Bible Speaks Ministry

All Scripture in the Old and New Testaments is verbally, plenarily, and inerrantly inspired by God and is the authoritative guide for Christian faith, life, and ministry (2 Timothy 3:16).

There is one God eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is infinite, eternal, and almighty.

Jesus Christ, the Son, is fully God and fully man. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, He lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice, was buried, rose bodily, ascended to heaven, and now sits at the Father’s right hand.

The Holy Spirit, Lord and giver of life, convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and unites people to Christ by faith. He seals and fills all believers.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is given to all who believe in Jesus Christ at salvation. Ongoing filling may follow. Spiritual gifts are for the edification of Christ’s Body and are still active today.

Humanity was created in God’s image, but through free will disobeyed God, bringing physical and spiritual death. Every person is born with a sinful nature and needs divine salvation (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3).

Salvation is God’s gift accomplished through Christ’s substitutionary death. All who believe are justified by His blood. Since salvation is by grace, the believer’s salvation is eternally secure.

Fulfilling the Great Commission is the responsibility of all believers: to reach the lost through hospitality, lifestyle, service, friendship, instruction, testimony, and evangelism.

The Church is the Body of Christ and soon His Bride. It is devoted to worship, service, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. Its central mission is to make disciples of all nations through preaching and teaching God’s Word (Matthew 28:19-20).

Christ will return for His Church. Then will come the tribulation, followed by Christ’s earthly reign for 1,000 years. After final judgment, Christ will establish a New Heaven and a New Earth.
