    PAGADIAN CITY GRACE PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH

    ARTICLES OF FAITH

    1. We believe that there is only One True and Living God who is Eternal,
    Almighty, Unchangeable, of Infinite Wisdom, Power, Justice, Holiness,
    Goodness, Mercy and Truth; who is spoken of in the Scriptures as the
    Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and these Three are One.
    (Deut. 4:35; Jer. 10:10; Ps. 90:2; Dan. 4:35; Mal. 3:6; Ps. 147:5; Jer.
    32:17; Job 37:23; Isa. 6:3; Exod. 34:6; Ps. 116:5; 1 John 5:7)

    2. We believe the Scriptures of the Old and the New Testaments are the
    revealed and inspired word of God and the only infallible rule of faith and
    practice.

    We consider the 1611 King James Version as the best English version and
    prefer it over all other translations.
    (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1: 19-21; Rom. 15:4; Psa. 19:7, 8; John 5:39, Psa.
    12:6-7; Prov. 30: 5, 6; Rev. 22:18, 19)

    3. We believe God created man upright and perfect, able to stand and keep
    the law but liable to fall; and that Adam fell from the state of moral
    uprightness and brought himself and all his natural offspring under just
    condemnation and death; and for that original transgression, we are both
    guilty in the sight of God.

    We believe that man, being totally depraved; have neither will nor ability
    to deliver himself from his fallen state.
    (Ecc. 7:29; Gen. 2:16-17; Gen. 3:12-13; Rom. 5:12; Rom. 3:23; Eph.
    2:1; Rom. 3:10-18; Job 14:4; John 6:44; Rom. 8:7-8; 2 Cor. 2:14)

    4. We believe God unconditionally elected a definite number of persons of


    the fallen posterity of Adam in Christ and ordained them to eternal life
    and glory before the foundation of the world.
    (Rom. 9:11; Rom.8:29; 1 Pet. 1:2; Titus 1:1-2; Eph. 1:4-5)

    5. We believe Jesus Christ suffered and died in the room and stead for His
    elect, and only His elect are justified in the sight of God by the imputed
    righteousness of Christ.
    (2 Cor. 5:21; John 10:11; Rom. 3:24-25; Rom. 5:9; 1 Cor. 1:30; Heb.
    9:12-15; 2 Cor. 5:21)
    6. We believe in the Sovereign, Direct, Immediate and ever Effectual work
    of the Holy Spirit in calling, regenerating and sanctifying the elect of God
    at His appointed way and time.
    (2 Tim. 1:9; John 3:8; Eph. 2:1; John 5:25; Ps. 110:3)

    7. We believe that all the elect shall be preserved in grace by the power of
    God and that none of them shall fall finally away.
    (John 10:29; Rom. 8:30, 37-39; Phil.1:6; John 6:37,39; 1 Peter 1:5)

    8. We believe that Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are Ordinances of the
    Church established by Jesus Christ which are to be perpetually observed
    until His Second Coming and to be administered only by those who are
    clothed with authority of the church, having been regularly ordained.

    We believe that true believers are the only proper subjects and
    immersion in water is the only proper mode and that none except those
    who have been regularly baptized members are admitted to commune at
    the Lord’s Table; and that the washing of the saints’ feet is an example
    of love and humility which should be practiced by the members of the
    church.
    (Mat. 28:19-20; 1 Cor. 11:23-26; Acts 2:42; Acts 8:36-38; Luke 22:19-
    20; John 13:13-17)

    9. We believe every duly organized church is a sovereign and independent


    local body, having exclusive authority to receive and discipline her own
    members. While she should be considerate of her sister churches, she is
    accountable only to Jesus Christ, her Head and King.
    (Mat. 16:18-19; Mat. 18:17-18; 1 Cor. 5:4-5; 2 Cor. 2:6-8; Eph. 1:22)

    10. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, both the just and the
    unjust, and general judgement, and that the joys of the righteous and
    the punishment of the wicked will be everlasting.
    (Acts 24:15; Mat. 25: 31-46; John 5:28-29; Acts 17:31; 1 Cor. 15:42-
    52; Daniel 12:2; 1 Thess. 4:16-18; Rev. 20:11-15)
