What we Believe
Our mission is
to glorify God by following Jesus and inviting others to join with us.
An Overview
Bethel Baptist Church is an independent Baptist church. Our beliefs are rooted in Scripture above anything else. Read below to see what our core beliefs are at Bethel. If you have questions about what we believe or would like information about following Jesus, please let us know by emailing info@bethelofhillsville.com.
The Bible
We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired and preserved Word of God. The only source of absolute truth available to mankind.
2 Timothy 3:16
2 Timothy 3:16
God
We believe that there is one true and living God that exists in three persons. God is Holy, Infinite, and Sovereign. God the Father is the first person of the trinity and is the source of all things.
Ephesians 4:6
Ephesians 4:6
Jesus
We believe that Jesus is the only begotten son of God. Jesus is fully God and co-equal with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus paid the penalty of sin for the entire world with His sacrifice on the cross.
John 1:1–2
John 1:1–2
Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit to be the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is co-equal with both God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Spirit teaches, guides, and comforts believers while exalting God.
Matthew 28:19
Matthew 28:19
The Devil
The Devil was created by God. He was cast from heaven because of his desire to be as God. He is the author of sin and the open and declared enemy of God and man. He was defeated by Jesus at the cross and is awaiting his final judgment in the lake of fire.
1 John 3:8
1 John 3:8
Creation
We believe that God created the universe in six, literal, 24 hour days as described in Genesis 1. God created man in His image and likeness. We reject any theory that would contradict the Biblical account of Creation.
Genesis 1:1
Genesis 1:1
Sin
We believe that man was created perfect by God, but in a deliberate act of disobedience man fell from his sinless state. Since then all men have been born sinners. Man is completely unable to redeem himself from his own sin and is condemned to an eternity separated from God.
Genesis 3:1–6
Genesis 3:1–6
Salvation
Since man is unable to pay the debt of his sin, he is hopeless. Jesus came to earth and lived a sinless life and sacrificed Himself as the payment for sin. Man can now be saved by believing in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Ephesians 2:8-9
Sanctification
Sanctification is the divine setting apart of believers to God. This work began at salvation, continues for the believers entire life, and is finished when the believer is glorified in Heaven after his physical death.
Ephesians 1:4
Ephesians 1:4
Heaven
We believe that heaven is a literal place of blessedness and joy to which all true believers will go after their physical death. Believers will live in heaven forever and will physically and consciously enjoy the presence of God.
John 14:2-4
John 14:2-4
Christ's Return
We believe in the literal, imminent, pre-tribulation rapture of the church at the return of Jesus Christ. At that time the dead in Christ will rise and those who are alive and make up the church will be caught up to meet Christ in the air.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
The church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ and consist of true believers from Pentecost to the Rapture. The local church is God's agent for evangelism, fellowship, and worship. Christ is the head of the church and the pastor is the under-shepherd.
Ephesians 5:23
