What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of Liberty Bible Baptist Church based on the foundational truths taught in the King James Authorized Version of the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Word of God), and God the Holy Spirit. He, as the Word of God, is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory,  praise, and honor.  God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom,  justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

God has revealed Himself to mankind throughout the ages in various ways (visions, signs, dreams, prophets, etc.). All of his creation reveals God to man. In this dispensation of the church age, He revealed Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God until his ascension. Now, he reveals himself through the Holy Spirit and the holy scriptures of the AV1611 King James Version.

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory, pleasure, and fellowship. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations, meant to multiply and replenish the earth. 

When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God and to fracture all of creation ever since. After their fall, man is born under the curse of a fallen nature in Adam's image, unable to redeem himself outside of his free will to choose Christ as his Savior, and be born again into the image of Christ.

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. Jesus rose from the grave, having conquered both death and hell, and is seated at the right hand of the Father in glory.  Salvation is offered as a gift of eternal life to all who believe in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, by faith.  Salvation is by faith alone, in Christ alone.

The Church invisible is the spiritual body of Christ. The local church visible is the earthly representative of the body of Christ, which is sent in the world to magnify the word of God, exalt the glory of God, exhort believers to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and proclaim the gospel to sinners for salvation.

Jesus Christ will come in a pre-tribulational rapture to catch away his bride, the Church/body of Christ, to be judged at the judgment seat of Christ. This ushers in a seven-year Tribulation period, during which God will judge the nation of Israel. Upon its completion, the Lord will come to earth at the second advent to usher in his one-thousand-year Millennial reign on the earth in Jerusalem as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. At the end of this millennial reign, there will be one final judgment called the Great White Throne Judgment, wherein the dead will be cast into everlasting fire, and the living into eternal life.
