Independent Bible Baptist Doctrine (KJV)

[GreenEyedLady]

I thought I would post the doctrines of the IBC (KJV)
I would like to see other Baptist doctrines of faith posted in new threads so that readers understand our doctrines and can ask us about them. Please provide as much scripture as you can in your new thread!

One more thing I wanted to say is that
the words born again and saved are not "baptist" words they are BIBLE words taken directly from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! This is not somthing that we just incorperated into our church, this is what Christ PREACHED!
I don't mind answering questions about these doctrines posted below, but PLEASE read the scriptures provided to back up the doctrines FIRST!
THanks!

Doctrine
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the inspired word of God, the final authority for faith, life and church establishment, inerrant in the original writings, and preserved without error (http://www.biblebaptist.de/sitebody/truth_or_perversion/truth.htm)in the English King James Bible. 2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet. 1:20-21, Psa. 12:6-7, Lk. 21:33, Isa. 8:20.

We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections. Deut. 6:4, 2 Cor. 13:14.

We believe the Father is the one and living God; an infinite and intelligent Spirit. Ex. 20:2-3, Jn. 4:24.

We believe on the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Son of God and God the Son. We believe in his pre-incarnate deity – Jn. 1:1, virgin birth – Lk. 1:35, sinless life – Heb. 4:15, substitutionary death - 2 Cor. 5:21, bodily resurrection - Acts 1:3, ascension - Acts 1:9-11, priesthood – Heb. 2:11, imminent pre-tribulation coming of Christ for his saints - 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 1 Cor. 15:51-58, pre-millennial coming of Christ with his saints to set up his kingdom on earth – Rev. 19.

We believe that the Spirit is a divine Person equal with the Father and the Son - Mt. 28:19. He convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment – Jn. 16:8-11; comforts – Jn. 14:16-11; witnesses - Rom 8:16, and sanctifies - 1 Pet. 1:2.

We believe in the blood atonement of Jesus Christ for sin - 1 Jn. 1:1, Col 1:14, 1 Pet. 1:18-19.

We believe in the existence of Satan who was once a sinless being but fell by pride. Isa. 14:12-l4, Eze. 28:12-18.

We believe in the Genesis account of the direct creation of the universe and man by God, not by the process of evolution. Gen. 1:1, Psa. 8:3, 19:1, Jn. 1:9-10, Rev. 4:11, 14:6-1.

We believe in the voluntary fall of man resulting in the spiritual death, guilt, and fall of the race of Adam. Gen. 3, Rom. 5, Eph. 2:1-3.

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Eph. 2:8-9, Jn. 1:12, 3:16, Acts 20:24, 13:38-39, 15:9-1l.

We believe in the eternal security and assurance of believers. Once saved, we are kept by God's power and are secure in Christ forever. Jn. 6:37, 10:27-30, Eph. 1:13, 4:30. 1 Jn. 5:11-13.

We believe in eternal bliss in heaven for all who are saved through Christ's shed blood. We believe in a literal hell and eternal damnation in the lake of fire for all who are lost. Rev. 20:11-15, Mk. 9:43-48, Lk. 16, Isa. 66.

We believe in the unity of all true believers, which is the body of Christ. 1 Cor. 12:12-14, 2 Cor. 11:2, Eph. 1:22-23, 5:25-27.

We believe in the local church as an assembly of baptized believers gathered together for the purpose of performing the Great Commission. Mt. 28:18-20, Acts 1:8-9, Eph. 5:25, 1 Tim. 3:15, Rom 1:14-16.

We believe that the ordinances of the local church are baptism and the Lord's supper. Baptism: the only biblical mode of believer's baptism is by total immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the command of God - Mt. 28:19, and is a figure of the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Pet. 3:21, 1 Cor. 15:1-4. Lord’s Supper: the commemoration of our Lord's death by the bread and the fruit of the vine is always preceeded by self-examination. 1 Cor. 11:23-28.

We do not accept any form of the Ecumenical or charismatic movement of this day. 2 Cor. 6:14-11, Amos 3:3, 1 Tim. 4:13, 1 Cor. 13:8, 2 Cor. 12:12, 11:4, 13-15, 2 Thess. 2:9.

Thanks for posting that SOF up and sharing it with us all.

I am sure we have many more things that we agree on than disagree on!

Some time we will have to sit down with my hebrew OT and the KJV
side by side and have some fun!

Bless you

Much Love

Pastor George :wave:

[GreenEyedLady]

Bump for others to post thier docrtinal statements.

That is an interesting statement of faith. I will have to find the one for my church and post it.

Like the other poster said. I agree with more of it than I disagree. My question is...which of the statements would the IBC say are required of All Christians?

Is the IBC an actual denomination with a headquarters and all?

quick question on the kjv as i'm looking to purchase one. i know that the 1611 version went thru some revisions (not sure what they were) in the 1600's, most notably at cambridge as well as revisions in the 1700's at cambridge and oxford. i keep hearing references to an "authorized version" that seems to keep with these revisions. as well, i've also noticed bookstores selling the KVJ 1611, which i assume is the original unaltered version. i'd heard that publishers realized that there was a desire for the original version so they started printing the 1611 in larger numbers again.

so, the question: is there a certain "year" designation to purchase? i do have copies of other protestant bibles such as the NIV and catholic versions such as the NAB and douay-rheims but want to make sure i get the correct KJV.

many thanks in advance

[edit] or are the "reivisions" such things as standardizations in spelling and the fixing of printing errors with no changes in actual content?

This is essentially correct. As words became defunct is the English language (or changed their meaning or spelling) revisions were made. I believe this is also true of the D-R version.

I believe the Oxford Press KJV is standard even today.

The NIV is not a translation, it is a paraphrase.

[opus_dei]

excellent. thanks.

[GreenEyedLady]

If it says authorized KJV then you got the right one. They are all the same pretty much except for spelling and grammer corrections.
I would get a study KJV bible. But you have to be careful with those, because the commentaries are not inspired, just someones opinion. It does help to have a study bible.

The NIV is not a translation, it is a paraphrase.

You sure about that? :scratch:

[bleechers]

You sure about that?

Technically, it's a "dynamic equivalency" which is a very academic way of saying that it is not a translation. If you have an NIV, read the opening statements. It doesn't claim to be a word for word translation.

:)

[lucypevensie]

Why does it have to be word-for-word in order to qualify as a translation? Often-times phrase-for-phrase is more accurate.

(But maybe we're getting off topic with the OP here)
