New
Life Fellowship Baptist Church holds the following doctrinal position:
-
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments alone as verbally
plenarily inspired of God, without error in the original
writings and the sole authority of faith and practice.
-
The
sovereignty of God, total depravity of all men and the necessity
of salvation by grace alone through faith in Christ.
-
The deity
and humanity, virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death,
bodily resurrection, ascension, and imminent premillennial
coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
The Holy
Spirit as one of the three Persons of the Trinity is coequal
with the Father and the Son, and convicts the world regarding
sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates the
believer and indwells those who are saved. Through
the Holy Spirit believers are gifted for service in the body,
but some gifts were temporary and never intended for the church
today.
-
The local
church as an autonomous body, separate from the world, and
distinct from Israel.
-
Scriptural
believer's baptism as a prerequisite to church membership and
the Lord's Supper administered by the local church.
-
The
Rapture of the church and resurrection of the bodies of all
Christians in concurrence with the Rapture.
-
A heaven
of eternal duration for the saved, and eternal punishment in the
lake of fire for the lost.
-
The
separation of the Christian from all worldly practices, in
wholehearted devotion to the cause of Christ.
-
Salvation
of the soul by repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior, and that the soul thus saved is eternally saved
and can never be lost.
-
Separation
from liberalism, neo-evangelicalism, the charismatic movement,
and all forms of apostasy and compromise with unbelief.
