Lighthouse Baptist Church

Plan of Salvation:

Could you say that you are 100 percent sure that you will go to heaven when you die?

#1 Realize that God loves you
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

#2 Realize that ALL men are sinners
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23
(We choose to sin. Our sins separate us from God.)

#3 God's Word also says that sin must be paid for
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

#4 The GREAT news is that
Jesus has PAID for our sins
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

#5 Believe on Jesus today
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9

#6 We pray and receive Christ by faith (as personal Savior)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

"Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that you died on the cross and paid the penalty for my sin. I believe that you rose from the dead three days later. I am placing my faith in you alone to forgive my sin and save me. Thank you for giving me eternal life. In Jesus' name, AMEN."

Please let us know about your decision to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior!

Beliefs:

  • We believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testament as verbally inspired of God, preserved through the King James
        Version of 1611, and that they
    are  the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
  • We believe in one God, eternally existing in three  persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit; and born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
  • We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also
        spiritual death, which is separation from God.
  • We believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in cases of those who reach moral responsibility, they
        become sinners in thought, word and deed.
  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitute sacrifice;
        and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
  • We believe in "That blessed hope", the personal, pre-millennial and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
  • We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there
        for us, as High Priest and Advocate.
  • We believe that all that receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children 
        of God.
  • We believe that the local and visible church is ordained by God with two ordinances to be observed, baptism by immersion 
        for believers and the Lord's Supper.
  • We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting,
        conscious punishment of the lost.
  • We believe that the temporary gifts (such as tongues, healing) were "sign-gifts" until the Scriptures were complete. These
        gifts ceased at that time.
