Our Beliefs

Our Beliefs

 

MCBC is a by heritage and by choice a Southern Baptist Church who accepts the 2010 Baptist Faith and Message as a statement of our beliefs.  What follows is a brief overview of our beliefs.  Please contact the church if you would like a copy of the 2010 Baptist Faith and Message.

God:
There is one and only one living and true God. The eternal God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

The Bible:
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is the record of God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. 

Jesus:
Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus perfectly revealed and did the will of God, taking upon Himself the demands and necessities of human nature and identifying Himself completely with mankind yet without sin. He honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and in His death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of men from sin. He was raised from the dead with a glorified body and appeared to His disciples as the person who was with them before His crucifixion.  He ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where He is the One Mediator, partaking of the nature of God and of man, and in whose Person is effected the reconciliation between God and man. 

Man:
Man was created by the special act of God, in His own image, and is the crowning work of His creation. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race.

Salvation:
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. 

The Church:
 A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body of baptized believers who are associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ, committed to His teachings, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth.

Baptism:

Biblical baptism is the immersion of a believe in the water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  This represents the dead, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Baptist does not save an individual, but is rather their first public testimony of their new faith in Jesus Christ.

Lord's Supper:

The Lord's Supper is celebrated in remembrance of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The Lord's Supper is celebrated by believers to remember the sacrifce of Jesus Christ, the love that motivated Him, and His complete obedience to the will of the Father.
