Our beliefs are rooted in the Word of God. These foundational truths guide the preaching, teaching, and ministry of Maranatha Baptist Church.
We are an independent Baptist church committed to the authority of the King James Bible and the timeless truths of God’s Word. Below are the eight core beliefs presented by our church.
We believe in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scriptures, and we believe in the preservation of the Scripture in the King James Bible for the English language. We believe the Scriptures reveals God, the fall of man, the way of salvation, and God's plan and purpose in the ages.
We believe in one God, revealed in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Deity, the virgin birth and the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We believe that salvation is by grace and grace alone, and that the conditions to salvation is repentance from unbelief to faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour. We believe that salvation is a free choice of an individual and that “whosoever” chooses to put their trust in Christ can be saved.
We believe in the eternal security of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. A person who is born again has everlasting life, which never ends and cannot be taken away.
We believe that Heaven and Hell are real, literal, and physical places. We believe that Heaven is a place of indescribable beauty and glory; whereas, Hell is a place of literal fire, eternal torment and punishment.
We believe that the Scriptures teach that we as Christians are to live separate from the world and to abstain from worldly pleasures and dress, ungodliness or anything that takes away from one’s Christian’s Testimony.
We believe in the visible, personal, pre-tribulation and pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
2 TIMOTHY 3:16 · KING JAMES BIBLE
