at Palm Bay Baptist Church, WE BELIEVE...

        there is one, self-existent God, who exists in three separate persons that are equal in power, glory, and enmity. We believe that He created all things for His good pleasure (Genesis 1, Deuteronomy 6:1, John 1:1, 2 Corinthians 3:17), that the Bible is God's holy, inerrant and inspired word to all mankind (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21), in the depravity of man, which is a result of the sin of Adam and Eve. Because of this sin man is not only separated from God but hostile to Him as well (Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:1-3), that the only way to be made right with God and enjoy Him for eternity is through repenting of our sins, accepting the sacrifice of His son Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins, and believing that God raised Him from the dead (Acts 2:22-41, Hebrews 10, Romans 10:9-10), that God has a plan for each persons life who turns from their sin and embraces Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, to do good works which bring Him glory (John 17:4, 2 Corinthians 5:15, Ephesians 2:10), that Jesus Christ reigns and rules in heaven and that He intercedes on behalf of His people (Hebrews 1:3, Romans 8:3, I John 2:1), that He will return to earth one day to judge the living and the dead and that those who do not know Him as Lord of their life will suffer eternal damnation (Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 25:31-45), that after the judgment there will be a new heaven and a new earth, paradise restored; where God's original plan for mankind will be fulfilled. We believe that God will once again dwell with His people and there will be no more death and no pain (Revelation 21 :1-4, 7), that emotional, relational and spiritual healing and health come through an ever deepening relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit ultimately is the One who guides the Christian into all truth, healing and maturity by applying the finished work of Jesus Christ in the life of the believer (Isaiah 61 :1-3, John16:13).
