01
Of the Scriptures
The Bible is the Word of God, divinely inspired and supernaturally given from God to men. We hold the King James Version as our authoritative text.
Statement of faith
What we believe
Pressing On Ministries holds an Independent, King James Bible-believing Baptist position. These are the truths Paul preaches without apology.
02
Of the True God
There is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Ghost — equal in every divine perfection.
03
Of the Devil, or Satan
Satan is a fallen angel, the malignant prince of the power of the air, the great enemy of God and man, who shall be judged in the Lake of Fire.
04
Of Creation
We accept the Genesis account of creation literally, rejecting evolution and affirming the direct, divine creation of man and the animal kingdoms.
05
Of the Fall of Man
Man fell from his original holiness by voluntary transgression, and that sin passed to all mankind, leaving every person justly under condemnation without excuse.
06
Of the Virgin Birth
Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary — true God and true man in one person.
07
Of the Atonement for Sin
Christ's death provided a full and vicarious atonement, a substitutionary sacrifice for the redemption of sinners.
08
Of Grace in the New Creation
Salvation requires being born again — an instantaneous new creation in Christ Jesus, brought about by the Holy Spirit.
09
Of the Freeness of Salvation
The blessings of salvation are made free to all by the gospel; nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner but his own voluntary refusal of Christ.
10
Of Justification
Justification includes the pardon of sin and the gift of eternal life, bestowed solely through faith in the Redeemer's blood.
11
Of the Church
A New Testament church is a local, autonomous congregation of born-again believers, immersed on a credible confession of faith.
12
Of Apostleship and Spiritual Gifts
The apostolic office and the sign-gifts (such as tongues and prophecy) served their purpose and ceased with the apostles and the completion of Scripture.
13
Of Eternal Security
Those who are truly born again are kept by the power of God and cannot lose their salvation, though they may lose fellowship through sin.
14
Of the Second Coming
We affirm the pre-tribulational rapture of the church, Christ's return to reign for a millennium, and the final judgment.
15
Of Heaven and Hell
Heaven is the eternal home of the redeemed; Hell is the eternal, conscious punishment of those who reject Christ, finally cast into the Lake of Fire.
