NLC CONSTITUTION
Our Beliefs
We are Biblicists: we interpret the Bible in a normal, literal
fashion and believe it to be our sole authority for faith and
practice.
Because we are Biblicists we are naturally Independent,
Fundamental, Seperated, Soul-winnning Baptists.
We are Independent in the sense that we are a self-governed
or autonomous congregation.
We are Fundamental meaning that we adhere to the fundamentals
of the faith, e.g. Virgin Birth, Second Coming, Salvation through
faith in Christ, etc.
We are Seperated, out of a love for God, unto God and from any
who would compromise His precious Word.
We are Soul-winning because our Lord left us with a great commission
to reach the world for Christ.
We are Baptists because we believe:
1. The Bible is the sole authority for faith and practice.
2. In a regenerated church membership.
3. The indepedence of each local church.
4. Two ordinances: Baptism by immersion & the Lord's Supper.
5. Priesthood of the believer.
6. Separation of Church & State.
7. Church that is separated from the world.
