We believe salvation is the gift of eternal life received only through a personal trust in Jesus Christ, who was God’s substitute for sin. This gift is given by the unmerited favor of God’s grace without regard to any human works or goodness. All those who believe in Jesus are eternally secure in Him (John 3:16; 10:28-30; 2 Cor. 5:21; Eph. 2:8-9; 1 Pet. 1:3-5).

We believe men and women were created in the image of God but fell into sin through disobedience to a divine command bringing all mankind under condemnation. Human nature is totally corrupt and unable to please God for a right standing before Him (Gen. 1:27; Gen. 3; Isa 53:6; Rom. 3:9-18, 23; 5:12).

We believe in the universal church; a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible profession of faith, and associated for worship, work, and fellowship. We believe God has laid upon the members of the church the primary task of making disciples by proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world (Acts 1:8; 2:42; Eph. 2:19-22; 5:19-21; Heb. 10:23-25).

We believe the word “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Gen. 2:18-25). We believe that marriage between one man and one woman, for life, uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His Church (Eph. 5:21-33). We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. Accordingly, the church can only recognize or participate in marriages that are consistent with our religious beliefs.

We believe God has ordained and created all authority consisting of three basic institutions: the home, the church, and the state. Every person is subject to these authorities, but all (including the authorities themselves) are answerable to God and governed by His Word. God has given each institution specific biblical responsibilities and balanced those responsibilities with the understanding that no institution has the right to infringe upon the other. The home, the church, and the state are equal and sovereign in their respective biblically assigned spheres of responsibility under God. When any of these authorities contradict the Scriptures, the church must obey Scripture rather than man’s authority (Acts 5:29; Rom. 13:1-7; Eph. 5:22-24; Heb. 13:17; 1 Pet. 2:13-14).

We believe in the imminent second coming of Christ for His church, the eternal state of punishment for the unsaved called hell, and the eternal state of blessing for the saved called heaven (John 2:25; 3:16; Acts 1:9-11; Rom. 6:23; Phil. 3:20; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 20:15).

Baptism is commanded to all believers and is the first act of obedience. Baptism is a symbolic act signifying the believer’s death, burial, and resurrection “in Christ” (Rom. 6:3, 4; Acts 18:8; 1 Pet. 3:21). The book of Acts teaches the practice of water baptism by immersion for believers. ALBC does not believe in baptismal regeneration, nor do we hold that baptism is necessary for salvation. We practice baptism at any time when believers are gathered to celebrate the obedience of new believers.

The Lord’s Supper was instituted by Jesus on the night of His arrest. This symbolic act calls our attention to what Jesus did for us on the cross. The celebration is one in which we look back to the finished work of Christ for our salvation and forward to the return of Christ (1 Cor. 11:26). The Bible gives us no set times on when to observe the Lord’s Supper. We observe it several times during the year in order to make it a special ordinance for believers.

1. By salvation with baptism: A new convert who gives testimony of regeneration and is baptized by immersion.
2. By baptism: A person who has professed faith in Christ but has not yet been baptized by immersion can become a member upon baptism.
3. By transfer of letter: A member in good standing of another Baptist church can join by transferring their membership from the other church.
4. By statement of faith: A believer who has been baptized by immersion but is not a member of another Baptist church.
