STATEMENT OF BASIC BELIEFS Sample Clauses

STATEMENT OF BASIC BELIEFS. We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired infallible word of God and the basis of our sincerely held beliefs. This Church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of The Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1963 and 2000, and changes which may be made later and approved by the Church. We voluntarily band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Xxxxx Xxxxxx personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost mankind and to minister to all. The ordinances of the Church are Believer’s Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. The Baptist Faith and Message (2000) does not exhaust the extent of our sincerely held beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the property conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of the Church faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, the Lead Pastor, in conjunction with the Pastoral Staff, Deacons and Standing Teams of First Baptist Church of Wylie, Texas shall function as the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application. Preamble We believe that all matters of faith and conduct must be evaluated on the basis of Holy Scripture, which is our infallible guide (2 Xxxxxxx 3:16–17). Since the Holy Bible does speak to the nature of human beings and their sexuality, it is imperative that we correctly understand and articulate what the Bible teaches on these matters. We are committed to the home and family as set forth in Holy Scripture. We believe God has ordained and created marriage to exist between one man and one woman, with absolute marital fidelity. The Bible sets forth specific home and family values, which include the distinct roles of husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, and children. It is our firm conviction that we uphold the dignity of each individual as we embrace the unchanging and longstanding principles of scriptural truth.
