What
We Believe About The Bible
"These
are the Old and the New Testaments: They were
written by holy men, inspired by the Holy
Spirit, and are God's revealed word to man.
They are sufficient and infallible rule and
guide to salvation and all Christian worship
and service. Since the Bible is the Word of
God, it is without error in all matters upon
which it speaks, whether history, geography,
matters relating to science or any other subject.
II Peter 1:18-21;
II Timothy 3:16,17; Ex. 4:15; Psa. 32:8; Heb.
1:1, 2.
We believe that the King James Version of
the Bible is the most accurate translation
available to the English speaking people of
the world today. Other versions, such as the
NASV, may be adequate for reading and understanding,
but the King James Version is more closely
associated with the original manuscripts.
We
believe that the Human writers of the scriptures
were chosen by God and filled with the Holy
Spirit enabling them to write the Very Words
that God Himself wanted written. Every word
in the Bible is exactly what God wanted written.
That's why it's called "God's Word".
What We Believe About God
"The Scriptures teach that there is only one
true and living God, who is Spirit, self-existent,
eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient,
omnipotent, independent, good, wise, holy,
just, and merciful, the ...Creator, Preserver,
and Governor of the Universe; the Redeemer,
Savior, Sanctifier, and Judge of men; and
the only proper object of worship. The mode
of His existence, however, is a subject far
above the understanding of man - finite beings
cannot comprehend Him. There is nothing in
the universe that can justly represent Him,
for there is none like Him. He is the fountain
of all perfection and happiness. He is glorified
by the whole creation, and worthy to be loved
and served by all intelligence.
What We Believe
About Divine Government & Providence
God
exercises a providential care and superintendence
over all His creatures, and governs the world
in wisdom and mercy, according to the testimony
of His Word.
God has endowed man with power of free choice,
and governs him by moral laws and motives;
and this power of free choice is the exact
measure of man's responsibility
All events are present with God from everlasting
to everlasting; but His knowledge of them
does not in any sense cause them, nor does
He decree all events which He knows will occur.

Branch Chapel FWB Church
Is A Free Will Baptist Church
Branch
Chapel FWB is a Free Will Baptist Church,
as such, it is committed to the proclamation
of the True Gospel of Jesus Christ. How do
we know what is truth? If the Bible says it,
it is truth!
We do not create doctrine as such, we try
to follow the scriptures. Any doctrine we
may have is based totally on the scriptures.
If our church doctrine disagrees with anything
in the scriptures, the doctrine is wrong!
If
you disagree with what we as FWB believe,
it had better be based on your understanding
of God's word and therefore be backed up with
scriptures. If not, you do not disagree with
us. You disagree with God!!
Free
Will Baptist believe in the Free Will of the
Believer to accept God's gracious gift of
salvation through faith in his only begotten
Son, Jesus Christ.
This
gift of Salvation is not based on any works,
before salvation, nor after salvation. It
is based on God's free gift to all mankind,
if they would only believe Jesus is who He
said He is.
