Amendment to The Baptist Faith
and Message

A Statement Adopted by the Southern Baptist
Convention (June 1998) XVIII. The Family

God has ordained the family as the foundational
institution of human society. It is composed of
persons related to one another by marriage, blood,
or adoption.

Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman
in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God's
unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and
His church, and to provide for the man and the
woman in marriage the framework for intimate
companionship, the channel for sexual expression
according to biblical standards, and the means for
procreation of the human race.

The husband and wife are of equal worth before
God, since both are created in God's image. The
marriage relationship models the way God relates to
His people. A husband is to love his wife as Christ
loved the church. He has the God-given
responsibility to provide for, to protect, and lead his
family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the
servant leadership of her husband even as the
church willingly submits to the headship of Christ.
She, being in the image of God as is her husband
and thus equal to him, has the God-given
responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as
his helper in managing the household and nurturing
the next generation.

Children, from the moment of conception, are a
blessing and heritage from the Lord. Parents are to
demonstrate to their children God's pattern for
marriage. Parents are to teach their children
spiritual and moral values and to lead them, through
consistent lifestyle example and loving discipline, to
make choices based on biblical truth. Children are
to honor and obey their parents.

    Statement of Faith

  1. We believe that God is the creator of the whole universe
    and is also the Heavenly Father of all believers.
  2. We believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and
    man. He was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless
    life. He was crucified, died as a penalty for our sins and
    was raised from the dead bodily on the third day. Later He
    ascended to the Father's right hand where He is head of
    the church and intercedes for believers. He shall be
    coming again personally and bodily. All believers shall be
    caught up together into His eternal kingdom.
  3. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Person, is God Himself
    and possesses all the divine attributes. He indwells all
    believers, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment
    of their salvation, and fills them in response to confession
    of sin.
  4. We believe that the Godhead exists eternally in three
    persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and that these Three
    are One God.
  5. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God,
    supernaturally inspired and through the original
    manuscripts as preserved by God in its verbal and plenary
    inspiration. The Bible in itself is a divinely authoritative
    standard for every age and every life.
  6. We believe that a true believer is eternally secure in the
    blood of Jesus, who died for our sin and as a result he
    cannot lose his salvation. But that sin may interrupt the joy
    of his fellowship with God. That if you confess with your
    mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God
    raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
  7. We believe that because of mankind's depravity, all have
    sinned and fall short of the glory of God. That he must
    repent and believe in Jesus, otherwise he will one day be
    doomed for eternal punishment in hell.
  8. We believe that it is the goal of every Christian to grow in
    spiritual maturity through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
    and obedience to God's Word.
