WHAT BAPTISTS BELIEVE

3.    THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

1)We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was and is and ever shall be the eternal Son of God;

2) that He was with the Father and the Holy Ghost in the beginning; 3) that He was God in the flesh; 4) that while here on earth He lived a sinless and spotless life; 5) that He died a supernatural and vicarious death upon the cross for the sins of mankind; 6) that He bodily arose from the dead the third day; 7) that He ascended to the right hand of God to make intercession for the saints;

8) that He will return in the air for the saints and to the Mount of Olivet with His saints to rule and reign for a thousand years on earth; 9) that He hath been given a name that is above every name and all enemies will be put under his feet; 10) and that He will reign eternally.    (note: John 5:23)
