There are only three
ways of admitting an individual to membership in a
Baptist Church:
- By Baptism
- By letter from
previous church
- By Christian
experience
What does "Baptist" mean?
The word "Baptist" is a Greek word (Baptizo), which
means to dip, to immerge or plunge into (under) water.
We believe Jesus Christ set the example for Baptism.
"And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came
from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in
Jordan." Mark 1:9
What is a Baptist
Church?
A Baptist Church is a
company of regenerated persons, Baptized by immersion on
a profession of faith in Jesus Christ; united in
covenant for worship, instruction, the observance of
Christian ordinances, and for such services as the
gospel requires: recognizing and accepting Jesus
Christ as their supreme Lord and Lawgiver, and taking
his word as their only and sufficient rule of faith and
practice in all matters of conscience and religion.
What is the Holy
Communion?
The Holy Communion is
one of the doctrines that we as Baptist believe and
practice. It is a highly spiritual rite in which
we recall the suffering and death of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bread and Wine used in the
ceremony are symbolic of His Body, Blood and Suffering.
What does God say
about Tithes and Offerings?"
Bring
Ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be
meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the
Lord of Hosts, If I will not open you the windows of
Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it". Malachi 3:10
The Greater Beallwood
Baptist Church does not participate in fund raisers.
Our Church assessments are "Tithes and Offerings".
Tithes being the first 10% of your Gross Income, time and talents.
Only then is it possible to give an Offering to the
Lord.
