what We Believe

Temple Baptist Church

We believe

the Holy Bible to be the inspired, inerrant and only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe

that the Old and New Testament is God’s divinely inspired Word.  The Bible is our final authority in faith and conduct

We believe

that there is but one God, eternally existent and manifested in the triune Godhead, three persons co-equal in power and purpose – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe

the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 

We believe

in His diety, His virgin birth, in His perfect and sinless life, in His supernatural work in miracles and healing, in His substitutionary death, in His shed blood, which atones for the sins of the world, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right-hand of the Father in heaven, and in His personal return in power and glory to rapture a mature Church.

We believe

that Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man.  He is the head of the church.

We believe

that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and are in need of salvation.

We believe

in the observance of the Lord’s Supper and immersed water baptism.

We believe

in the resurrection of the dead to either eternal life with Jesus for the saved or eternal damnation in hell for the unbelieving lost.
