WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our vision, values and statement of faith
Our vision is to see people have life to the full following Jesus.
Statement of Faith
Levin Baptist Church is a community of those who believe in the Triune God; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; those who are repentant of sin and have been saved by personal faith in Jesus Christ alone through His atoning death and resurrection; those who have publicly confessed their faith ideally through baptism and who are committed to the church.
We believe that:
God is creator of all things and sovereign over all.
God’s fullness exists in three persons of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ achieved full atonement of our sins through his death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ came to earth completely human and completely divine.
The Holy Spirit is the source and power of spiritual gifts given to all believers for personal maturity, service in the church and to the wider community.
Salvation is a gift from God by means of faith in Jesus Christ alone, excluding any personal merit or work.
The Bible is God's written word and the authority for all matters of faith and life.
Baptism is a step of obedience for believers, and will be encouraged as such.
Membership of the church is based on the believers’ commitment to the body of Christ.
The church's mission and purpose is based on Christ's model to seek and save the lost, make disciples and assimilate believers into the body of Christ.
Christ will return to resurrect the dead.
There is future judgment, which has eternal consequences for all of humanity.
