Doctrinal Statement
Landmark Baptist College holds to the doctrines known as the historic doctrines of the Christian faith and in those characterized as the Baptist distinctives.
The Bible
We believe in the original, verbal inspiration and eternal preservation of the Scripture. We believe that the Bible is preserved for the English speaking world in the King James Bible. The Bible is our sole authority in faith and doctrine. The canon, the sixty-six books of the Bible, is complete. The Scripture should be interpreted literally.
The Godhead
We believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Son
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His vicarious and atoning death; in His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the Father’s right hand; and in His personal, premillennial return for His saints and with His saints at the revelation.
Fall of Man
We believe that man is totally depraved, a sinner (lost) by nature and by divine decree; therefore, man is in need of the convicting and regenerating ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Satan
We believe in the personality of Satan; in his power and kingdom; in his wiles; in his judgment at the cross; and in his eternal destruction in Hell.
Freeness of Salvation
We believe that salvation is the gift of God offered to man by His grace and is received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Resurrection
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved unto life and the bodily judgment of the unsaved unto everlasting damnation.
Holy Spirit
We believe that the present ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict the sinner; regenerate the one who believes; to indwell, seal, instruct, reprove, and guide the believer; to fill and control every life that is wholly yielded to Him. We believe that the charismatic movement is based upon a false understanding of the apostolic gifts.
The Church
We believe that a Scriptural church is a visible assembly of baptized believers, covenanted together under the New Testament for the purpose of carrying out the Great Commission. The church is a self-governed, independent body having Christ as the Head, the Holy Spirit for its guide, and the Bible as the only rule of faith and practice. The only Scriptural offices of the church are the bishop (or pastor) and deacons. The two ordinances of the local church are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Separation from the World
We believe that all the saved are called unto a life of separation from worldly and sinful practices. A person who has truly accepted Christ as Saviour is a new creation in Christ; therefore, he should live a holy, consecrated life. He should separate himself from the world and all its lust in obedience to the command of God.
