ABOUT US

King James Bible Church is a local assembly of the Church established by Jesus Christ, striving to practice His teachings as contained in the Authorized King James Scripture, henceforth referred to as the Bible.

 

These will include the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the New Testament, and encouraging and equipping people to know Jesus Christ and to grow in a life changing relationship with him. The Bible shall be the final rule for faith and action in this church. 

 

As the church goes about its task, it shall be independent and autonomous, and shall remain free of all denominational controls and affiliations. However, it shall recognize as brothers and sisters in Christ all those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, have been born again, and shall join with them in their efforts to make disciples of all nations.

Vision

To see every born-again member of KJBC grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and to stand before him someday in judgement unashamed of the work they have built upon their foundation, which is Jesus Christ. We strive to be a beacon of the truth to our community, speaking the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ by our speech, actions, convictions, and way of life.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

A. THE BIBLE

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God, providentially preserved in the English Authorized King James Bible, and as such, is "the holy scriptures" and thereby "given by inspiration of God." Since God Himself “hast magnified his word above all his name,” we hold the Bible to the highest esteem. Furthermore, the Bible is and will be our final authority in all matters of our faith and all matters of our practice. As an effect of this, every position following is taken directly from the King James Bible. (Pro. 30:5; Psa. 12:6-7, 138:2, II Tim. 3:15-17) 

 

B. GODHEAD

We believe that God is a Godhead consisting of three distinct parts. We believe that all parts of the Godhead are one and have differing functions. (Genesis 1:26, Matthew 12:31-32, 28:19; 1 John 5:7)

1. God the Father

We believe that God the Father is a Spirit that is a just and righteous judge that is seated on His throne in Heaven. We hold to the biblical position that God is holy and cannot hold fellowship with man in his natural sinful state. We also hold to the fact that “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son” to the world in order to break the veil of sin that separated Himself and man. (John 3:16, 3:36, 4:24; Romans 3:23; 1 John 4:8; I Pet 1:17)

2. God the Son

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His atonement, His bodily resurrection, and His second coming. We believe that He was God that became man. We also believe that He was sent of the Father to be the propitiation for man’s sin. (John 1:1; Isa. 7:14; I John. 2:1-2) 

3. God the Holy Ghost

We believe that the Holy Ghost was sent into the world after the ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Great Comforter of the church, and to convict man of his sinful nature. We believe that He indwells the believer, seals him until the day of redemption, and intercedes in the prayers between God the Father and man. (1 Cor. 6:19; John 14:26; 16:7-11 Romans 8:26-27; Ephesians 1:13, 4:30)

 

C. DISPENSATIONS 

 

We believe that the Scriptures interpreted in their natural, literal sense reveal divinely determined dispensations or rules of life that 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. Three of these dispensations—the law, the church, and the kingdom—are the subjects of detailed revelation in Scripture. (Gen. 1:28; 1 Cor. 9:17; 2 Cor. 3:9-18; Gal. 3:13-25; Eph. 1:10; 3:2-10; Col. 1:24-25, 27; Rev. 20:2-6)

 

 

D. SIN & HELL

We believe that man is inherently sinful and wicked. We believe that the first man, Adam, was disobedient to God. Due to the fall of Adam, “death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” We take the Word of God literally concerning the idea of hell, believing it to be a literal place and a place of condemnation for those paying the price for their own sin. (Romans 3:23, 5:12-19, 6:23; Genesis 3; Revelation 21:8; Luke 16:23-26, Ps. 9:17)

 

E. SALVATION

 

We believe salvation is "by grace through faith" in the finished work of Jesus Christ, and "not by works of righteousness which we have done.” We believe “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Furthermore, we adhere to the Bible position that the believer's soul is eternally secure after salvation. (Eph. 1:13, 2:8-9; 2 Timothy 2:13 Tit. 3:5; John 3:36, 5:24, 10:28-29; Romans 6:23, 10:13) 

 

F. MARRIAGE

 

We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture, and that any other form of marriage is unnatural and ungodly. We also believe that sexual activity outside of marriage is against God and will be judged by him. We further believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one’s gender by surgery or appearance.  (Genesis 2:18-25; Leviticus 18:1-30; Matthew 19:3-9; Romans 1:24-27, 7:2; Hebrews 13:4)

 

G. THE CHURCH 

 

We believe in two scriptural uses of the word "church" (the spiritual body of Christ consisting of all believers, and each local assembly of believers). We believe that all people who have been born again are a part of "the church, which is his body," and therefore should join an autonomous local church. We understand from the scripture that every believer has an office (function) in the body of Christ as God purposes them by his grace. (I Cor. 12:13-28; Eph. 1:22-23; I Tim. 3:1-13, Rom 12:4-8) 

 

H. ORDINANCES

 

We believe that Baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances left by the Lord to His church. Scriptural baptism is the immersion in water of a believer; in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Water baptism shows forth in a solemn emblem our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, with its effect being our death to sin and resurrection to a new life. 

 

The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and the unfermented fruit of the vine, memorialize the body of the Redeemer, and the blood he shed for us at Calvary, until the day that He returns for his church. (I Corinthians 11:23-30; 1 Pet. 3:21; Acts 2:41; 8:12,35-39; Mark 14:22-26)

 

 

I. FUTURE EVENTS

 

We hold to a Pre-tribulation view of the rapture of the church and believe that someday Jesus Christ will call all those who are his up to meet Him in the clouds. We believe the rapture to be the “blessed hope” for the believers in Christ. We also believe that following this event, the world will undergo a tribulation period of seven years which will end with Satan bound and Christ to rule and reign, setting up his physical kingdom on this earth for a thousand years. (Daniel 9:24-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 20:1-6; 2 Timothy 2:12)

 

J. ISRAEL

 

We believe that God is not done with the nation of Israel. We believe that God’s promise to Abraham still holds true that “cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee”.  We believe God will “gather” his people back to his land. (Genesis 17:7, Romans 11; Deut. 14:2, Isaiah 44:21, Jeremiah 31:1-3, 9-11; Genesis 27:29; Ezekiel 36:22-28)

 

K. LAWSUITS BETWEEN BELIEVERS

 

We believe that Christians are prohibited from bringing civil lawsuits against other Christians or the church to resolve personal disputes.  We believe the church possesses all the resources necessary to resolve personal disputes between members.  We do believe, however, that a Christian may seek compensation for injuries from another Christian’s insurance company as long as the claim is pursued without malice or slander.  (1 Cor. 6:1-8; Eph. 4:31-32; Matt. 18:15-17)

 

L. GIVING AND MISSIONS

 

We believe that every Christian, as a steward of that portion of God’s wealth entrusted to him, is obligated to financially support the work of the Lord.  We believe that every Christian should give from their heart of the first-fruits of all their increase in addition to other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully to honor the Lord, to support the local church, to relieve those in need, and to spread the Gospel.  (Prov. 3:9-10; Acts 4:34-37; 1 Cor. 16:2; 2 Cor. 9:6-7; Gal. 6:6; Eph. 4:28; 1 Tim. 5:17-18; 1 John 3:17)

 

M. GENERAL

 

We are traditional in views of music and worship. We subscribe to a moderate dispensationalism, and are anti-Calvinistic in theology. We are against the falsehoods taught in the major seminaries across the country: the lies of higher and lower criticism of the word of God. We also believe in a practical, Biblical Christianity: prayer, personal work, giving, separation from the world, ministering to the saints, and most importantly a daily walk with Jesus Christ. (I Tim 2:3-6; Ps. 12:6-7; I Pet 5:8-11; I Thess. 5:14-22; I Tim 4:13)

 

We provoke frequent Biblical discussions amongst the Church Body, to help build scriptural confidence in the believer about the fundamentals of our faith. We also encourage healthy conversation in the deep things of scripture all while avoiding “foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain”. (Titus 3:9)
