Fountain Baptist Church

~ What We Believe ~

We believe in one God, eternally existing in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, having the same nature, attributes, and perfection and worthy of the same homage and obedience. (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3-4; II Corinthians 13:14; Hebrews 1:1-3; Revelation 1:4-6)

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God without error in the original writings. (II Tim. 3:16)

We believe in the pre-existence, incarnation and virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ who came into the world to reveal the Father, and is the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person; that Christ was the Creator of all things, for by Him all things were made. We believe in the sinless life of Christ, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His bodily ascension into heaven, and in His coming again as revealed by the scriptures. (John 1:1-2, 14; I Timothy 3:16; Acts 7:37-38; Philippians 2:9-10; Hebrews 7:25)

We believe that the Holy Spirit, omnipresent from all eternity , dwells in every believer, unites all to Christ in one body, and is the source of all power and service. We believe that the fruit of the Spirit is the manifestation of the character of Christ in the believer's life. We further believe that all the gifts of the Spirit should be operative in the church to manifest her full glory under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. (John 3:6, 14:16-17; Romans 8:9, 12:10-11; I Corinthians 6:19, 12:8-11; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 2:22, 4:11-13)
