Our Doctrinal StatementÂ
Williams Baptist University is owned and operated by the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, through a Board of Trustees elected by the Convention. The following is our doctrinal statement:Â
WE BELIEVE that there is one God, manifest in three eternal persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit;Â
WE BELIEVE that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave and ascended into Heaven;Â
WE BELIEVE in the literal, imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth;Â
WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the Word of God without any error, the sole authority for life;Â
WE BELIEVE that man is a special creation of God, made in his image;Â
WE BELIEVE that mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and that all men are sinners in need of salvation;Â
WE BELIEVE that salvation is a gift given through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ;Â
WE BELIEVE that every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ;Â
WE BELIEVE that those persons who die in their sins spend eternity in Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven spend eternity in Heaven;Â
WE BELIEVE that baptism is in obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation;Â
WE BELIEVE that the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the head;Â
WE BELIEVE that each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ;Â
WE BELIEVE in the separation of church and state, but not in the separation of God and government.Â
