1.     About God

God is the Creator of the universe.  He was eternally existed in three persons:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  These three are co-equal and are one God.

Genesis 1 and Psalms 90:2

2.     About Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross.  He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death.  He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Matthew 1:22 – 23 and Isaiah 9:6

3.     About the Holy Spirit

He is present in the world to convict, draw, teach and to guide.  He is received by every believer upon the moment of their salvation and we are to live under his control.

II Corinthians 3:17 and Galatians 5:25

4.     About the Bible

The Bible is God’s word.  It is inspired by God.  It is perfect, pure and has been preserved by God.  It is truth without any error.  The King James Bible shall be the official and only translation used by Abundant Life Baptist Church

2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20 – 21; Psalm 119:105 and Psalm 119:160.

5.     About People

People are made in God’s image but have been marred by sin, thus separated from God.

Genesis 1:27 and Romans 3:23

6.     About Salvation

Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it.  Salvation is by grace and faith alone.  Salvation is through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone.  Abundant Life does not hold to nor will tolerate the views of Calvinism or Armenianism.  We believe the Bible pertaining to salvation. 

Romans 6:23, John 14:6, and Ephesians 2:8 – 9

7.     About Eternal Security

Salvation is eternal and secured for the believer because his/her salvation is hidden and anchored in Christ Jesus alone. Once a person is saved they will always be saved.  We believe that God keeps his promise.

John 10:29 and Hebrews 7:25

8.     About Eternity

People were created to exist forever, either in heaven or in hell.   Heaven and Hell are real, literal, tangible places.  We believe any person that will accept Christ as their personal Savior they will spend eternity in Heaven.  A person that rejects the free gift of salvation that is offered through Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Hell.

John 3:16 and Revelations 20:15

Our Mission is two-fold:

1.      To fulfill the Great Commandment:

Matthew 22:36 – 40

“Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

2.      To fulfill the Great Commission:

Matthew 28:19 – 20

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.”
