WE ARE AN OLD-PATHS INDEPENDENT BAPTIST CHURCH
We do not say that we are "old-fashioned," but timeless in our biblical doctrinal stand. We strive to stick to the "old paths"
of tried and true faith on a tried and true Saviour as revealed in His tried and true Word.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
The FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH was started in April, 1986 in Seffner, FL and moved to its current location in 2001.
Below is a synopsis of our core beliefs, our "Statement of Faith."
1. The Holy Scriptures. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible, preserved and God-breathed and, therefore, are the sole authority for faith and practice. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Authorized Version of 1611, King James Bible is the Divinely preserved and perfect Word of God for the English language, and shall be the only Bible used by the church. Scripture stands in judgment of men; never do men stand in judgment of it.
2. We believe that the Scriptures interpreted in their natural, literal sense reveal divinely determined dispensations or rules of life which define man’s responsibilities in successive ages. These dispensations are not ways of salvation, but rather are divinely ordered stewardships by which God directs man according to His purpose.
3. The Fall of Man. We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God; but that in Adam’s sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. Man is depraved and, of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. Because all men were in Adam, a nature corrupted by Adam’s sin has been transmitted to all men of all ages, Jesus Christ being the only exception. All men are thus sinners by nature, by choice, and by divine declaration.
4. The Godhead. We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections. There is but one living and true God; infinite, and all-knowing, perfect in all His attributes, one in essence, eternally existing in three Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – each equally deserving worship and obedience.
5. Man. We believe that man was directly and immediately created by God in His image and likeness. Man was created free of sin with a rational nature, intelligence, volition, self-determination, and moral responsibility to God. God’s intention in the creation of man was that man should glorify God, enjoy God’s fellowship, live his life in the will of God, and by this accomplish God’s purpose for man in the world.
6. Salvation. We believe that salvation is wholly of God by grace on the basis of the redemption of Jesus Christ, the merit of His shed blood, and not on the basis of human merit or works. This forgiveness of sin is called the new birth, and all who are truly born again are kept by God. We believe that all sins, except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, are forgivable.
a. Sovereignty, Foreknowledge, Election & Predestination. We teach that sovereign election does not contradict or
negate the responsibility of man to repent and trust Christ as Saviour and Lord.
i. We believe that the sovereignty and foreknowledge of God, along with predestination are clearly taught in
Scripture. Because God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, He knows all, sees all and governs all. We
believe that there should be no teaching that minimizes or eliminates God’s sovereignty.
ii. We believe that election should not be looked upon as based merely on abstract sovereignty. God is truly
sovereign, but He exercises this sovereignty in harmony with His other attributes, especially His omniscience, justice,
holiness, wisdom, grace, and love. This sovereignty will always exalt the will of God in a manner totally consistent
with His character as revealed in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.
iii. We reject all five points of the T.U.L.I.P. as unscriptural. We judge fatalism and Calvinism to be an overemphasis
and an exaggeration of the sovereignty of God to the point that it eliminates human responsibility in salvation,
making it unscriptural.
7. The Church. Freedom Baptist Church is a fundamental, independent Baptist Church. The term fundamental means that we believe in ministry based upon the Scriptural precepts and patterns of the New Testament. This fundamental approach places a strong emphasis on: the inspiration, preservation and reliability of the Scriptures in the King James text, God’s Simple Plan of Salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the straight forward, plain preaching and teaching of Bible precepts and principles, and the responsibility of believers to be obedient to God’s commands. Independent refers to the fact that our church is self-governing and is not a member of any convention, association, or fellowship that might usurp the headship of Christ over His local church. Though distinct, our church has many like-minded churches with which we fellowship. As far as the name Baptist, it is not to signify a denominational affiliation but rather to identify us with the historic Baptist distinctives of doctrine and conduct.
a. We believe that the local church, which is the body and the espoused bride of Christ, is solely made up of born-
again persons.
b. We believe that the church is thus a unique spiritual organism designed by Christ. The church is distinct from
Israel, a mystery not revealed until this age.
c. We believe that the establishment and continuity of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New
Testament Scriptures and that New Testament believers are directed to join themselves together in local assemblies.
d. We believe in the autonomy of the local church free of any external authority or control.
e. We believe that the One supreme authority of the church is Christ and that church leadership, gifts, order,
discipline, and worship are all appointed through His sovereignty as found in the Scriptures. The biblically designated
officers serving under Christ and over the assembly are pastors (also called bishops, elders and pastor-teachers) and
deacons, both of whom must meet biblical qualifications. We believe that pastors lead or rule as servants of
Christ and have His authority in directing the church. The congregation is to submit to their biblical leadership.
f. We recognize water baptism and the Lord’s Supper as the only scriptural ordinances of obedience for the church in
this age and that the Lord's Supper is to be restricted to the membership of the church administering the ordinance.
g. We believe that the purpose of the church is to glorify God by building itself up in the faith, by instruction of the
Word of God, by fellowship, by keeping the ordinances and by advancing and communicating the gospel to the entire
world.
h. We reject the Health, Peace and Prosperity philosophy that is prevalent among those who identify themselves as
Charismatics. It is not always God’s will to deliver us from sickness, sorrow and death but it is always His will to use
these trials to strengthen us and prepare us to minister to others. We believe that no one possesses the gift of
healing today, but that God does hear and answer the prayer of faith and will answer in accordance with His own
perfect will for the sick, suffering, and afflicted.
8. Sanctification/Separation. We believe that separation from sin is clearly commanded throughout the Old and New Testaments, and that the Scriptures clearly indicate that in the last days apostasy and worldliness shall increase (II Corinthians 6:14-7:1; II Timothy 3:1-5). We believe that all Christians are called from a life of worldly and sinful practices, to be separated unto God and to a life that is useful unto Christ. We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Saviour and Lord or their church. God commands His people to separate from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations, and to refrain from all immodest and immoderate appearances, piercings, and bodily markings.
9. The Rapture of the Church. We believe in that blessed hope, the personal, imminent return of Christ Who will rapture His church prior to the seven-year tribulation period. We reject the mid-tribulation, post-tribulation and pre-wrath rapture views as unscriptural. Each of these views respectively insist that saints await the coming of Antichrist instead of Christ. This false teaching leaves no room for the “at-any-moment” return of Christ for His church. The blessed hope of the church is the coming of Christ.
10. The Tribulation Period. We believe that following the removal of the church from the earth the righteous judgments of God will be poured out upon an unbelieving world, and that these judgments will be climaxed by the return of Christ in glory to the earth. At that time the Old Testament and tribulation saints will be raised and the living will be judged. This period includes the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy.
11. The Second Coming and the Millennium. We believe that, after the tribulation period, Christ will come to earth to occupy the throne of David and establish His messianic kingdom for 1,000 years on the earth. During this time the resurrected saints will reign with Him over Israel and all the nations of the earth. This reign will be preceded by the overthrow of the Antichrist and the False Prophet, and by the removal of Satan from the world.
12. The Judgment of the Lost. We believe that following the 1,000-year reign of Christ, Satan and his army will be devoured by fire from heaven. Following this, Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, whereupon Christ, who is the Judge of all men, will resurrect and judge the great and small at the Great White Throne Judgment. We believe that this resurrection of the unsaved dead to judgment will be a physical resurrection, whereupon receiving their judgment, they will be committed to an eternal conscious punishment in the lake of fire.
13. Eternity. We believe that after the closing of the millennium, the temporary release of Satan, and the judgment of unbelievers, the saved will enter the eternal state of glory with God, after which the elements of this earth are to be dissolved and replaced with a new earth, wherein only righteousness dwells. Following this, the heavenly city will come down out of heaven and will be the dwelling place of the saints, where they will enjoy forever fellowship with God and one another. Our Lord Jesus Christ, having fulfilled His redemptive mission, will then deliver up the kingdom to God the Father.
14. Creation. We believe the literal, grammatical-historical interpretation of Scripture which affirms the belief that the opening chapters of Genesis present creation in six literal days. We reject the theory of evolution, the Gap Theory, the Day-Age Theory, and Theistic Evolution as unscriptural theories of origin along with all other unscriptural theories of origin. It is true that the Creation shows amazing intelligent design but to recognize the intelligence and design involved in Creation and fail to acknowledge and worship the God of Creation is a serious issue.
15. Civil Government. We believe that God has ordained and created all authority consisting of three basic institutions: 1) the home, 2) the church, and 3) the state. Every person is subject to these authorities, but all (including the authorities themselves) are answerable to God and governed by His Word. God has given each institution specific biblical responsibilities and balanced those responsibilities with the understanding that no institution has the right to infringe upon the other. The home, the church, and the state are equal and sovereign in their respective biblically assigned spheres of responsibility under God.
16. Love. We believe that we should demonstrate love for others, not only toward fellow believers, but also toward both those who are not believers and those who oppose us. We are to deal with those who oppose us graciously, gently, patiently, and humbly. God forbids the stirring up of strife, the taking of revenge, or the threat or use of violence as a means of resolving personal conflict or obtaining personal justice. Although God commands us to abhor sinful actions, we are to love and pray for any person who engages in such sinful actions.
17. Missions. We believe that God has given the church a great commission to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. As ambassadors of Christ we must use all available means to go to the foreign nations and not wait for them to come to us. In light of the clear command of Scripture, we believe it is our responsibility to reach our Jerusalem (local area) while at the same time reaching beyond our locale into our Judea, Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. We believe in giving financially to support missionaries of like faith and practice both at home and on foreign fields. We believe in supporting missionaries prayerfully. We believe that mission agencies can be a blessing to assist local churches in getting their missionaries to the field and assisting the missionaries both in preparation for the field and continuation on the field, as long as the missionary himself is commissioned and sent out by the authority of a Baptist church of like faith and order.
18. Giving. We believe that every church member, as a steward of that portion of God’s wealth entrusted to him, is obligated to support his local church financially. We believe that God has established the tithe as a basic guideline for supporting the ministry of the local church, but that every Christian should also give other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully to the support of special projects of the church, the relief of those in need, and the spread of the Gospel. We believe that a Christian relinquishes all rights to direct the use of the tithe or offering once the gift has been made. By applying for membership in the Freedom Baptist Church, the candidate affirms that they are in complete agreement with this Statement of Faith and Doctrine. The candidate further agrees that any deviation from this Statement at any time during their membership will be grounds for immediate revocation of their membership from this church.
This is only an abridged version of our Statement of Faith, a complete SOF with additional points and all Scripture references may be obtained, at the sole discretion of our church, by contacting us.
We do not say that we are "old-fashioned," but timeless in our biblical doctrinal stand. We strive to stick to the "old paths"
of tried and true faith on a tried and true Saviour as revealed in His tried and true Word.
