Doctrine

Statement of Doctrine Biblical doctrines emphasized by FBC are:

• The full and unique inspiration of the Holy Bible and divine Word of God, the only infallible, sufficient and authoritative rule of faith and practice.
• One God, eternally existent in three persons, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His vicarious death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial intercession, and His personal premillenial second coming in power and glory.
• The fall of man, his moral depravity and the necessity of the new birth.
• The substitutionary atonement through the shed blood of Christ.
• Justification by faith through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
• Sanctification by faith (the infilling of the Holy Spirit), subsequent to regeneration, brought by the Holy Spirit in response to an act of total commitment, resulting in purity of heart and enduement of power for holy living and sacrifice.
• The security of the believer as he abides in fellowship with Christ.
• The resurrection of the body unto eternal life for the saved and eternal punishment for the lost.
• The spiritual unity of all believers who comprise the church, the body of Christ.
