Ridgecrest Baptist Church

The following list highlights our most basic beliefs:
1. The Bible alone is the Word of God, without error and completely reliable.
2. There is one God in three persons [Father, Son, Holy Spirit], co-equal,
co-eternal, and worthy of worship.
3. God is the creator all things and providentially rules over it all.
4. People are made in the image of God and are of infinite worth and value to Him.
5. All people are separated from God by their sins, being sinners by nature and
choice.
6. Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully human and fully God; God in the
flesh.
7. Jesus lived the life that we should live, but can't--a life of perfect obedience to
God.
8. Jesus died the death we deserve to die--absorbing God's holy wrath as the
substitute for sinful humanity--and rose again.
9. Salvation is a gift of God by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ
alone.
10. Christians are responsible to love God and disciple all nations.
11. The Holy Spirit indwells Christians empowering them to live holy lives in service
to Jesus.
12. The local church is God's plan for carrying out His redemptive work in the
world, displaying His wisdom and bringing Him glory.
13. Jesus is coming back again some day to judge all people on the basis of what
they've done.
14. All people will spend eternity somewhere, either with God in His glory or
experiencing His wrath in Hell.
