THE BAPTIST FAITH.
by Dean the
Rt.Rev. A. Daniel.
The Spiritual Baptist Faith is based on Spirit and faith. We operate strictly
by divine inspiration and not by the imagination of our mind, which means that
we wait on the Lord for His divine direction.
While waiting on the Lord, we steady the mind by having a relationship with Him
, and endeavor to achieve the highest stage of consciousness, so that we are not
easily misled by any wind of doctrine . As a result we walk by faith and not by
sigh : therefore we never get weary working , because faith without work is
dead.
Now faith is the assurance of the things we hope for and the conviction of the
things not seen. Our foundation is on faith. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing
the Word of God. For this reason we have many messages to deliver from God. God
deals with us by the measure of our faith and we are justified by faith.
When there has been inspiration and a reaching out for the spiritual life , the
faith faculty becomes active and so is the operation of the Spiritual Baptist
Faith. Therefore, the light of faith does not destroy the natural light of
knowledge which is inborn.
God who is the author of this Faith does not oppose knowledge which is wholly in
the testimony of Him , and its infallible certitude.
The transcendent nature and the incomparable dignity of the Word of God posses
faith. The act of our Faith is to reveal the truth , as it has been spoken by
God. The assent of him who has faith unshakeable.
Therefore our Spiritual Baptist Faith is unshakeable.
