What we believe:

 

Roebuck Baptist Church is a fellowship in voluntary cooperation with the Spartanburg County Network, the South Carolina Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention. We adhere to the confession of faith as stated in the 2000 edition of The Baptist Faith and Message.

A brief synopsis of our beliefs is given below: 
 

God—We believe that there is one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

 

Jesus—We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, is fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, died in our place as a sacrifice for our sins, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven.

 

Christ’s Return—We believe that Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and ultimately reign as King of kings forever.

 

Holy Spirit—We believe that God the Holy Spirit is active in convincing unbelievers of their need for salvation, and is the Comforter and Guide who lives in every believer, equipping us to do the work of ministry in the church and the world.

 

Bible—We believe that the Bible is the Word of God without any error, and is the sole authority for life and faith.

 

People—We believe that people are the special creation of God, made in His image, but that through the sin of the first man, Adam, mankind fell so that all people are sinners and need salvation.

 

Salvation—We believe that salvation is a gift of God, received by grace through genuine faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Assurance—We believe that every person who is truly saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Eternity—We believe that there are two eternal destinies. Those who die in their sins without Christ spend eternity separated from God, and those who die with their sins forgiven through Christ spend eternity with God.

 
 
Baptism—We believe that water baptism is an act of obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation.

 

 
 
Church—We believe that the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head.

 

 
Prayer—We believe that each believer has direct access in prayer to God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
