Baptist Distinctives

Landmark Baptist Church is proud to be Baptist in doctrine, practice and heritage. We are proud to defend the fundamentals of the faith, and we support without compromise the old King James Bible. We believe in aggressive evangelism, the preservation of God's Word, Christian Education and the local church.

Doctrinal Statement

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God and that He has preserved it for the English-speaking world in the Authorized King James Version.

We believe that there is one God, the source, support, and end of all things, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; in His Virgin Birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His vicarious and atoning death; in His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the Father's right hand; and in His personal, premillennial return for His saints and with His saints at the Revelation.

We believe that man is totally depraved, a sinner (lost) by nature and by divine decree, therefore in need of the convicting and regenerating ministry of the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the personality of Satan; in his power and kingdom; in His wiles; and in his judgment at the cross and his eternal destruction in Hell.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit; that He convicts the sinner; regenerates the one who believes; indwells, seals, instructs, reproves and guides the believer; that He fills and controls every life that is wholly yielded to Him. However, we are not Pentecostals.

We believe that salvation is the gift of God offered to man by His grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved unto "life" and the unsaved unto "judgment" and everlasting damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, not in the organized unity sought by the "ecumenical" movement.

We believe in the special creation of the existing space-time universe and all its basic systems and kinds of organisms in the six literal days of the creation week and in the full historicity and perspicuity of the Biblical record of primeval history. This includes the literal existence of Adam and Eve as the progenitors of all people, the literal fall and resultant divine curse on the creation, the worldwide cataclysmic deluge, and the origin of nations and languages at the tower of Babel.

King James Version

At Landmark Baptist Church, we take the stand that the King James Version is the Bible that God has preserved for the English-speaking people. God has blessed the King James Version for more than 300 years. It is the Bible of every revival among the English-speaking peoples of the world.

Today we are being inundated with new versions of the Bible in English. And all of these versions have one thing in common -- they have been translated from corrupted texts.

We are not radicals. But we are not going to allow Satan to confuse Christians without pointing out his deceptions and trying to defend the work of God.

If you are interested in the debate concerning the King James Version, we have resources you may be interested in. Check out the order form from Landmark Baptist Press for information on ordering two fine books on the King James Version.
