Belief Statement:
Holland Grove Baptist Church is a body of baptized believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, working in an inclusive effort to express Godly love to everyone.
Thus, we, the members of Holland Grove, are not perfect people, but rather we are people who are being made perfect; we are not the redeemer, we have been redeemed; we are not the savior for we ourselves have been saved. We, by the power of the true and living God, have been saved and transformed by God. We see ourselves as those that have been changed by God to offer Jesus Christ to all who will believe that we have peace, power, progress, prosperity and eternal life through the finished work of our Lord on Calvary’s Cross. Ultimately, we see ourselves as reasonable facsimiles of Jesus Christ placed here on earth for purpose of: Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth …… Working for the Lord through Christian Service.
We believe that the Bible, the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, is the Holy infallible word of the living God, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, and complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. The Bible being the revealed Word of God is the ground and foundation from which all claims of truth shall be substantiated. The Word of God is alive and quick! Through God’s sovereign hand, the Scriptures have been preserved and final authority for all Christian faith and life. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21; Hebrews 4:12)
We believe that there is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three Manifestations: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1-3, 26; Matthew 3:16, 17; John 1:1, 14, 10:30, 14:26, 15:26; Matthew 28:19)
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross, the complete and final sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate. (Luke 1:26-33, 22:20, 24:46)
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age, to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. The Holy Spirit is the giver of spiritual gifts to the believer. (John 16:1-13; Acts 5:3-4; Titus 3:5; Matthew 3:11; Ephesians 1:13-14; I Corinthians 12:1-11)
We believe that Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:10, 5:12, 8:18-23)
We believe that all who, in faith, receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior are born again by the Holy Spirit and thus become the children of God. Salvation involves redemption, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification. (Ephesians 1:7; Romans 10:9-10, 5:7-11; Colossians 1:13-14, 21-22; John 17:16-22; II Corinthians 5:17; I Corinthians 6:19)
We believe that those persons who die in their sins without Christ spend eternity in Hell, and those persons who die with their sins forgiven through Jesus Christ spend eternity in Heaven.
(II Corinthians 5:6-8; II Thessalonians 1:6-9; Revelation 19; 5-9; Revelation 20:11-15)
We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons, who through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head. (Romans 16:5; I Corinthians 16:19; Ephesians 5:23-27, 32)
We believe that water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life and Lord’s Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers and only believers should share in it. (Matthew 3:13-17; Colossians 2:12; Titus 3:5)
We believe that each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 6:9-13; Romans 8:16; II Thessalonians 5:17; Hebrews 10:19-20)
