Warrens Branch Baptist Church

2850 Holly Road

What We Believe:
We subscribe to the doctrinal statement of "The Baptist Faith And Message" as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention.

I. We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and all scripture is totally true and trustworthy

II.We believe there is only one living and true God. God reveals himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

III. We believe that God is father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

IV. We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.  He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.  Lived his life without sin and honored divine law by his personal obedience and in his substitutionary death on the cross.  He provided for the redemption of people from sin.  He was raised from the dead, and he ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where he is the One Mediator, fully God, fully man.

V.  We believe the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of old to write the scriptures.  He exalts Christ.  He convicts people of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement.  He calls men to the saviour, and effects regeneration  At the moment of regeneration He baptizes every believer into the body of Christ.

VI.  We believe salvation involves the redemption of the whole person, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by his own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer.

VII.  We believe that a new testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ.  First Baptism after salvation as an act of obedience symbolizing the believers faith in a crucified, buried, and then risen Saviour.  Second the Lord"s Supper a symbolic act of obedience, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorializing the death of the redeemer and anticipate His second coming.
