Midway Baptist Church
 
A member in the Southern Baptist Convention
and stands firmly on the following beliefs:
 
 


There is one God, manifest in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
 


That Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave and ascended into Heaven on the third day; 
 



In the literal, imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth; 
 



That the Bible is the Word of God without any error,
the sole authority for life; 



That man is a special creation of God, made in His image; 



That mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and that all
men are sinners by nature and by choice and in need of salvation; 



That salvation is a gift given through repentance toward
God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; 
 



That those persons who die in their sins spend eternity in
Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven
spend eternity in Heaven; 
 



That baptism is in obedience to the command of Christ
and is by immersion after salvation; 
 



That the church is a local body of baptized believers with
the Lord Jesus Christ as the head; 
 



That each believer has direct access to God
through the Lord Jesus Christ; 
 



In the separation of church and state, but not in the
separation of God and government.
