Our Beliefs

The following includes a summary of five major doctrines that Cornerstone Baptist of London believe and teach. For a more thorough statement of faith follow the link provided to read the Second London Confession of Faith from 1689. Here at Cornerstone we do not believe that theology should be separated from our lives, rather theology teaches us how to live and think.

  • God-

    • We believe God to be the one and only living Creator who has revealed Himself specially through His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we might have eternal life and fellowship with Him. God has personally revealed Himself to those who are the elect and He has revealed Himself generally to the world through creation. God stands omnisciently and sovereignly over creation, not in need of human care.

       

  • Jesus-​

    • We believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God who is our mediator and great high priest. Jesus is fully God and fully man being conceived by God and born of a virgin. Only through Jesus Christ can we stand before God as just. “For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21).​

       

  • Holy Spirit-​

    • We believe the Holy Spirit to be our divine helper, the Spirit of God, that unites us to God. The Holy Spirit is within believers and transforms the elect into a new creature who is alive in Christ.​

       

  • Salvation-​

    • Salvation is only possible through Jesus Christ by the conviction of sin. All men and women are dead in their trespasses of sin and are accountable before God. Because of Christ’s perfect sacrifice on the cross all of the elect stand righteous before God’s eyes.​

       

  • The Bible-​

    • We believe the Bible to be the inerrant word of God which was inspired by God and written by men. Bible reading is essential for communication (prayer), sanctification, faith, and discipleship. God’s salvific revelation begins with conviction of sin brought upon by hearing the word of God.​
