About Columbus Baptist Church
-
The purpose of the Columbus Baptist Church is to develop disciples
for Christ in Mansfield Township and surrounding communities by
Evangelizing, Establishing, Equipping, and Exalting.
We believe there is one God, King of the universe, creator of everything, who sustains all things through His sovereign will.
We believe the Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by His Holy Spirit, and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe that all are born into sin and totally unable to save themselves, except by God’s mercy.
We believe that salvation is by God’s grace alone, not by any human endeavor.
We believe that justification is by faith alone.
We believe that Christ (Messiah) is the only mediator of redemption.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who, through His perfect life and sacrificial death upon the cross, atoned for the sins of the whole world.
We believe that God’s Holy Spirit indwells His people transforming the soul, mind and life of all who put their trust in Him.
We believe that the testimony of God’s grace unto salvation is demonstrated by the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
We believe followers of Christ are disciples (students) who adhere to his teaching and live according to the Word of God.
We believe that baptism is a call of obedience to all who have responded to God’s grace unto salvation. Baptism calls to repentance, to faithfulness, and to discipleship.
We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God and obedience to the Word of God.
We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to redeem the righteous of Israel and the nations.
