Cornerstone Baptist Church
Statement of Faith

We believe...

...that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, and is the all-sufficient and final authority for our faith and practice.

...in one God eternally existing in one essence, yet three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

...that Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man, was born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect, sinless human life, died and rose again after three days, ascended into heaven, and sits now at the right hand of the Father interceding for the saints.

...that the Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son; that He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; and that He ministers to the believer.

...that salvation is wholly the work of God, and that it is by grace through faith in the work of Christ alone, resulting in right standing before God.

...that all people are sinners by nature and by choice, and are therefore spiritually dead and in need of a Savior.

...that the church is the body of Christ, consisting of believers who meet locally for worship, growth, and service to God.

...in God's creation of the universe out of nothing by His spoken Word in six 24-hour days, and His creation of mankind.

...that all people will face final judgment: believers to eternal life in heaven, and unbelievers to eternal punishment in hell.

...in the bodily resurrection or rapture of all believers and that Jesus Christ will one day return to establish His kingdom.
