TEACHING  GUIDELINES  FOR  OUR  FAITH  AND  PRACTICE First  Interna+onal  Bap+st  Church  of  Copenhagen,  Denmark

a)

​The  Scriptures:  The  Holy  Bible  was  recorded  by  divinely  inspired  writers  and  thus  is  the wriDen  record  of  God’s  revela+on  of  Himself  to  mankind.  It  is  the  central  focus  of  Chris+an union  and  is  the  supreme  standard  for  all  human  conduct.

b)          The  Triune  God:  There  is  one  and  only  one  true  and  living  God.  The  eternal  God  reveals  Himself to  us  as  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit  with  dis+nct  personal  aDributes  but  without  division  of nature  essence  or  being.  God  as  Father  reigns  with  providen+al  care  over  His  created  universe. Jesus  Christ  is  the  eternal  Son  of  God  and  Saviour  of  the  world  who  died  upon  the  cross  and provided  redemp+on  for  the  sins  of  all  repentant  and  accep+ng  mankind.  His  Holy  Spirit  lives  in the  hearts  of  all  believers  as  the  very  Spirit  of  Almighty  God.  He  illuminates  our  understanding of  truth  and  exalts  Christ  in  all  things.  He  enlightens  and  empowers  believers  and  the  whole church  in  worship,  evangelism,  missions,  and  in  ministry. c)            Mankind:  Humankind  was  created  by  the  special  act  of  God  in  His  own  image  and  aLer  His likeness,  and  is  the  crowning  glory  of  His  crea+on. d)            Salva+on:  All  who  accept  Jesus  Christ  as  the  risen  Saviour  and  Lord  are  considered  Chris+an believers.  Repentance  of  the  sin  of  unbelief  and  acceptance  of  Christ  as  Redeemer  from  his  or her  sin  results  in  reconcilia+on  with  God  through  personal  salva+on.  Each  believer  is  set  apart for  God’s  own  purposes  in  this  life  and  for  eternal  life  in  Heaven. e)            God’s  Purpose  of  Grace:  To  preserve  His  crea+on,  mankind,  for  eternity,  and  to  provide  the abundant  and  full  life  on  earth  which  man  can  have  under  God’s  plan  of  love  for  the  obedience, and  faithfulness. f)              The  Church:  The  true  church  of  God  is  composed  of  all  the  redeemed  of  all  ages.  A  local congrega+on  is  a  representa+ve  unit  of  the  whole  body  of  those  who  believe  and  accept  Jesus Christ  as  Saviour.  This  local  church  is  autonomous  in  nature,  func+oning  under  the  democra+c processes  espoused  under  the  Lordship  of  Jesus  Christ  for  His  church.  Individual  members  of  the church  are  equally  responsible  to  God  and  His  church,  as  they  are  privileged  to  be  a  part  of  His body. g)            The  Church  Ordinances:  Bap+sm  and  the  Lord’s  Supper. 1)            Bap+sm  as  is  administered  by  immersion  in  water  as  prac+ced  in  the  New  Testament.  It  is  a symbolic  rite  of  obedience  to  portray  the  life,  death  and  resurrec+on  of  Christ.  There  is  no redemp+ve  value  or  saving  power  in  this  ritual  itself,  but  serves  as  a  visible  witness  of  the newfound  faith  of  the  believer.  Believer’s  bap+sm  follows  a  person’s  public  profession  of  faith  in Christ  and  repentance  of  sin.  Bap+sm  by  immersion  in  water  is  a  pre-­‐requisite  for  full membership  in  FIBC. 2)            The  Lord’s  Supper  is  the  second  ordinance  Christ  gave  to  His  church.  The  Lord  requested that  believers  observe  this  symbolic  ritual  together  as  the  gathered  community  of  faith.  This memorial  act  helps  believers  understand  the  full  meaning  of  the  life,  death  and  resurrec+on  of Christ.  It  also  serves  to  focus  our  aDen+on  on  His  Second  Coming. h)          The  Lord’s  Day:  According  to  the  New  Testament,  Sunday  is  the  new  “Lord’s  Day”,  the  first  day  of every  week.  It  is  set  aside  for  worship  and  rest.  Each  Sunday  commemorates  Christ’s resurrec+on  from  the  dead. i)            The  Kingdom  of  God:  God  is  ruler  of  the  universe  and  all  it  entails.  He  is  also  the  personal,  loving Master  of  individual  lives  commiDed  to  Him  through  (our)  faith  in  His  Son,  Jesus  Christ. j)            Last  Times:  God  alone  will  bring  this  world  to  a  close  in  His  own  way  and  in  His  own  +me.  Christ will  return  to  earth  to  bring  all  things  to  comple+on. k)            Evangelism  and  Missions:  It  is  the  duty  of  all  believers  and  all  churches  to  endeavour  to  make disciples  of  all  peoples,  beginning  at  home  and  extending  to  the  whole  world. l)              Educa+on:  Chris+an  teaching  within  the  church  and  outside  the  church  is  absolutely  necessary if  the  Chris+an  church  is  to  propagate  the  Gospel  as  required  in  God’s  Word.  God  has  given  the church  this  task  to  teach  the  young,  the  uninformed,  and  His  followers  His  Gospel  message  of

disciples  of  all  peoples,  beginning  at  home  and  extending  to  the  whole  world. l)              Educa+on:  Chris+an  teaching  within  the  church  and  outside  the  church  is  absolutely  necessary if  the  Chris+an  church  is  to  propagate  the  Gospel  as  required  in  God’s  Word.  God  has  given  the church  this  task  to  teach  the  young,  the  uninformed,  and  His  followers  His  Gospel  message  of love  and  redemp+on  from  sin. m)        Stewardship:  God  owns  all  the  earth  and  everything  within  it.  We  are  trustees,  or  stewards,  of His  possessions,  not  really  the  owners  of  anything.  We  should  use  all  of  our  God-­‐given  resources for  His  glory  and  honour,  helping  others  along  the  way,  while  maintaining  our  own  well  being  as God  intended.  We  are  commanded  to  support  the  church’s  ministry,  outreach,  and  Pastor. n)          Coopera+on:  It  is  our  Chris+an  duty  to  work  together  in  harmony  with  all  other  Chris+ans  and churches  to  fulfill  the  calling  of  God  upon  all  of  us.  We  believe  in  autonomous  churches  working voluntarily  and  coopera+vely  in  one  accord  to  achieve  the  greater  good  for  the  Kingdom  of  God and  His  church  on  earth. o)          Religious  Liberty:  God  alone  is  Lord  of  the  individual  conscience  and  of  every  local  church congrega+on.  He  has  leL  us  free  from  the  doctrines  and  commands  of  men,  which  are  contrary to  His  Word 1
