STRASBURG BAPTIST CHURCH

Our Beliefs


"The Lord Jesus Christ"

We Believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. We believe in His substitutionary death for all men, His resurrection, and His eventual return to judge the world.

"Salvation"

We believe all men are born with a sinful nature, and that the work of the cross was to redeem man from the power of sin. We believe that this salvation is available to all who will receive it.

"The Holy Spirit"

We believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity and in His interaction with man. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as manifested by the fruit and gifts of the Spirit.

"The Sacred Scripture"

We believe in the scripture of the inspired Word of God and in the complete revelation of God's will for mankind. We believe in the absolute authority of the Scripture to govern the affairs of men.

"Stewardship"

We believe that every man is a steward of his life and resources which ultimately belong to God. We believe that tithing is a measure of obedience to the scriptural principals of stewardship.

"The Church"

We believe in the Church as the eternal and universal Body of Christ consisting of all those who have accepted the work of the atonement. We believe in the need for a local assembly of believers for the purpose of evangelism and edification.

"Prayer and Praise"

We believe in the worship of the lord through singing, clapping and the lifting of hands. We believe in the authority of the believer to ask freely of the lord for his needs.

"Body Ministry"

We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the Church body through the anointing of oil by the elders of the Church.

"Evangelism"

We believe that evangelism is the obligation of every follower of Jesus Christ. The Lord Commands us to go out and make disciples of all the earth. We believe that each person is first responsible to evangelism in there own family as the Holy Spirit leads them and gives them the ability.

"Water Baptism"

We believe in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion in obedience to the word of God. All those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior should be baptized in water as a public profession of their faith in Christ.

"The Priesthood of the Believer"

We believe that every believer has a unique relationship to the Lord. As His children, every Christian has immediate access to the throne of grace and the ability to manifest the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in ministry.

"In Essential Beliefs -- we have unity"

"There is one Body and Spirit...... There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of us all...." Ephesians 4:4-6

"In non Essential Beliefs -- we have Liberty"

"Accept him whose faith is week, without passing judgment on disputable matters..... Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls..... So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.... So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God."  
Romans 14:1,4,12, 22

"in all our Beliefs -- we show charity"

"...If I hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but also have the very secrets of God, and if I have faith that can move mountains-- but have no love, I amount to nothing at all." 1 Corinthians 13:2
