Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, Inc.
(1) We believe that love one for another as Jesus loves the believer manifests our discipleship, proves our love for God and symbolizes our authority as New Testament churches. Love is therefore the great commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ upon which all others are dependent (Matthew 22:35-40; John 13:34,35; John 15:12; I John 4:7-21; I John 5:1-3; Revelation 2:4,5).
(2) We believe in freedom of worship without interference from the government and affirm our belief in civil obedience, unless the laws and regulation of civil government run contrary to the Holy Scriptures (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:7; Matthew 6:6,7,24; Matthew 16:26; Matthew 22:21; John 8:36; Acts 4:19,20; Romans 6:1,2; Romans 13:1-7; Galatians 5:1,13; Philippians 3:20; I Timothy 2:1,2; James 4:12; I Peter 2:12-17; I Peter 3:11-17; I Peter 4:12-19).
(3) We believe that God deals with believers as His children, that He chastises the disobedient, and that He rewards the obedient (Matthew 16:27; Matthew 25:14-23; John 1:12; Hebrews 12:5-11; II John 8; Revelation 22:12).
