The Bible is accepted without question as the foundational document upon which stands and out of which grows the doctrinal beliefs, convictions, and practices of the Quincy Baptist Church. Whatever the Bible is for, this church is for. Whatever the Bible is against, this church is against. A summary of beliefs of this church is here stated:

• GOD is. He is the only God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is always. He rewards the Persons faithful to Him. He punishes the persons forsaking Him. God is love.
• JESUS CHRIST is the virgin-born Son of God. Jesus Christ is true God and true man having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate. He will personally return in power and glory to rapture His Bride, the church. He is the only way into the kingdom of God. The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for sinful man, and only such as believe and confess Jesus as Lord and are born of the Holy Spirit are children of God. Jesus is the Head of the church, His body. Jesus IS Lord.
• THE HOLY SPIRIT is God. He is the Comforter sent by Jesus Christ into the world to born-again believers. He indwells born-again believers who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. He draws sinners to Jesus. He builds the believer in the kingdom. He exercises His gifts within the believer as He chooses. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.
• THE BIBLE is the inspired, infallible, inerrant, authoritative written Word of God. God is the source of the Bible. The Holy Spirit selected certain persons through whom He gave the Scriptures to be used by the church to feed the believers. The authority of the Bible is the authority of God Himself. The Bible is the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of men and the Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life. The Old Testament is to be read in the light of Jesus Christ.
• MAN is a creature of God, created in His image, who lost his son-ship through the disobedience of unbelief, and is, therefore, lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. Man is born a sinner and commits sin. The depravity of his human nature results in the inability of man to restore himself to the favor of God. This depravity of man extends to the point that man does not and will not even have the desire to be restored to God. He is deceived by Satan and bound for Hell until he repents of sin, confesses Jesus as Lord, and is baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit (all three realities occurring at the same time).
• THE TRUE CHURCH is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the Head. The church of Jesus Christ is composed of all born-again believers of all ages and all geographical locations without regard to denominational affiliation or membership. Local expressions of the body of Jesus Christ are those churches or bodies of born-again believers who have voluntarily and publicly identified with Jesus Christ and His followers through personal confession and obedience to biblical teaching.
• FAITH is believing God in such a way that results in Jesus Christ being exhibited as Lord in the believer’s daily life. Faith is necessary for salvation and membership into the kingdom of God. Faith is the gift of God, and does not come from man or an institution of man. Faith in Christ results in works done by the believer.
• WATER BAPTISM by immersion and the LORD’S SUPPER are ordinance to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation.
• BIBLICAL BAPTISM is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. It is a testimony to the believer’s faith in the final resurrection of the dead. Every believer should be baptized after being born-again.
• THE LORD’S SUPPER is a Christ-given service of worship and fellowship. The purpose being the remembrance of Jesus; specifically, His death for the church and His soon return to redeem the church from the earth. The natural elements of bread and juice are symbolic of the body and blood of Jesus. Salvation is in Jesus, not in the elements nor in the observance of the supper. The supper is for believers only.
• THE RETURN of our Lord Jesus Christ is imminent. This “Blessed Hope” has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
• Upon the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, there will be a BODILY RESURRECTION of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgement and everlasting conscious punishment.
