In accord with the historical position of the Primitive Baptists, the leaders of the Jesup Primitive Baptist Church subscribe to the scriptural principles stated in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. The following is an abbreviated statement based upon that confession. We believe the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God, inspired and inerrant, and the only rule of faith and practice. We believe in the only true and living God, that there are three persons in the Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and that these three agree in one, are coequal, coeternal, and coexistent. We believe in the total depravity of the entire human family; that is, sin pollutes man's faculties - his heart, mind, and will - and he is unable to recover himself from his lost and ruined estate. We believe in particular, eternal, and unconditional election, the effectual calling of the elect, and the final perseverance of the saints. We believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, the only Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation is by His grace alone. We believe that believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper are the ordinances of the church of Jesus Christ. We believe the only baptism taught and recognized in the Bible is immersion. We believe the Lord's Supper is a memorial of our Lord's death and should be regularly observed in the church. We believe that no minister has the right to administer the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper but such as are called by God and come under the imposition of hands by a presbytery. We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust; that the just shall be raised, changed, and fashioned like unto the glorious body of the Son of God, to dwell in heaven forever, soul and body reunited; and, that the unjust shall be raised, soul and body reunited, and consigned to punishment in hell.
