ARTICLES OF FAITH  (These Articles of Faith are those adopted by this church when it was constituted in 1934) 1. We believe in one true and Living God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. 2. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are of Divine origin and are our only rule of faith and practice. 3. We believe that sinners are justified in the sight of God only by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ. 4. We believe in the doctrine of original sin, and all of Adam's posterity are sinners by nature and by practice. 5. We believe in the doctrine of unconditional election of the children of God and that they were predestinated to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ as taught in the scriptures; but we reject the doctrine that God predestined or decreed sin. 6. We believe that a knowledge of salvation is manifested to the heirs of promise by the direct operation of the Holy Ghost in their hearts. 7. We believe that baptism by immersion, the Lord's Supper, and the washing of the saint's feet are ordinances of the church commanded by Jesus Christ, and should be practiced by His people in a church capacity. 8. We believe that the mortal bodies of all mankind, who die in this time world, are laid in the grave, or elsewhere, will be raised at the return of Jesus Christ, some to everlasting life and some to everlasting shame and contempt. 9. We believe that the joys of the righteous and the punishment of the wicked will be eternal. 10. We believe that no minister shall administer the ordinance of Baptism until he has been regularly baptized and has come under the imposition of the hands of the presbytery by the authority of the Primitive Baptist Church. 11. We believe that none but regularly baptized believers have a right to commune at the Lord's table. 12. We believe it to be disorderly for members of the Lord's Church to unite with any secret order or institution of the day.
