About us

At Salisbury Bible Methodist Church, we try to base every belief we have on the Bible.  We have ten main affirmations of our faith.  We affirm...

• Our faith in the Bible as the inerrant and inspired Word of God, containing a sufficient revelation fo god's will to man in order to secure his eternal salvation and perfect in its system of religion and moral teachings and precepts:

• Our faith in the deity of Jesus Christ, who was supernaturally conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the virgin Mary, free from moral taint of nature and perfect in His life and conduct.

• Our faith in the expiatory death, and vicarious atonement of Christ, which adjusted matters in the government of God so that mercy and grace could be extended to the sinner.

• Our faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;  that He arose with the same body that was placed in the tomb, supernaturally transformed from its physical properties to that of spiritual.

• Our faith in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and that he now occupies the throne of His mediation.

• Our faith in the doctrine and promise of His second coming in "like manner" as he went away.

• Our faith in the creation of man by the immediate creative act of God, according to the Bible narrative, and not by the process of evolutionary transition from a lower order of animalism to his present physical and intellectual condition.

• Our faith in the doctrine of the fall of man from that holy state in which he was created, to his present sinful and depraved state "and of his own nature is inclined to evil and that continually"

• Our faith in the doctrine of regeneration or the "new birth," by which a sinner becomes a child of God, through faith in Jesus Christ by which the sinner is delivered from the power of sin and is enabled through grace to love and serve God.

• Our faith in the doctrine of entire sanctification, by which work of grace the heart is cleansed by the Holy Spirit from all inbred sin through faith in Jesus when the believer presents himself a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, and is enabled through grace to love God with all his heart and to walk in his holy commandments blameless.
