Mount Pleasant Bible Church | What We Believe
The Bible is the verbally inspired, inerrant Word of God and is the ultimate authority in our belief and conduct.
There is one triune God, eternally existing as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Father sending the Son into the world to be the propitiation for our sins.
The Son, who is equally God, became man, born of a virgin, lived among us, died on the cross, was buried, and rose bodily on the third day. He is presently interceding for the saved, and is coming again, first, for the church in the rapture, then to earth to reign as King for a thousand years.
The Holy Spirit sent by the Father to live in the believer, to be his comforter, teacher, and guide in this life. It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that we can live above the reproach of sin.
Man was created by God in His own image and was perfect. Man fell from his perfection by disobedience to God in the Garden of Eden and sin entered the world. As a result, the sin of Adam has passed to all mankind, leaving mankind dead in trespasses and sins.
Man can be restored to communion with God.
When receiving the Lord Jesus as Savior one becomes a new creation that separates them from the world and calls them to a life of obedience that glorifies the Lord.
