We believe that the King James Bible is the perfect Word of God, inspired, preserved and without any error. We believe every word of God is pure and thus any changes or modernisation to the words of the King James Bible would be a corruption of God’s inspired words. Therefore, the supreme and final authority in all things. (1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Timothy 3:16, Psalms 12:6-8; 2 peter 1:21; Revelation 22:18-19)

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Salvation is by faith alone in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

We believe once saved, always saved. Once a person believes and trusts in Jesus Christ alone, the Bible teaches that it is impossible for a person to lose their salvation. It is everlasting. (John 3:16, John 10:28; John 5:24; John 6:40)

We do not believe that a person must “repent of their sins” or “turn from their sins” to be saved. Salvation is not achieved by cleaning up your life or turning over a new leaf. Salvation is by grace through faith, not of works. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

We believe that every Christian must go out and preach the Gospel to the lost. Liberty Baptist Church Enfield is a soul-winning church. We believe and practice door-to-door soul-winning. We believe that God wants all people to be saved, therefore, we do NOT believe in Calvinism or “irresistible grace”. We believe that an unsaved person cannot be saved unless they hear God’s Word and are given a choice to believe on Jesus Christ or reject the free gift of eternal life. Salvation is a choice made by the individual. (Mark 16:15; Acts 20:20)

We believe that God is one in essence and nature and yet composed of three persons in the Godhead, made up of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and that these three are one. They are co-eternal and equal and execute distinct but harmonious offices. (1 john 5:7; Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14; John 14:10, 26)

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1; Isaiah 9:6), that He was supernaturally begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and is truly, totally God and truly, totally man (Matt. 1:20-21; Luke 1:35-36; 2:10-11). He is the only begotten Son of God (John 1:14; 3:16, 18; I John 4:9) and at the same time God the Son; therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ, sinless, omnipotent, omniscient, Saviour of sinners, King of kings, and Lord of lords. We believe in the literal, physical, bodily resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His literal, physical, bodily ascension into Heaven and in His present work there as High Priest, Mediator, and Advocate for us (Heb. 9:24; 10:20-21; I Tim. 2:5-6; I John 2:1, 2).

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, equal with God the Father and God the Son, and of the same nature. The Holy Spirit was active in the creation (Genesis 1:2); He convicts the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment (John 16:7-11). He bears witness to the truth of the gospel in preaching and testimony. He seeks to glorify Christ in all things (John 16:14, 15). He seals (Ephesians 4:30), endues with power, guides into all truth (John 16:13), teaches, witnesses to our salvation (I John 3:24), sanctifies and helps the believer. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to the church for mutual edification (Ephesians 4:7-16).

We believe each person claiming Christ as Saviour should promptly make public his/her profession of Christ, that each new Christian should follow the Lord’s command for believer’s baptism, that such scriptural baptism is always by immersion (after salvation), that baptism does not save but that it is the Lord’s prescribed way for us to identify ourselves with Him in open confession, that baptism is a symbolic representation, a picture of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (Matt. 10:32-33; 28:18-20; Luke 9:23; Acts 16:30-34; Rom. 10:9-10).

We believe that the Lord’s Supper is the memorial, by the use of unleavened bread and of the fruit of the vine, of the death of Christ until He comes again and that it is to be preceded always by solemn self-examination (I Cor. 11:23-28).

We believe the Genesis account of creation is to be accepted literally, and not allegorically or figuratively. Man was created directly in God’s image (Genesis 1:26,27) and after His likeness. Man’s creation was not a matter of evolution (atheistic or theistic), by change of species by developments through periods from lower to higher forms, but that all life was made directly by God. God’s established law was that they should bring forth only “after their kind”.

We believe that Christians should be separated unto God and separated from the world and that all believers are called into a life of personal separation from all worldly and sinful practices (James 4:4; Rom. 12:1-2; II Cor. 6:14-18).

We believe a Christian should seek to live a life that is clean, holy and above reproach. He should exhibit both attitude and actions to be of good report. Practices which are questionable or which may cause another person to stumble or which may mar the testimony of Christ should be avoided altogether. Therefore, personal standards of manner are expected (Eph. 2:10; 4:1; 5:1-4; Phil. 1:27; 3:14-21; 4:8-9).

We believe Heaven is a real place that is the eternal home of all who by faith claim the salvation of Christ.

We believe Hell is a real place that is the eternal home of all who die without Christ as their Saviour.

We believe in the literal, physical, bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost (I Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 20:5-6), the everlasting blessedness of the saved (Heaven) (John 14:1-3; Rev. 21-22), and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost (Hell) (Luke 16:19-31; Rev. 20:11-15).

WE BELIEVE Satan is a real being, a personal devil, that he is the enemy of God, the ‘father of lies,’ the great deceiver of mankind, the instigator of all false systems of religion, and that both he and all his followers will ultimately be cast into the lake of fire (II Cor. 11:13-16; Ephesians 2:2; II Cor. 4:3-4; Rev. 20:2).

We believe in a post-tribulation-pre-wrath rapture.  The dead in Christ shall be raised first and receive glorified bodies, and then the living in Christ shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. The rapture takes place after the tribulation, but before God pours out His wrath on the Earth. (I Thess. 4:13-18; II Thess. 2:1-3; Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21; Revelation 6 & 7, John 14:1-6; Titus 2:13 )
