The purpose of Hillcrest Baptist Church is to seek to know God and to make Him known to others. We unite ourselves in obedient submission to His authority as expressed in His Word so that He may reveal Himself and His will to us. We covenant with Him to do His will in the power of the Holy Spirit for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We Believe
1.
in one God, ruler over all, a triune Godhead, revealed to us as the Creator, Redeemer, and Holy Spirit;
2.
that the Holy Scriptures as divinely inspired are the Word of God; that they are our all sufficient guide in faith and practice;
3.
that the Holy Scriptures as divinely inspired are the Word of God; that they are our all sufficient guide in faith and practice;
4.
that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ, and not of ourselves; grace is the gift of God;
5.
that people must be reborn by the power and work of the Holy Spirit and justified by imputed righteousness, a gift of God to believers in Christ only, and when once saved, we have eternal life in Christ;
6.
that the first day of the week is the Christian Sabbath and the Lord’s Day, that it should be kept sacred and holy as unto the Lord, that it is to be religiously observed by the church collectively and by the individual members thereof;
7.
that there are only two positive ordinances given to the church by its great Head, Jesus Christ; they are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper; Baptism is to be administered to believers only, and the Lord’s Supper is to commemorate the death of Christ until He comes again;
8.
that the visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers who upon profession of their faith in Christ as their only Savior, associated by covenant in faith and fellowship of the Gospel, observing the ordinances of Christ, governed by God’s laws, and exercising the gifts, rights and privileges invested in them by the Word; and that its only proper and spiritual officers are pastors and deacons; and
9.
that there will be a bodily resurrection of both just and unjust and that all will appear at the judgment seat of Christ to be judged according to the deeds done in the body; in the final separation of the wicked from the righteous, we believe that the wicked shall go away into eternal punishment and the righteous into eternal life.
