Statement of Faith
Louisiana
Baptist University is founded on the following doctrines. We
believe:
In the plenary inspiration and authority of the Scriptures;
that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man, the way to receive
salvation, and God's plan and purpose in the past, present,
and in eternity.
In the Holy Trinity--God the Father, God the Son, and God the
Holy Spirit.
In the deity, virgin birth, and bodily resurrection of Jesus
Christ.
That salvation is by Grace. That the conditions to salvation
are repentance and faith. That people are justified by faith
alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the
merit of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In the everlasting, conscious reward for the saved and the everlasting,
conscious punishment of the lost.
In the visible, personal, and premillennial return of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
That the New Testament church is a local body of baptized believers
who are covenanted together to make disciples, baptize and teach
them Christian principles.
In the ordinance of baptism by immersion of the believer in
water, by the authority of the local church, to show the death
and burial of the old life, and resurrection to walk in the
new life of the Christian.
In the Lord's Supper as an ordinance to be observed by the local
church in the church's capacity to show forth the central importance
of the Lord's death, Resurrection and Second Coming.
In
the Genesis account of creation, and that it is to be accepted
literally and not allegorically or figuratively. That God
created all life forms and established divine law that all
things shall bring forth only “after their own kind.”
In the biblical description of the existence of Satan, the
adversarial spirit, who acts as tempter and accuser and who
is an enemy of the work of God in Creation and human affairs.
