Statement of Faith

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT OF THE

MISSIONARY BAPTIST SEMINARY OF BETHEL BAPTIST INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES(MBSBBIIS)

1. We believe that love one for another as Jesus loves the believer manifests our discipleship, proves our love

for God and symbolizes our authority as New Testament churches. Love is therefore the great commandment

of the LORD Jesus Christ upon which all others are dependent

(Matt. 22:35-40; John 13:34, 35; John 15:12; 1 John 4:7-21; 1 John 5:1-3; Rev. 2:4, 5).

2. We believe in the infallible, verbal inspiration of the whole Bible and that the Bible is the all-sufficient rule

of faith and practice (Psalm 119:160; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17).

3. We believe in the personal triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection (Matt. 28:19).

4. We believe in the Genesis account of Creation (Gen. 1; 2).

5. We believe that Satan is a fallen angel, the archenemy of God and man, the unholy god of this world, and

that his destiny is the eternal lake of fire

(Isa. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:11-19; Matt. 25:41; 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 6:10-17; Rev. 20:10).

6. We believe in the virgin birth and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ (Matt. 1:18-20; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22).

7. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (John 10:30; John 1:1, 14; 2 Cor. 5:19).

8. We believe the Holy Spirit is the divine Administrator for Jesus Christ in His churches

(Luke 24:49; John 14:16, 17; Acts 1:4, 5, 8; Acts 2:1-4).

9. We believe that miraculous spiritual manifestation gifts were done away when the Bible was completed.

Faith, Hope and Love are the vital abiding Spiritual Gifts (1 Cor. chapters 12-14).

10. We believe that Man was created in the image of God and lived in innocency until he fell by voluntary

transgression from his sinless state, the result being that all mankind are sinners

(Gen. 1:26; Gen. 3:6-24; Rom. 5:12, 19).

11. We believe that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary for all mankind and is

efficacious only to those who believe (Isa. 53:6; Heb. 2:9; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2).

12. We believe in the bodily resurrection and ascension of Christ and the bodily resurrection of His saints

(Matt. 28:1-7; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Cor. 15:42-58; 1 Thess. 4:13-18).

13. We believe in the premillennial, personal, bodily return of Christ as the crowning event of the Gentile age.

This event will include the resurrection of the righteous to eternal heaven, and the Millennium will be followed

by the resurrection of the unrighteous unto eternal punishment in the lake of fire and that the righteous shall

enter into the heaven age

(John 14:1-6; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 2 Thess. 2:8; Rev. 19; Rev. 20:4-6; Rev. 20:11-15; Rev. 21:8).

14. We believe that the depraved sinner is saved wholly by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and the

requisites to regeneration are repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 13:3-5; John

3:16-18; Acts 20:21; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:8, 9), and that the Holy Spirit convicts sinners, regenerates, seals,

secures, and indwells every believer

(John 3:6; John 16:8, 9; Rom. 8:9-11; 1 Cor. 6:19, 20; Eph. 4:30; Titus 3:5).

15. We believe that all who trust Jesus Christ for salvation are eternally secure in Him and shall not perish

(John 3:36; John 5:24; John 10:27-30; Rom. 8:35-39; Heb. 10:39; 1 Peter 1:5).

16. We believe that God deals with believers as His children, that He chastises the disobedient, and that He

rewards the obedient (Matt. 16:27; Matt. 25:14-23; John 1:12; Heb. 12:5-11; 2 John 8; Rev. 22:12).

17. We believe that Jesus Christ established His church during His ministry on earth and that it is always a

local, visible assembly of scripturally baptized believers in covenant relationship to carry out the Commission

of the Lord Jesus Christ, and each church is an independent, self-governing body, and no other ecclesiastical

body may exercise authority over it. We believe that Jesus Christ gave the Great Commission to the New

Testament churches only, and that He promised the perpetuity of His churches

(Matt. 4:18-22; Matt. 16:18; Matt. 28:19, 20; Mark 1:14-20; John 1:35-51; Eph. 3:21).

18. We believe that there are two pictorial ordinances in the Lord's churches: Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Scriptural baptism is the immersion of penitent believers in water, administered by the authority of a New

Testament church in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Lord's Supper is a memorial ordinance,

restricted to the members of the church observing the ordinance

(Matt. 28:19, 20; Acts 8:12, 38; Rom. 6:4; 1 Cor. 5:11-13; 1 Cor. 11:1, 2, 17-20, 26).

19. We believe that there are two divinely appointed offices in a church, pastors and deacons, to be filled by

men whose qualifications are set forth in Titus and 1 Timothy.

20. We believe that all associations, fellowships, and committees are, and properly should be, servants of, and

under control of the churches (Matt. 20:25-28).

21. We believe in freedom of worship without interference from the government and affirm our belief in civil

obedience, unless the laws and regulations of civil government run contrary to the Holy Scriptures

(Rom. 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-15).

22. We believe the Bible definition of marriage is the union between a man and a woman

(Gen. 2:21-24; Matt. 19:4-6; Mark 10:6-9; 1 Cor. 7:2-4; Eph. 5:22-31).

23. We believe God designates each individual their gender. God ordained two genders, male and female.

Mankind does not possess the authority to identify themselves differently than their biological sex assigned by

God, and any attempt to alter one’s gender is sin (Genesis 1:27; 5:2; Matthew 19:4 and Mark 10:6; Job 40:8;

Jeremiah 13:23).
