Our Doctrines
		The Church We believe and teach that the local, visible assembly of called out believers into a public place of worship and service is the only one found in the New Testament. We do not believe in an invisible or universal church. The local New Testament Baptist Church is the only one authorized to carry out the Great Commission. The first New Testament Baptist Church was founded by Jesus Christ during His own personal ministry and entrance into the local church is by scriptural baptism. We believe and teach the Local New Testament Baptist Church is an independent congregation and is not governed or controlled by an Ecclesiastical Hierarchy. The will of the Local Church is final. (Ephesians 3:21) (Acts 2:47) (1Timothy 3:15) (Matthew 16:18) (Colossians 1:24) (Ephesians 1:22) (Acts 16:5) (Acts 11:22) (Acts 8:1)

		The Devil and Satan We believe that the Devil is an actual being and not an imaginary influence; that he once enjoyed high heavenly honors and glorious heavenly privileges; that he through pride, ambition and self will betrayed God and as a result brought down upon his head the judgment of God. He operates today as the god of this world and the Prince of the Power of the air; that he is the arch deceiver, and father of all lies, that he is the greatest enemy, the biggest tempter and the greatest opposition to the saints. His final abode shall be the Lake of Fire , which is the eternal place of punishment, prepared for the Devil and his angels. (Isaiah 14:12-15) (Jude 6) (1 John 3:8) (Ezekiel 28:14-17) (1 Peter 5:8) (John 8:43-44)
		The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is a divine person; equal with God the Father and God the Son and of the same nature and was active in the creation. In relation to the unbelieving world He restrains the evil one until God's purpose is fulfilled; that He convicts of sin, judgment and righteousness. He is the agent of the New Birth and indwells, seals, guides and directs the Believer.  (John 14:16-17) (John 14:26)(John 15:26-27) (Romans 8:16) (Ephesians 1:13-14) (Romans 8:26-27)
