Seaview Baptist Church Statement of Faith
- We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and that it is of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
- We believe in the Godhead as the lifegiver in the revelation and operation of Christian faith.
- We believe in one God existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, crucified, died to atone for the sins of humanity, and to reconcile humanity to God, that he was buried, that he arose again from the grave, and lives today our hope of glory.
- We believe that the Lord’s Supper is a commemoration of the Lord’s death until He comes.
- We believe in the personal bodily return of Christ; that the saved shall live forever in Heaven; that the lost are eternally condemned: and that salvation is ours by personal acceptance of Christ by faith and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that baptism is for the believer only, and is by mode the immersion of the believer in water, thus setting forth the essential elements of redemption.
- We believe that the Lords Table is open to all wishing to participate.
- We believe that the church as envisioned by the Holy Spirit is a body of believers associated together for worship, mission, discipleship, fellowship and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world.
