The following are the core beliefs of Bethel Memorial Church based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
We Believe – in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the original writings.
2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21
We Believe – in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Mark 12:29, John 1:1-4, Matthew 28:19-20, Hebrews 1:1-3
We Believe – that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
Luke 1:26-35, Matthew 1:18-21
We Believe – that Jesus Christ died for our sins as our substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who receive Him by faith are justified and eternally saved. Once someone trusts Christ as their personal Savior that relationship is eternally secure in Him.
John 3:16-18, Romans 5:6-9, Galatians 3:13-14, Ephesians 1:13-14, 1 John 5:11-13, 2 Cor. 1:21-22
We Believe - that the present ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ: to guide, instruct and empower Christians for godly living and service. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts for the believer to use in ministry for the Lord; that some of the gifts, such as speaking in tongues, were used to establish the early church and are no longer operating today.
John 14:16-18, 15:26, Romans 8:9-13, Galatians 5:16:25, 1 Cor. 12:4-11, Ephesians 4:7-16
We Believe – in the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost, the saved destined to a literal heaven, and the lost destined to a literal hell.
Luke 16:19-26, 23:41-43, Philippians 1:21-23, 2 Thes. 1:3-10, Rev. 20:11-15
We Believe – in the imminent, personal rapture of the church and the premillennial return of Christ to the earth to redeem Israel.
John 14:1-3, 1 Thes. 4:15-18, Rev. 20:1-6
We Believe – that water baptism and the Lord’s table are the two ordinances for the church.
Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, Mark 14:22-25, 1 Cor. 11:23-29
