Central Baptist Academy

Teaching Philosophy

The basis of Central Baptist Academy and all of our programmes is the inspired and infallible Word of God, the Bible, as interpreted in the Statement of Faith of Central Baptist Church Brantford. A brief summary of the articles follows. We believe: in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as verbally inspired of God, and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life. in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, and born of a virgin, and is true God and true man. that man was created in the image of God and that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature. that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood. in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life here for us as High Priest and Advocate. in the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. in the prominence of the local and visible church, baptism by immersion for believers, and the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper. in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting, conscious punishment of the lost. in the spiritual unity of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
