Beliefs

The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error, the complete revelation of His will salvation of men and the Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life. Lighthouse Baptist Church is independent, Bible-believing, Baptist church with a Bible-centered ministry uses the King James 1611 version in ministries. In one God, Creator of things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

That Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.

That the ministry of Holy Spirit is glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.

That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is, therefore, lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of Holy Spirit and, thus become children of God.

That water baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to observed by Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.

That the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the Head.

That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church and that every local church has the right, under Christ, to decide and govern its own affairs.

We believe in the visible and personal return of Jesus Christ.

We believe in the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.
