Our Faith
In accomplishing its mission, First Baptist Church
Haslet will operate within the context of its doctrinal statement:
 | We believe the Bible, as God's inspired Word,
is of final authority in faith and life (II Timothy
3:16, 17 and II Peter 1:21). |
 | We believe, based on this Word, in one God,
existing eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the
Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 8:6; Matthew 28:19; I
Corinthians 8:6). |
 | We believe Jesus Christ was begotten of the
Holy Spirit and is true God and true man (Matthew
1:20-23; Luke 1:35; John 1:14; Romans 9:5). |
 | We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin,
makes believers children of God through new birth, assures believers of
their salvation and, by His indwelling presence, enables believers to live a
Godly life (John 10:28, 29; 16:8; Romans 8:38, 39; I
Corinthians 3:16; 12:13; Ephesians 1:13, 14). |
 | We believe man was created in God's image, but
sinned, incurring spiritual death which has passed upon all the race (Genesis
1:26-27; Romans 3:10, 23; 5:12-19). |
 | We believe that Christ died for our sins,
according to the Scriptures, and that all who trust Him are justified on the
ground of His shed blood (Acts 13:38, 39; Romans 6:23;
Hebrews 9:22, 26-28). |
 | We believe in the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus Christ and His present ministry in Heaven for us (Matthew
28:5-7; Romans 8:34; I Corinthians 15:12-20; Hebrews 9:24).
|
 | We believe the personal, premillenial return
of Christ is our "blessed hope" (Acts 1:11;
I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 20:1-6). |
 | We believe in the bodily resurrection of the
just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the
everlasting conscious punishment of the lost (John
5:28, 29; I Corinthians 15:20-28; Revelation 20:11-15). |
