Who is a Baptist?
All Baptists would say it is more important that you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and that you have a living relationship with God than that youbelong to any particular group of Christians.
WHY BE A BAPTIST?
We do not claim to be the only Christians. You certainly do not have to be a Baptist to get to heaven! But we do believe there are important gospel truths for which we stand.
They are:
- The Lordship of Jesus Christ
- The Church as the gathered company of believers
- Churches associating together
- Believers' baptism
- The authority of the Bible
- The significance of the church meeting
- The priesthood of all believers
- The missionary task
- Religious freedom
