Highland Baptist Tabernacle


Statement of Faith

We believe that God verbally inspired the Bible, making it infallible and inerrant, and preserved the Bible in its infallible form for us today through the translations of the Authorized Version of Scripture.
Bible


We believe that God created all things in six physical days and is the Authority over all things in heaven and in earth.

We believe that God is one God existing in three Persons: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only One Who can save man from the wrath of God that will judge for sin.

We believe in Jesus’ virgin birth, his sinless life on earth, his sacrificial death, his physical resurrection and his bodily ascension back to heaven to the Father.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of God and is the active Agent of God in the world today for salvation and all other acts of God. We oppose the views of the Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Signs movements that are based on humanistic tendencies, however, we do believe that God, the Spirit, can still move in any way that would bring glory to God.

We believe that all men are sinners because of a depraved sin nature, inherent of Adam, but we believe any person can be saved by the grace of God.

We believe that Christ established the church in the New Testament being comprised of all those who believe in Him for salavation. Following the day of Pentecost, believers began to meet together in local groups, which we know today as local churches. These local churches were organized in the Apostolic times, and the New Testament gives credence as well as instruction to local churches.

We believe that Christians should live a separated life from the world, meaning that they should live, not according to the humanistic agenda of the world, but according to the teachings of the Bible.

We believe that Christ’s two ordinances for the church (universal & local) are water baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper. We believe in open participation in the Lord’s Supper to all believers in Christ.

We believe in a pre-Tribulation rapture of all of those that have trusted in Christ as their Savior and a pre-Millennial return of Christ to the earth following a seven year time of great tribulation on the earth.
