In a day when the tendency is to seek
unity at any price, BCA proudly identifies itself as an old-fashioned,
Christ-honoring, sin-hating, hell-fire and damnation preaching,
premillennial, soul winning institution that strongly believes the
following: |
| SCRIPTURES
- We believe in the verbal, plenary
inspiration of the entire Bible, both Old and New Testaments. We further
accept the Textus Receptus manuscripts from which came the King James
Bible and accept the King James Bible as the divinely preserved Word of
God in the English language. |
| TRINITY
- We believe that God is a Person, eternally existing as a Trinity,
manifesting Himself in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit. We further believe that these three are one God, but
separate in personality and work. |
| JESUS CHRIST
- We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, eternally
existing yet born of a virgin. Being God, He lived a sinless life whose
death on the cross was both sufficient and substitutionary for the sins of
the whole world. He is both true God and true man, the Savior of the
world. |
| CREATION
- We believe in the creation of the
universe and all things by a direct act of God, apart from any so-called
evolutionary processes. |
| SIN
- We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell through
sin, bringing upon mankind both physical and spiritual death. Mankind is
now totally depraved, incapable of personal salvation and good works
before God and therefore in need of a Savior. |
| SALVATION
- We believe that man is lost and must be born again by the Holy Spirit to
enter heaven. Man is justified by faith alone and is accounted righteous
before God ONLY through the merit of the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is
by grace through faith, minus nothing and plus nothing. |
| CHURCH
- We believe that Jesus Christ founded the local church and it consists of
a group of believers baptized by immersion who have assembled together for
the purpose of edification, exhortation and evangelism as commanded by
Christ in his Great Commission. |
| SECOND COMING
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming again in the air at any
moment to rapture his church and to reward its service. The unbelievers
will be left behind and will go through a seven year period called the
Tribulation, after which Christ will return visibly to the earth to set up
His Kingdom of one thousand years of perfect government and righteous
rule. After this, the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great
White Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from
God forever, while the believers have their works judged at the Judgment
Seat of Christ and will spend eternity in the fullness of joy in Heaven
with the Lord. |
| CITIZENSHIP
- We believe in the loyalty to country and government and the separation
of church and state. |
