Edgewood BAPTIST CHURCH BELIEFS 

 ABOUT GOD

We believe in the Godhead exists eternally in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God. We believe God is the absolute creator and ruler of the universe and that creation was by His divine command. We believe God, by His sovereign choice and out of His love for all humanity, God sent His Son Jesus Christ into the world to save sinners.

Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14

ABOUT MAN

We believe that man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character, and likeness of behavior as the supreme object of God's creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates man from God.

Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 591, 2

ABOUT ETERNITY

We believe man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation by the Blood of Jesus. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally connected with God is Heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.

John 3:16; John 2:25; John 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; 1 John 5:11-12; Matthew 25:31-46
