BCA Doctrinal
Statement
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only
infallible, authoritative Word of God and that He has preserved
it.
2. We believe that there is one God, the source,
support, and end of all things, eternally existent in three persons:
Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus
Christ, in His Virgin Birth; in His sinless life, in His miracles,
in His vicarious and atoning death, in His shed blood, in His
bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the Father's right hand,
and
in His personal return for His saints and with His saints at
the Revelation.
4. We believe that man is totally depraved, a
sinner (lost) by nature and by divine decree, therefore in need
of the
convicting and regenerating ministry of the Holy Spirit.
5.
We believe
in the personality of Satan, in his power and kingdom,
in his wiles, in his judgment at the cross, and his eternal destruction
in Hell.
6.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit,
that
He convicts the sinner, regenerates the one who believes,
indwells, seals, instructs, reproves, and guides the believer,
that
He
fills and controls every life that is wholly yielded to
Him, however,
the manifestation of any particular filling is not required
as evidence of salvation.
7. We believe that salvation is
the gift of God offered to man by His grace and received by personal
faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
8. We believe in the bodily
resurrection
of the saved unto life and the unsaved unto judgment
and everlasting
damnation.
9. We believe in the spiritual unity of
believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, not in the organized unity
sought
by the
ecumenical movement.
10. We believe in the special
creation of the
existing space-time universe and all its basic
systems and kinds of organisms in the six literal days of the
creation week
and
in the full historicity and perspicuity of the
biblical record of
primeval history, including the literal existence
of Adam and Eve as the progenitors of all people, the literal
fall
and
resultant
divine curse on the creation, the worldwide cataclysmic
deluge, and the origin of nations and languages at the
tower of Babel.
