What We Believe

              

When choosing a place of worship, it is important to find a church that is biblically solid in its beliefs, uncompromising in its values, and relevant in its teachings.

 
Here at First Baptist Dean
 
 
  • We believe that there is one God, manifested in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
 
  • We believe that Jesus is the begotten Son of God, was born of a virgin, is wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutional sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose from the grave and ascended into Heaven (John 1:14; 3:16; Matthew 4; Luke 4; Hebrews 4:15; 2 Cor. 5:21).
 
  • We believe in the literal, bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth (Revelation 19).

 

  • We believe that the Bible is the Word of God without any error, the sole authority for life (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

 

  • We believe that man is a special creation of God, made in His image (Genesis 1:26-27).
 
  • We believe that mankind fell through the sin of first man, Adam, and that all men are sinners in need of salvation (Genesis 3:15; Romans 5:12-15).
 
  • We believe that salvation is a gift of grace from God, received through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in Him Alone (Romans 6:23; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:12).
 
  • We believe that every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 10:28-30; Ephesians 1:13-14; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10; 14).
 
  • We believe that water baptism is in obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation. We hold that the formula for Baptism is Trinitarian in nature. (Romans 6:3-10).
 
  • We believe that the local church is the local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as head (Ephesians 1:22-23).
 
  • We believe that each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible, God’s Word (1 Timothy 2:5-6; Hebrews 10:19-26). In greater detail we are in agreement and hold to the Baptist Faith and Message
