The Bible
We believe the Bible to be the Word of God, inspired and preserved by God, perfect and true. We use the King James Bible in all of our ministries.
Psalm 12:6–7; 2 Timothy 3:15–17; 1 Peter 1:23–25; 2 Peter 1:19–21
Core Beliefs
Rooted in the Word of God.
The following are the core beliefs of Mission View Baptist Church, based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
God
We believe in one holy and loving God, eternal, self-existent, infinite, and immutable, of one nature, essence, and substance, who manifests Himself to man in the Trinity as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Timothy 1:17; James 1:17; 1 John 4:4
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is God in the flesh and the only Saviour of mankind. He lived a sinless life, offered Himself on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice, resurrected bodily, and ascended into Heaven where He now dwells until His return.
John 1:1–14; Romans 5:6–15; Philippians 2:5–11; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 9:24–28
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is a person of the Godhead, presently indwelling and directing believers and advancing the gospel in the world. He is sent to regenerate, sanctify, seal, and indwell all who place their faith in Jesus Christ.
John 3:5–6, 14:16; Acts 1:5; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19–20, 12:13
Salvation
We believe all men are sinners by nature and separated from God. Faith in Jesus Christ is the only hope of salvation. Those who receive Jesus as Saviour are adopted into God's family and given the gift of eternal life.
Acts 16:31; Romans 3:10–23, 6:23, 10:9–10; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5–6
The Church
We believe the local church is Jesus' institution for advancing His gospel, made up of those who have been saved and biblically baptized, gathering for Bible teaching, worship, prayer, fellowship, service, baptism, and communion.
Matthew 16:16–18; Acts 2:41–43; Ephesians 1:12–14, 5:25–30; 1 Timothy 3:4–15
The Last Days
We believe in the literal interpretation of Scripture with a dispensational view of prophecy: the rapture of the church, a seven-year tribulation, the return of Jesus, His literal thousand-year reign, the Great White Throne Judgment, and a new Heaven and new earth.
1 Corinthians 15:51–58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18, 5:1–9; Revelation 19–22
