created by God as a male at birth) and one woman (created by God as a female at birth) joined together as one. Due to our beliefs about Biblical Marriage, the Pastor and/or any Ordained Ministers within this Church shall not perform ANY Marriage which is not in accordance with the above mentioned definition of Biblical Marriage. In addition, the buildings, property, and possessions of Columbus Baptist Church will not be used in ANY Marriage which is not in accordance with this Biblical definition of Marriage (Genesis 1:27-28; Genesis 2:21-25; Matthew 19:6; 1 Corinthians 7:2-3; Ephesians 5:22-32).
- Sexual Immorality: ANY form of sexuality outside of the confines of Biblical Marriage, as defined above, is contradictory to the Scriptures and therefore constitutes Sexual Immorality. This includes any and all forms of adultery and/or fornication, any Union or Marriage between any 2 (or more) persons of the Same Gender, and/or two (or more) individuals who at the time of their births were naturally born of the same gender. These actions will not be condoned nor promoted by this Church Body (Exodus 20:14; Leviticus 20:10 – 21; Romans 1:18 – 32; 1 Corinthians 7:2-5; Ephesians 5:1 – 5; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).
