The Core Teachings Of Coward Baptist Church

By Thomas Murray


Christianity started over two thousand years ago in Jerusalem, Israel. It started with only a few followers. However, presently it has billions of followers. The first church at Jerusalem managed to take Christianity far and wide. The Great Commission of Christianity instructs believers to take the gospel to all the four corners of the world. It is only after that has been done that the end will come. Catholicism is the biggest Christian denomination. The second biggest is Protestantism. The Southern Baptist movement is a Protestant movement. The Coward Baptist Church is Protestant in every sense and respect.

Baptist teachings come directly from the Bible. This is the holiest book in Christianity. The Bible never lies. Heaven and earth will pass away but no single word of Scripture will pass without being fulfilled. Most prophesies have already been fulfilled. Some are currently being fulfilled. The few that are remaining will be fulfilled in the future. That is the truth. It is the reality that every Christian should know.

The Holy Bible was written thousands of years ago. However, it is still relevant in the present day world. That is the plain truth. It is the ultimate reality that most Baptists are aware of. Scripture is always fresh. It has a lot to say about the current human condition although it was not written in this day and age.

The core teaching of the Baptist Church is the teaching of love. A church that does not preach about love should be shunned. Love needs to be the main theme. Love is a virtue. On the other hand, hate is a vice. Love makes the world to become a better place to live in. Love needs to prevail in society.

On one hand, there is the teaching of love. On the other hand, there is the teaching of morality. These two teachings go hand in hand. A person who has love in his heart will strive to live in the most moral manner possible. Morality will facilitate a great earthly life and an even greater after life in a beautiful place.

According to Scripture, every human being has sinned and fallen short of glory. There is no person that is without sin. Every individual is born in sin. However, one does not have to die in sin. That is due to the fact that there is a clear path out of sin. It is possible to attain righteousness in the present life.

To be forgiven of sin, one needs to ask for forgiveness and repent of all his sins. After doing so, he should be baptized. This is the second birth. It marks the death of the old sinful self and the birth of a new righteous individual. The baptism process will actually involve total immersion into a body of water.

The Christian life is a journey. The Christian journey ends in heaven. Christians should always look up and not down. Like any life journey, the Christian journey has its fair of challenges. By persisting in prayer, it will be possible to conquer all these challenges. Christians need to pray without ceasing. They should also fast on a regular basis.
