What We Believe

  • We believe that Salvation is by grace through faith, plus nothing, minus nothing.  Being born again by believing (trusting) in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only requirement for salvation.  We reject “works salvation” in all forms!
  • We believe that the King James Bible is the inspired/preserved word of God without error, and reject modern corrupted Bible versions.
  • We believe in the eternal security of the believer(once saved, always saved).
  • We believe that the unsaved will spend an eternity in torment in a literal hell.
  • We believe in the Trinity.
  • We believe that Jesus is God, and that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins on the Cross and Rose again the third day.
  • We believe only in the local church and reject the teaching of the universal church.
  • We believe in the autonomy of the local church. This means that we are independent of all denominations, conventions, and fellowships, and movements.  Jesus Christ is the head of the local church, not a Pope, Prophet, President, or Board of directors.
  • We believe that life begins at conception (fertilization) and reject all forms of abortion including surgical abortion, “morning-after” pills, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), birth control pills, and all other processes that end life after conception.
  • We believe that sodomy and transgenderism is a sin and an abomination before God! In order to protect our children, no sodomite nor transgender will be allowed to attend the Temple Baptist Church.
  • We reject the teachings of Calvinism and believe that God wants everyone to be saved.
  • We reject dispensationalism and believe that salvation always has been and always will be by grace through faith.
  • We believe that the Lord will return after the tribulation, but before the wrath of God is poured out on the earth.
  • We oppose worldliness, modernism, formalism, liberalism, pentecostalism, and ecumenicism.
  • This is not an all inclusive list; we believe anything and everything found in the King James Version of the Bible.
