These are the articles of faith for Breaking The Bread Ministries.

These things we hold dear.

1. WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD (defined as the books of the Old and New Testament). ( 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

2. WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS OUR ONLY RULE OF FAITH AND PRACTICE. (Psa. 138:2; Psa. 119:105;)

3. WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS A TRINITY; THREE DISTINCT PERSONS (FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT). (1John 5:7; Matt. 28:19)

4. WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS SOVEREIGN IN ALL THINGS (including the salvation of men). (Pro. 21:1; Dan 4:35; John 6:44)

5. WE BELIEVE THAT CHRIST, THE SON, WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN, LIVED A PERFECTLY SINLESS LIFE, AND DIED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR SINNERS. (Isa. 7:14; 1 Peter 2:22; Rom 5:19)

6. WE BELIEVE THAT SALVATION IS BY GRACE AND THAT REPENTANCE AND FAITH ARE GIFTS OF GRACE GRANTED TO DEPRAVED HUMAN BEINGS WHO WOULD NOT HAVE THE SLIGHTEST SPIRITUAL ATTRACTION TO THE GOSPEL WITHOUT THE GIVING OF THOSE GIFTS. (Eph. 2:8-10; 2Tim 2:24-26; Phil. 1:29; Eph. 2:8; Heb. 4:2; 2Peter 1:1; Eph 2:1-5)

7 . WE BELIEVE CHRIST ROSE FROM THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY TO JUSTIFY ALL WHO ARE REGENERATED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM. (Acts 2:22-37; 1Cor. 15:1-4)

8. WE BELIEVE THAT CHRIST ASCENDED TO THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER AND IS NOW MAKING INTERCESSION FOR HIS PEOPLE. (Heb. 7:25; Rom. 8:34)

9. WE BELIEVE THAT THE RETURN OF CHRIST IS LITERAL AND VISIBLE . (Rev. 1:7.)

10. WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE DENY THE FALSE CLAIMS OF MODERN PENTECOSTALISM BUT WE ALSO DENY THE DEAD RELIGION OF MODERNISM, AND FORMALISM . (We likewise abhor and deny the relativism of Post-Modernism.) (Acts 2: 1-6; Eph. 5:18)

11. WE BELIEVE THAT CHRIST'S CHURCH IS VISIBLE AND LOCAL. (Acts 9:31; Matt. 18:17; 1Cor. 1:2 etc.)(Breaking The Bread Ministries is under the oversight of Union Baptist Church of Marion, Kentucky.)

12. WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE WHO IS REGENERATED IS IN THE FAMILY OF GOD AND OUGHT TO FORMALLY BECOME A PART OF A LOCAL CONGREGATION OF BAPTIZED BELIEVERS. (Eph. 3:14-16; Acts 2:36-38; Acts 2:47; Heb. 10:25)

13. WE BELIEVE THAT THE ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH ARE BAPTISM (BELIEVER'S BAPTISM BY IMMERSION) AND THE LORD'S SUPPER. WE BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE SYMBOLIC IN NATURE AND HAVE NO SAVING POWER IN AND OF THEMSELVES. (Matt. 28:19; Luke 22:15-20; Eph. 2:8-10)

14. WE BELIEVE IN THE ETERNAL BLISS OF THE SAVED AND THE ETERNAL WRETCHEDNESS OF THE LOST. (Rev. 7:9-11; Rev. 21:10-22:3; Mark9:44-48; Matt. 10:28; Matt.23:33)

15. WE BELIEVE IN FERVENT, AGGRESSIVE, LOVING EVANGELISM THAT PRESENTS CHRIST AS LORD, AND VIEWS SINNERS AS TOTALLY HELPLESS WITHOUT GOD'S MERCH. (Acts 16:31; Mark 16:15; Rom. 15:20-24; 1Cor. 1:21)

16. WE BELIEVE IN WORLD WIDE EVANGELISM. OUR GOAL IS TO TAKE, SEND, AND SUPPORT GOSPEL PREACHING AND CHRISTIAN MISSIONS IN EVERY NATION UNDER HEAVEN. (Mark 16:15; Matt. 28:19-20; Mal. 1:11)

17. WE HOLD WITHOUT EQUIVOCATION THAT SYSTEM OF TRUTH KNOWN AS THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE AND DESPISE THE EASY-BELIEVISM AND WORLDLY CHRISTIANITY PRACTICED BY SO MANY TODAY. (Pervasive Depravity…1Cor. 2:14; Rom. 8:7; Predetermined Election…Rom. 8:29-30; Eph. 1:1-13; 2Thess. 2:13; Particular And Sufficient Redemption…Acts 20:28; John 10:11; Rom. 8:32; Omnipotent Grace…John 1:13; Eze. 36:26-27; James 1:18; John 6:37; And Persevering Saints…Jude 24; 2Thess. 3:3-4; Heb. 10:38-39)

18. WE BELIEVE A MINISTRY OF CHRIST IS SPIRIT LED AND NOT PURPOSE DRIVEN. (Rom. 8:14; Gal. 5:16-18)

19. WE BELIEVE IN THE TRIUMPH OF THE GOSPEL AND THAT GOD'S WORD WILL ACCOMPLISH EXACTLY WHAT HE SENDS IT FORTH TO DO. (Isa. 55:11; Hab. 2:14)
