Doctrinal Statement

Our Beliefs and Positions

  • 1. We believe in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scriptures and use the KJV in our classes. We believe that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man, the way of salvation and God’s plan and purpose in the ages.

  • 2. We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

  • 3. We believe in the deity, virgin birth, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.

  • 4. We believe that salvation is by grace plus nothing and minus nothing. The conditions to salvation are repentance and faith.

  • 5. We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Justification establishes an eternal relationship that can never be broken. We believe that the offer of salvation is made freely to all who believe.

  • 6. We believe in the visible, personal, and premillennial return of Jesus Christ.

  • 7. We believe in the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.

  • Theological Focus

    We hold to the fundamentals of the faith, are theologically conservative, and historically orthodox; we believe a literal, grammatical, historical, contextual hermeneutic is the most natural and God-honoring method of interpreting God’s Word.

  • Ecclesiological Tradition

    Bedford Bible Church exists and functions independent of any denomination but aligns with what is widely understood to be Baptist doctrine and polity. This institute will reflect those traditions which are both faithful and Biblical.

  • Our Eschatological Position

    We believe God’s blueprint of the ages and revelation of end time events is best explained by dispensational premillennialism.
