multitude of
people, shall be called and
regenerated by the Holy
Spirit. 2Tim.1:9; Gal.4:6; John

preserved in grace and
shall never fall eternally. John

Jude 1; Hebrews 10:10,14; Romans

VIII. We believe that baptism and
the Lord’s Supper are
ordinances of Jesus Christ, that
repentant believers are
the only proper subjects of baptism,
and that immersion
is the only Scriptural mode. Mark
1:9; Romans 6:4;
Acts 2:38; Acts 8:36-39; Matthew

ordained ministers have
the right to administer the

members of the church
have the right to commune at the
Lord’s Table, and that
the saints should wash each other’s
feet. Mark 3:14;
1Timothy 4:14; Luke 22:14; John 13:5

the dead and a
general judgment. We believe the
punishment of the
wicked is everlasting and the joy of
the righteous is
eternal. John 5:28-29; Matt.25:46
