What We Believe
In finding a church home, it is often important to determine whether you share the same beliefs with a church body. For this purpose, we list some of the main tenets of our faith and the way that we worship here at FBC Nitro.
1. We believe that the Holy Scriptures are the inspired Word and Revelation of God. The Bible is inerrant, infallible, God-breathed, and to be taken literally. The scriptures are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, and born of Mary, a virgin, and is 100% God and 100% man.
4. We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and, in the case of those who reach the age of moral responsibility, are sinners in thought, word, and deed.
5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified by His sacrifice.
6. We believe in the "Eternal Security" of the believer; that it is impossible for one born into the family of God ever to be lost.
7. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven and in His present life there as High Priest and Advocate.
8. We believe in "that blessed hope" that Jesus will return and the Church will be 'gathered together with Him."
9. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
10. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting separation of the lost.
11. We believe that the Scriptural ordinances of the Church are Baptism and the Lord's Supper; that Baptism, by immersion, should be administered to believers only as a symbol of their belief in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and as a testimony to the world of that belief and of their death, burial, and resurrection with Him; that the Lord's Supper should be partaken of by believers in remembrance of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
