The following are the CORE BELIEFS of Albertville First Baptist Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
God
We believe that there is one God who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of the virgin, Mary, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died in our place as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven.
Christ Return
We believe that Jesus Christ will literally return to earth.
Holy Spirit
We believe that God the Holy Spirit is active in convicting unbelievers of their need for salvation, and is the
Comforter and Guide who lives in every believer.
Comforter and Guide who lives in every believer.
Salvation
We believe that Salvation is a gift received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Bible
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God without any error, the sole authority for life and faith.
Man
We believe that man is a special creation of God, made in His image, but that through the sin of the first man, Adam, mankind fell so that all men are sinners and need salvation.
Salvation
We believe that Salvation is a gift received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Assurance
We believe that every person who is truly saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Eternity
We believe that those persons who die with their sins forgiven through Christ spend eternity with God.
Baptism
We believe that water baptism is an act of obedience to the command of Jesus Christ and is by immersion after salvation. Baptism is not required for salvation, but is required for obedience to God.
Prayer
We believe that every believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Government
We believe in the separation of church and state, but not in separation of God and government. We encourage all believers to pray for our national leaders and to actively pursue Christian values in our society.
