| What We Believe |
1. The Bible is the Word of God written without error and is our absolute guide for
doctrinal teaching and godly living.
2. We worship and serve the One True God who revealed Himself in the Bible as three
persons sharing one indivisible essence in the mystery of the trinity, God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
3. Jesus Christ is the unique person having two natures -- the perfection of both God and
Man. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life but
suffered and died in the place of sinful man, was buried and resurrected, ascended bodily
into Heaven, and is preparing to return bodily to earth a second time.
4. The Holy Spirit is God who is actively at work in the world. He dwells permanently in
every Christian, helps us to pray, equips and empowers us to serve God, strengthens and
molds us to be more like Christ, and protects us to guarantee our eternal life.
5. Angels are the innumerable and unseen creatures who serve the causes of God and
His people. Satan and demons are fallen and doomed angels who, with the help of other
evil spirits, promote wickedness and oppose God's purposes.
6. Man is God's creature who bears His image and was originally sinless but through the
first man Adam, all mankind sinned, became separated from God, and totally unable to
gain God's favor of forgiveness and eternal life by self-effort.
7. Salvation is God's act of forgiving sins, reconciling people to Himself, and giving eternal
life to those who believe in Jesus. Salvation is not a reward for good works but a free gift
of God received by faith in Jesus Christ alone.
8. The Church is the universal Body of Christ consisting of all born again Christians made
one by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. To join a local church like PIBC, a person must
have undergone baptism by immersion, agree with the covenant of membership, partake
of the symbols of Christ in Communion, and pledge to help fulfill the church's mission to
make disciples of all nations.
9. Jesus Christ will come again to reign on earth and to reward God's people with life with
Him forever in the new Heaven and Earth and to judge unbelievers with eternal separation
from God and suffering in Hell.
10. Christians have a duty to honor and pray for those in government authority, to pay
taxes, and to help promote the general welfare of society.
