Old Baptist Union Articles of Faith

WE BELIEVE with all our hearts in the only true and living God, the creator and sustainer of all things, visible and invisible; and that in the unity of this Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 28: 19) (2 Corinthians 13: 14)

WE BELIEVE in the full inspiration of the Bible, accepting it as the Word of God, and regarding its teaching as of supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
(2 Timothy 3: 16, 17) (2 Peter 1: 21) (John 17: 17)

WE BELIEVE in the Bible doctrine of the fall of man, and in his consequent need of redemption through the atoning sacrifice of Christ, and of regeneration through the Holy Spirit. We believe also that God does not want anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3: 9), for which cause Christ commanded that the Gospel should
be preached to all creation.
(Romans 5: 12) (Romans 5: 8) (John 3: 6, 7)

WE BELIEVE that by his grace, and through the merits of Jesus Christ, God has made full provision for the salvation of all men, but that only those who repent of their sins, and accept Christ, by faith, as their saviour, will be saved.
(John 3: 16) (1 John 2: 2) (John 3: 18)

WE BELIEVE that those who truly repent and believe the Gospel should be baptised by immersion.
(Matthew 28: 19) (Acts 2: 38) (Romans 6: 4)

WE BELIEVE that those who are baptised should receive the “laying on of hands" from the elders, in accordance with New Testament teaching and practice.
(Acts 8: 17) (Hebrews 6: 1, 2) (1 Tim 4: 14)

WE BELIEVE in the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ; and in his deity and absolute sinlessness.
(Luke 1: 35) (Hebrews 1: 2 3) (Hebrews 1: 8) (1 Peter 2: 22)

WE BELIEVE in Christ's death upon the cross as an atoning sacrifice for sin; we believe in his bodily resurrection; in his ascension into heaven, there to “appear for us in God's presence"; and in his personal coming again to receive his people to himself, and to establish his millennial kingdom.
(1 Peter 1: 18, 19) (1 Corinthians 15: 3 5) (Hebrews 1: 3) (Hebrews 9: 28) (1 Thessalonians 4: 16, 17) (Revelation 20: 4)

WE BELIEVE in the infallibility of Christ as a teacher.
(Matthew 7: 29) (John 17: 14)

WE BELIEVE in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, and in his continued presence in the church; and that his gifts may still be claimed and exercised, subject to his will.
(John 15: 26) (2 Corinthians 13: 14) (Acts 5: 3, 4) (1 Corinthians 12: 4)
(Romans 11: 29)

WE BELIEVE in the existence of a personal devil, the arch enemy of God and man, who “leads the whole world astray"; and that although his power is still great on the earth, he is a defeated foe, doomed to final destruction.
(Matthew 4: 1) (1 Peter 5: 8, 9) (Revelation 20: 10)

WE BELIEVE that man is a being consisting of body, soul and spirit. We believe that the spirit can exist independently of the body and that it continues in a state of consciousness between death and the resurrection.
(1 Thessalonians 5: 23) (Ecclesiastes 12: 7) (Revelation 6: 9, 10) (Acts 7: 59)

WE BELIEVE in the present day possibility and privilege of divine healing, and we recognise that God uses a rich variety of means to bring people to health.
(1 Corinthians 12: 9) (James 5: 14, 15)

WE BELIEVE that we should observe the ordinance of the Lord's Supper in accordance with our Saviour's injunction.
(1 Corinthians 11: 23 26)

WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the body, in the glorification of the redeemed and that the finally impenitent "will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord".
(John 5: 28, 29) (1 Corinthians 15: 49) (Matthew 13: 41 43) (Revelation 20: 15)

WE BELIEVE in the need of obedience to everything Christ has commanded; and that the way of obedience is the way of sanctification, power and blessing.
(Matthew 4: 4) (1 Thessalonians 4: 3) (1 Peter 1: 22) (Romans 6: 16) (John 14: 21)

WE BELIVE that marriage is the union between one man and one woman, ordained by God and acknowledged by the Lord Jesus Christ as attested to in the Scriptures. It is a building block for sound community and a safe place to bring up children.
(Genesis 2 v21-25) (Deuteronomy 6 v 6-7) (Matthew 19 v3-6) (Ephesians 5v21-33) (Ephesians 6 v1-4)
