Scripture Above All: Our Foundation for Faith and Practice
At New Beginning Baptist, we hold one unwavering conviction that guides everything we do: the Bible is our final authority. We believe that Scripture, not tradition or human preference, must be the determining factor in all matters of faith and practice. Our question is always “What saith the Scripture?” rather than “What has always been done?”
Biblical Authority in Action
We are committed to biblical fidelity with compassionate application. This means we distinguish between clear biblical commands and human traditions, allowing liberty where Scripture allows liberty while standing firm on fundamental truths. Our goal is to help souls grow in Christ, not to maintain systems that may hinder effective ministry.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” – 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Our Conviction About the King James Bible
New Beginning Baptist Church uses and teaches exclusively from the King James Version of the Bible. We believe in the preservation of God’s Word through this time-tested translation that has blessed fundamental Baptist churches for generations.
Why the King James Bible?
- Verbal Plenary Inspiration and Preservation: We believe God has preserved His Word for English-speaking people through the King James translation
- Consistency in Teaching: Our congregation learns, memorizes, and grows from one consistent text
- Historical Reliability: The KJV has been the foundation of biblical preaching and Baptist heritage for centuries
- Doctrinal Clarity: The KJV provides clear renderings that support fundamental Baptist distinctives
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” – Psalm 12:6-7
Fundamental Baptist Distinctives
As an Independent Fundamental Baptist church, we maintain core biblical convictions:
Salvation and Grace
- Salvation by grace through faith alone with genuine free will to accept or reject Christ
- Eternal security of the believer once truly saved
- Clear distinction between salvation and discipleship
Church and Ministry
- Local church autonomy and congregational government
- Soul liberty and the priesthood of every believer
- Biblical separation from apostasy while showing compassion to all people
- Evangelism and soul-winning as central to our mission
Biblical Interpretation
- Dispensational premillennialism in our approach to prophecy
- Expository preaching that rightly divides the word of truth
- Practical application that meets people where they are with what they actually need
Compassionate Practicality
While we stand firm on biblical truth, we approach ministry with grace and practical wisdom. We recognize that Scripture is sufficient, but may use various means to help people. Our counsel is always truth spoken in love, adapted to individual needs and real-life struggles.
“And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” – Jude 22-23
Biblical Counseling and Care
We believe the Bible provides complete answers for life’s problems, but we also recognize that God may use various means to bring healing and help. Our approach prioritizes Scripture while showing wisdom in practical application.
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:11

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” – 2 Timothy 2:15
