Beliefs
Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church is affiliated with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, the Southern Baptist Convention, and the Brunswick County Baptist Association. We affirm the Baptist Faith and Message which you can see online here. A summary of those doctrines that we hold to are listed below:
II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:21
We believe that the Scripture of both the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired of God, and that they are the supreme and final authority of faith and practice.
Genesis 1:1, John 1:1, John 14:16
We believe in the triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Luke 1:34-35, I Corinthians 15: 12-20, I Peter 3:18
We believe in the Deity of Christ, His virgin birth, substitutionary death and His bodily resurrection.
Ephesians 2: 8-9, Luke 13:3
We believe in Salvation by “Grace” plus nothing and minus nothing. The conditions to salvation are repentance and faith.
Romans 5:1
We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Rev. 19: 11-16, I Thessalonians 4:13-18
We believe in the pre-tribulation rapture of the church and the personal, premillenial return of Jesus Christ.
John 14: 1-7, Luke 16: 19-31, Revelation 20:14
We believe in the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.

We believe all believers are called into a life of separation from worldly philosophy and practice and a life of dedication to Jesus Christ.
