We the members of Second Baptist Church . . .

  1. Believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God.
  2. Believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and called the Godhead in the scriptures, and that in the Lord Jesus Christ dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead Bodily.
  3. Believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
  4. Believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
  5. Believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
