Our Beliefs
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake." 2 Cor. 4:5
We are a congregation of believers consecrated and willing to uphold the biblical truths and doctrines of grace, as expressed in the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689. Although we are a confessional church, the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice is the Bible alone, a truth which is clearly stated in the opening article of that confession. While this historical document is neither infallible nor perfect, it is nevertheless "an excellent summary of the things most certainly believed among us, and we regard it as an aid in controversy, a confirmation in faith, and a means of edification in righteousness".
Worship of God es primordial
Why do churches exist? The Christian church exists, first and foremost, to worship God. All other activities must take second place.
Only when we place the primary emphasis on God and not on ourselves, our rights or our needs, do we please him and fulfill his design.
Surprisingly, when we worship God instead of seeking our own satisfaction, we feel full and happy.
The North Bergen Reformed Baptist Church seeks to worship God in an atmosphere of reverence and joyful solemnity. We do so because the living God into whose presence we come is: "majestic in holiness, fearsome in praise"..
Personal morality is necessary
"Without holiness no one will see the Lord". The Scriptures assure us that putting off habits that are sinful and putting on a lifestyle and disposition according to Christ is not optional.
We cannot proclaim Christ with our lips while denying Him with our lives. We cannot delight in God's wonderful promises if we refuse to obey His holy commandments.
All Christians should demonstrate the reality of what they claim to be through a life of sincere and constant, though imperfect, piety.
The principle of this piety is found in the immutable moral law of God, as summarized in the Ten Commandments, and exemplified in the perfect life of Jesus Christ.
The power to lead such a life of godliness comes through the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The Word of God is relevant
The Bible is not a book of myths nor can it be ignored as a relic of history.
The Bible is the Word of God relevant to all of life. It is the only book that provides answers to life's ultimate and most profoundly perplexing questions.
It provides the structure for us to understand our world, including all areas of thought and culture.
It teaches us how we should live within our family, in our career and in our leisure time.
The Bible provides the pattern of conduct for our churches. It speaks to man with divine authority in all dimensions and spheres of life.
The church is vital
In an era when many other organizations are replacing the local church to carry out religious or social functions, we maintain that the church that Jesus Christ established is essential and indispensable.
The church is the means God has established to accomplish God's ends. Through the church God's truth is preserved and proclaimed.
This proclamation is made mainly through preaching, by faithful men, and for the purpose of saving sinners and strengthening Christians.
God's salvation is essential
The central message of the Scriptures is the testimony they give of the salvation of hell-deserving sinners through the person and work of Jesus Christ.
We believe and preach that Jesus Christ is the only God-Man and, through His life of perfect obedience and the substitutionary sacrifice that He Himself made, even unto death, as applied by the Holy Spirit in a sovereign way, Christ saves the lost and guilty sinner.
We also affirm, with equal conviction, that this salvation was planned from eternity and that men came into possession of the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life when God the Father called them mightily by His grace, enabling the sinner to repent of his sin and trust in Jesus Christ alone as Savior and Lord.
