LBC Doctrinal Statement

a. The Bible

The Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, the written record of His supernatural revelation of Himself to man, absolute in its authority, complete in its revelation, final in its content, without error.

b. The God Head

God is one God, who reveals Himself in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Father: Who is Spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in all His attribute.
The Son, Jesus Christ: His deity, virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, personal exaltation at God’s right hand and personal return.
Then Holy Spirit: Who is divine Person, equal with the Father and the Son and of the same nature.

c. The Estate of Man

The fall and lost estate of man, whose total depravity alienates him from God, makes necessary his salvation.

Man’s salvation is only by grace, a free gift of God, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for our sins according to the scriptures. Those who thus are moved by the Spirit of God to receive Christ by faith have their sins forgiven, their hearts cleansed, are born of the Spirit, become the children of God and are made new Creatures in Christ.
Saved, man is assured of eternal blessedness. Lost, man is assured of everlasting punishment in hell.

d. The Church

The church is the bride of Christ. In its universal aspect, it comprises the whole body of those who have been born of the Spirit, and in its local expression, it is established for worship, mutual edification, and witness.

e. The Christian Life

I am a man is to fellowship with his Holy God, his Christian life must be holy. God in His grace has made this life available to man:

He has given him the scriptures that he might see sin and repent.
He has given him the Holy Spirit to convict of sin.
He has given His Son to pay the penalty of sin.
He has given access to His throne of grace that he might confess his sin and be forgiven and cleansed.
Christian living includes Christian service, the winning of souls around us and the preaching and teaching of the gospel in the uttermost part of the earth in order to fulfill Christ’s great commission (making disciples).

In carrying on this work there is needed the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
In all this service prayer is to have a central place.

f. The Christian hope

Jesus Christ will come again to earth a second time. We are to look for His soon coming, yeah, to long for it for He will come personally, bodily and visibly and with power and glory.
