🔹 INTRO:
- Ashland Street is an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church
- I’m a Baptist by heritage, history, and choice
- Not just a label—it’s about biblical conviction
What Makes Us Baptist?
Let’s walk through the B-A-P-T-I-S-T acrostic:
B – Biblical Authority
📖 2 Timothy 3:16–17
- The Bible is our final authority
- We believe in the fundamentals: Deity of Christ, Virgin Birth, Blood Atonement, Resurrection, Inerrancy, Trinity
- We have a perfect Bible
A – Autonomy of the Local Church
📖 Acts 20:28
- Self-governed under Christ—not ruled by a denomination
- Our Headquarters is Heaven
P – Priesthood of the Believer
📖 1 Peter 2:9
- No priest needed—we have direct access to God through Jesus
T – Two Ordinances
- Baptism (Acts 2:41) and The Lord’s Supper (1 Cor. 11:26)
- Both are for believers only—pictures of our faith
I – Individual Soul Liberty
📖 Romans 14:12
- Every person is accountable to God
- We teach truth—but no one can be forced to believe
S – Separation & Holiness
📖 2 Cor. 6:14, 1 Peter 1:16
- We’re called to be different—to reflect God’s holiness
T – Two Church Offices
📖 Philippians 1:1
- Pastor and Deacon—servant leaders in the church
CLOSING:
- Why the label “Independent Baptist”? → Labels matter—especially when they identify biblical doctrine
- We’re not just Baptist by name—we’re Baptist by the Book
- Let’s stay faithful to Christ and His Word
