Marion Baptist Church

Holy Scriptures

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God, inerrant and infallible, and the final authority for faith and life.

Triune God

We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—co-eternal, co-identical in nature, and co-equal in power and glory.

Jesus Christ

We believe the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, to reveal God and redeem sinful men.

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and is the supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ.

Man and Sin

We believe man was created in the image and likeness of God, but fell in Adam’s sin, inherited a sinful nature, and is totally depraved and unable to remedy his lost condition.

Salvation

We believe salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins.

Security of the Believer

We believe all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are secure in Christ forever.

Christian Living

We believe the saved should live so as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord, separating from religious apostasy and worldly, sinful practices as commanded by God.
