First Baptist Church of Boca Grande
  1. We believe in a Triune God.
    • God The Father
    • God The Son
    • God The Holy Spirit
  2. We believe that God created the world and all that's in it, according to His account in Genesis.

  3. We believe that Adam & Eve were created without sin, but fell from God's Grace through willful disobedience. (Gen 3)

  4. We believe that man has a sin nature, inherited from Adam. (Rom 5:12)

  5. We believe that man must be saved from his sins.

  6. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God.

  7. We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary. (Matt 2)

  8. We believe that Jesus Christ went to the cross of Calvary freely, as an offering without spot or blemish, for our sins. (Gospel of John)

  9. We believe that Jesus Christ arose from the grave on the third day, whereby He conquered death and sin. (Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John)

  10. We believe that man can be forgiven of all sin through repentance and full faith in Jesus Christ. We call this the New Birth.

    • In John 3 Jesus said "Ye must be born again."

    • Romans 10:13 says "For whosever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

    • The Apostle Peter said, in Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

  11. We believe that Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father, ever making intercession for our sins. (1 John 2:1-2)

  12. We believe that Jesus Christ has prepared a place for us in Heaven. (John 14)

  13. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again to receive us. (John 14) We believe this is the rapture of the church. (I Thes 4:16 & 18)

  14. We believe in Missionary Outreach, both at home and around the world!

We believe in the inspiration of the Bible, and the deity of Jesus Christ, God's Son, in whom we have salvation from our sin by faith through grace. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, and gives guidance and power as we surrender to the Lordship of Christ. We believe that God has given to the church the responsibility to evangelize the world, through the preaching of the Gospel and personal soul winning. We will seek to live today, so as to be ready to meet Him at his coming.
