About Us
Bayside Baptist Church is a place where all are welcome. We are more concerned with what we as a church have to offer the community, than what you can do for us. We are a church made up of people of all ages from all walks of life with one thing in common. We love the Lord, and want to show people how they can have a real relationship with the God who loved you so much He gave His life for you. We look forward to seeing you soon.
What we Believe
We believe in the verbal inspiration and infallibility of the whole Bible as originally written, and that the Bible is the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice. (Psalm 119:160, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21)
We believe in the personal triune God: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, co-equal in divine perfection. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:32-35, John 14:16, Hebrews 1:7-8)
We believe in the Genesis account of creaation. Genesis 1,2)
We believe in the virgin birth and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 1:18-20, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 2:22)
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ. (John 10:30, John 1:1, 1:14, 2 Corinthians 5:19)
We believe that miraculous spiritual gifts were done away when the Bible was completed. Faith, Hope, and Love are the abiding Spiritual gifts.(1 Corinthians 12, 13, 14, Micah 7:15)
We believe that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary for all mankind and is efficacious only to those who believe. (Isaiah 53:6, Hebrews 2:9, 1 Peter 3:18, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 John 2:2)
We believe in the bodily resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ and the bodily resurrection of His saints. (Matthew 28:1-7, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Corinthians 15:42-58, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
We believe in the personal, bodily return of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 25:46, John 14:1-6)
We believe that people are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and that the requisites to regeneration are repentance toward God, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 13:3-5, John 3:16-18, Acts 20:21, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9)
We believe that the moment a person repents of his sin and places his faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, he is born again, becomes a child of God, is personally indwelt by the Holy Spirit, receives forgiveness of all his sins and receives eternal life. He is also assured that from the moment of his physical death he will forever be in the presence of Christ, regardless of the degree of his faithfulness to God. This is because he is saved and kept wholly by God’s grace, apart from works. (John 3:36, John 5:24, John 10:27-30, Romans 8:35-39, Hebrews 10:39, 1 Peter 1:5, John 3:6, John 16:8-9, Romans 8:9-11, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Ephesians 2:8-9, Ephesians 4:30, Titus 3:5)
We believe there are two pictoral ordinances in the church, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Scriptural baptism is the full immersion of believers in water. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial ordinance, restricted to the members of that local church observing the ordinance. (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 8:12,38, Romans 6:4 1 Corinthians 5:11-13, 1 Corinthians 11:1-2, 17-20,26)
We believe in freedom of worship without interference from the government and affirm our belief in civil obedience, unless the laws and regulations of civil government run contrary to the Holy Scriptures. (Romans 13:1-7, 1 Peter 2:13-15)
2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
