Our Beliefs
Lusaka Baptist Church believes:-
|
In
the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament
in their original writing as fully inspired of God and inerrant and
accepts them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
|
|
In
one God eternally existing in three persons,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
That Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man. |
|
That
man was created in the image of God, that he
sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual
death which is a separation from God and that all human beings are born
with a sinful nature and are guilty before God.
|
|
That
the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, a
substitutionary sacrifice, according to the Scriptures and that all who
believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
|
|
In
the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ,
His ascension into heaven and His present life as our High Priest and
Advocate.
|
|
In
the personal and imminent return of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
|
|
That all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and are thereby made children of God. |
|
In the
bodily resurrection both of the just and
unjust; the eternal blessedness of the redeemed in the presence of God
and the eternal damnation into hell of those who have rejected the
offer of salvation.
|
|
That
the one true Church of our Lord Jesus Christ as
distinguished from the State is the whole company of those who have
been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit, that
the local church on earth should take its character from the conception
of the church spiritual and , therefore, that the new birth and
confession of Christ are essential to Church membership.
|
|
That
the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances, Baptism
and the Lord’s supper—to be observed as acts of
obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the
Christian faith. That baptism is the immersion of the believer in water
as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and
resurrection and that the Lord’s Supper is the partaking of
bread and wine symbolizing the Savior's body and blood in remembrance
of His sacrificial death until He comes again.
|
|
The
Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689 as the
document which explains in detail the things most surely believed
amongst us.
