Second Baptist Church Of Paterson, NJ

WHAT WE BELIEVE
(The Apostle's Creed - Our Statement of Faith)

In the verbal inspiration of all the Scriptures of both Old and New Testaments, and that they are the final authority in faith and life.

In one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

In the virgin birth of Christ, and that He is true God and true man.

That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, and that with His shed blood He obtained for us an eternal redemption.

In the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate.

In the personal, premillennial, imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In the total depravity of all humankind, and in the necessity of regeneration.

That salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from works, and is possessed by all who have by faith received the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

That the Holy Spirit is a divine Person and He indwells all believers.

In the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
