Creeds and confessions and statements are an important part of the history of Christ’s Church. They teach us that God’s word is clear and can be rightly understood by His Body the Church.
Here are some of the historic Christian creeds, confessions, and statements that we hold to at FBC Beggs (this is a comprehensive if not exhaustive list)…
The 1689 London Baptist Confession

Apostles Creed
We believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
