Our Beliefs
We are a Fundamental Independent Baptist Bible School, who believes in discipling and seeking the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe in the King James Bible as the authority of God’s Word.
Our Main Mission is to fulfill the
Great Commission of Jesus Christ in teaching all nations God’s Words of
salvation in all truth according to His Holy Bible that He has given to
mankind. Our purpose and goal is to see all mankind come to a saving knowledge
of Jesus Christ and that all will grow and mature spiritually in His kingdom.
Doctrinal Beliefs of the Dover Baptist Bible Correspondence School
SECTION 1 - THE BIBLE: We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to
be the inspired Word of God, inerrant, complete and final revelation of God’s
will to man, and the supreme standard to all faith and life. (Isaiah 40:8; II
Timothy 3:16, 17; John 10:35; II Peter 1:19-21). We believe the King James
Bible, AV 1611, to be the inerrant Word of God, providentially preserved and
transmitted to the people of our time. We believe it is unique in its unerring
portrayal of the exact rendering of the original Text, and that it reigns
Supreme, having no rival among all English Translations of the world. We do not
believe there is any need to revise, update, correct, better explain, or change
in any way, the present King James Bible, AV 1611.
SECTION
2 - GOD: We believe in one God, omnipotent, omniscient, and
omnipresent, manifesting himself in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit; one in nature, attributes, power, and glory. (Genesis 1:1; Mark 12:39;
Mathew. 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14; John 1:1-4, 14; John 5:17-27; Philippians
2: 6-11).
SECTION
3 - JESUS CHRIST: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten
by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and that He is true God and true
man. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1-4, 14; John 5:17-27; Philippians 2:6-11).
SECTION 4 - MAN: We believe that man was created in the image and likeness
of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also
spiritual death, which is separation from God; that all human beings are born
with a sinful nature and are sinners in thought, word, and deed. (Genesis 1:26;
2:7-9, 16, 17; 3:1-9; Psalm 14:3, 4; 51:5; 58:3; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3).
SECTION 6 - REGENERATION: We believe that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by
faith are born again by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God, and thereby
become children of God. (John 3:3-8, 14-16, 1:12, 13, 5:24; 10:28, 29; I Peter
1:23; II Peter 1:4-7; I John 3:1-3).
SECTION 7 - THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the
Holy Spirit is a divine person, and the administrator of the things of God:
convincing of sin, revealing Christ, teaching the truth, restraining evil,
energizing believers in prayer, worship and service, and is ever present in the
believer as our comforter and helper. (Psalm 139:7-12; John 7:38, 39; 15:26;
16:13, 14; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 6:19; II Thessalonians 2).
SECTION
8 - SATAN: We believe in the reality and personality of Satan: that
he is a created being of beauty and power, the prince of this world, the god of
this age, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience; that
he fell through pride, and that he will be judged and cast into the lake of
fire. (Ezekiel 28:12-18; Isaiah 14:12-14; Job 1:6, 7; John 8:44; Ephesians 2:2;
II Corinthians 4:4, 11, 13-15; Revelation 20:1-3, 7-10).
SECTION 9 - THE RETURN OF
CHRIST: We believe in the resurrection of the
crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into Heaven, His present life there
for us as our High Priest and Advocate, and His personal, bodily, visible,
pre-millenial return to establish His kingdom on earth, to reign as the only
potentate: the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (Luke 24:26-43; John 20:24-29;
Acts 1:9, 10; I Corinthians 15:20-25; I Timothy 6:14, 15; Revelation 1:7;
19:11-16; 20:6).
SECTION 10 - THE RAPTURE OF
THE CHURCH: We believe that at
any moment the rapture of the saved may occur, when the Lord Himself shall
descend from heaven. . . .” to catch up His people to meet Him in the air; and
so shall we ever be with the Lord. (John 14:1-3; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I
Corinthians 15:51-58).
SECTION 11 - HEAVEN AND HELL: We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead: the
saved, to a life of eternal glory and bliss in heaven with God; the unsaved, to
eternal judgment of conscious suffering and woe in the lake of fire. (John
5:28-29; Revelation 20:6, 11-15, 21:1-8; Matthew 10:28, 18:8-9, 25:41 and 46;
Mark 9:43-49; II Thessalonians 1:6-9).
SECTION 12 - EVANGELISM: We believe that it is the privilege and responsibility of
every believer to be a personal soul winner and to do his utmost to give the
Gospel of Christ to the whole world. (Mark 16:15-16; Acts 1:8; Matthew 4:19;
John 17:18, 20:21 and II Corinthians 5:20).
OUR RESOLUTION ON SEPARATION: Whereas the practice of inclusivism is infiltrating
fundamentalism, and whereas fundamentalism is a movement of separation, be it
therefore resolved that we re-affirm our historic separatist position by
observing Scripture.
(1)
SEPARATION FROM DOCTRINAL SCHISMATICS AND APOSTATES:
1. “Mark them” (Philippians 3: 17-18).
2. “Avoid them” (Romans 16: 17-18).
3. “Identify them’! (I Timothy 1:20; II
Timothy 1:15, 4:14).
4. “From such turn away” ( I I Timothy
3: 5) .
5. “Reprove them” (Ephesians 5: 11).
6. “Have no fellowship with them”
(Ephesians 5: 11).
7. “Be not unequally yoked together
with” (I I Corinthians 6: 14-16)
8. “Come out from among them” (I I
Corinthians 6: 17).
9. “Reject them” (Titus 3: 10).
(2) SEPARATION FROM
DISOBEDIENT SAINTS AND APPEASERS:
1. “Note that man” (I I Thessalonians
3: 14).
2. “Withdraw yourself” (I I Thessalonians
3: 14).
3. “Have no company with” (I I
Thessalonians 3: 14).
4. “Rebuke them sharply” (Titus 1: 13).
5. “Admonish him as a brother” (I I
Thessalonians 3: 15).
6. “Count him not an enemy” (I I
Thessalonians 3: 15).
7. “Keep not company” (I Corinthians 5:
11).
8. “With such an one, no, not to eat”
(I Corinthians 5: 11).
(3) SEPARATION IN SOUL-WINNING ACTIVITY:
Jude 22-23, “And of
some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling
them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” Be it
further resolved that while’ adhering to this separatist position, we “let
brotherly love continue” - Hebrews 13:1.
SECTION
14 - ORDINANCES: We believe that there are two ordinances of the
Church: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We-believe that believer’s baptism by
immersion is the scriptural mode. (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; I Corinthians
11:23-32 and Matthew 3:16).
SECTION 15 - ETERNAL SECURITY: We believe that all who have truly been born again by the
Spirit of God through faith in Christ are eternally secure. We believe it is
the privilege of all such to be assured of their present salvation and eternal
security. (John 10:20-29, 5:24; II Timothy 1:12; Philippians 1:6 and Romans
8:33-39).
