What We Believe…About the Bible”

This EastPointe Bible Church (EBC) is a brief overview of the Essential doctrines of the faith in Jesus. Join Pastor Jim Butler beginning Sunday’s at 9:15 a.m. in EBC Room 132. This seven-week (7-week) class is a prerequisite for membership and includes introductory doctrines as well as a summary of the EBC membership process.
A more thorough, in-depth teachings and recommended 21-week Essentials Class will be offered on Sunday mornings beginning in June 2021.

What we believe … from the Bible.

1. Admit you’re in need of a Savior, Jesus Christ. (I am a sinner.)​

2. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you and your sins on the Cross and rose from the grave. (He is the Savior.)

3. Be willing to turn from your sins and have Jesus Christ become your Savior and Lord. (That’s called repentance.)​

4. Be baptized (the Bible practice is immersion) in obedience to His command, as a testimony that your sins are covered by His grace. (Acts 2:38 NASB; “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”)

God Is Love – ‘4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.’ 1 John 4:4-6 NASB

This Is Written That You May Know – ‘13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. ‘ 1 John 5:13 NASB
