The Bible

God

Jesus Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary and became perfect Man while remaining wholly God. He gave His life on the cross as the only satisfactory payment for all sin; He was buried and three days later rose bodily and literally from the dead, thus proving His deity, and that sin has really been paid for once and for all; He is now seated at the right hand of God the Father from where He will come again.
Matthew 1:18-23; Colossians 1:16-19 & 2:9,10; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 2:11; Romans 1:3-4; I Peter 2:24 & 3:18; Hebrews 9:28 & 10:10-14

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is God, being the Third Person of the Godhead. He indwells all true believers in Christ of this Church Age. He is the Comforter and the inner power of the believer. He also convicts the unbelieving world of its sin of unbelief, of its need for God’s righteousness and of the certainty of coming judgment. He is also the Divine Author of Scripture.
Acts 5:1-4; John 16:7-11; I Corinthians 6:19; II Peter 1:21

Man

The True Church

The True Church is comprised of all true believers of this Age. At the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit baptizes or places all true believers into the body of Christ, the Church. Water baptism, on the other hand, is not a condition for salvation, but is an outward testimony of the believer’s intention to “walk in newness of life.”
Acts 1:8 & 2:1-4 & 10:47; I Corinthians 12:13 & 6:19-20; Ephesians 2:19-22 & 4:5

Salvation

Man is saved by the undeserved mercy of God through faith in Christ; it is a free gift, and nothing of man’s effort or character can bring him salvation. His efforts, regardless how good or well-intended–either before or after he is saved–have nothing to do with saving him. Salvation is by the finished work of Christ and nothing can be added to it.
Acts 13:38-39; Galatians 2:16; Colossians 2:13; Romans 3:22 & 4:5 & 11:6; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5

The Believer's Standing and State

Every true child of God possesses eternal life, being justified by faith, sanctified by God, sealed with the Holy Spirit, and is safe and secure for all eternity; he cannot lose his salvation. However, a Christian can, through sin, lose his fellowship, joy, power, testimony and reward ; and thus incur the Father’s added chastening. Relationship is eternal being established by the new birth; fellowship, however, is dependent upon knowledge of and application of God’s Word to one’s life. Such consistent application produces consistent spiritual growth.
John 6:37,39,47; Hebrews 12:5-11; I Corinthians 3:11-17 & 5:1-5 & 11:30-32; I John 5:9-13

The Christian Life

A true child of God has two births: one of the flesh, the other of the Holy Spirit; thus, the believer has a flesh nature and a Spiritual nature. The flesh nature is neither good nor righteous. The Spiritual Nature does not commit any sin. The result is a warfare between the Spirit and the flesh which continues throughout one’s life. The flesh nature of the believer does not change or improve in any way as a result of the New Birth ,but can and should be controlled and kept subdued by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
John 3:3-7; Galatians 5:16-17; Romans 7:15-25 & 8:4-8; I Peter 1:23; I John 1:8,10 & 3:9 & 5:18

The Resurrections

The Rapture and Second Coming of Christ

The Plan of Salvation

The general plan of salvation as believed and practiced by Fayette Bible Church is as follows:

All men are sinners.
Isaiah 64:6; Jeremiah 17:9; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:10,23; James 2:10.
The penalty of sin is death–separation from God.
Ezekiel 18:20; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; 21:8.
One must be perfect to enter Heaven.
Habakkuk 1:13; Revelation 21:27.
Man can do nothing of himself to obtain this perfection.
Romans 4:5; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8,9.
God provided a sin-bearer in Christ and imputes His own righteousness to the one who believes in Christ.
Isaiah 53:6; II Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 3:9; I Peter 2:24; 3:18.
Man must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as the sole source of salvation in order to be saved; in fact, this is all he can do.
John 1:12,13; 3:16; Acts 13:38,39; 20:21.
The believer in Christ can be certain of his salvation now . Once saved he cannot be lost because eternal life is ETERNAL.
John 6:37-39; 10:28; Hebrews 10:10-14; I Peter 1:5; I John 5:12,13.

Remarks: Of course these are not steps in leading a person to Christ. This is a general plan that has proven very successful in actual practice, the emphasis being shifted from one point to another depending upon the need of the particular individual.
