The Mount Doctrines & Beliefs

Baptism         

Solely for the believer(1) who has received salvation(2) from Christ’s atoning work on the cross(3), made a public profession(4) of this salvation, and become His disciple(5), water baptism is the step of obedience for that believer to obey the command of scripture(6). This obedience is a testimony to God(7), oneself(8), the church(9), and the world(10) as a visual and symbolic(11) identification(12) with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection(13). To clearly demonstrate(14) this identification, a believer should be immersed(15) in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit(16). This work(17), based upon repentance(18), gives a picture(19) of the believer’s former life of sin that has been forgiven(20) and put to death(21) and the hope of our future resurrection(22). 

Baptism Endnotes

1.  “Christian baptism is exclusively meant for those who believe in Christ and follow Him. Four reasons support this statement. First, those who evangelize are only commanded to baptize those who repent and believe (Matt. 28:28-30; cf. John 4:1-2). Second, the only clearly recorded subjects of baptism in the book of Acts are individuals who have repented and believed (Acts 2:37-41; 8:12-13, 36-38; 9:18; 10:47-48; 16:15,33; 18:8; 19:5). Third, Paul’s letters demonstrate the twin assumptions that those who have believed have been baptized and those who have been baptized believe (Rom. 6:1-5; Gal. 3:26-27; Col. 2:11-12). Finally, Peter associates baptism with salvation, not as a cause of salvation, but as a roughly contemporary occurrence (Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21). Through direct command, examples of obedience, Paul’s assumptions, and Peter’s associations, the Scriptures teach that baptism is for believers.” Dr. Mark Dever, A Theology for the Church, ed. by Daniel Akin, 787. 

2.  Biblical salvation can be defined in numerous ways and encompass many different elements. For brevity’s sake, when we refer to salvation we are referring specifically to saving faith. “Saving faith is trust in Jesus Christ as a living person for forgiveness of sins and for eternal life with God.” Dr. Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology, 710. This salvation is an act of faith, by grace, independent of works (Eph 2:8-9).

3.  Only the substitutionary death of Jesus can provide that which God’s justice demands covering over our past, present, and future sins, becoming the basis for the gift of eternal life to those who believe. 

4.  Since one symbol of baptism is identification with Christ (see footnote 15), we see Jesus’ strong warning in Matt 10:32-33, “So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before My Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies Me before men, I also will deny before My Father who is in heaven.” Does that mean confession before others is a condition of becoming a true Christian? No, but it means that “a characteristic of every genuine believer is that he or she will profess faith in Christ unreservedly.” Deitrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship, Part 4 - Jesus Explains His Gospel. For examples of believers outwardly sharing what Christ had done, see Matt. 10:32; Mark 8:38; Rom. 1:16; 10:9-10; Acts 4:20; and, the Gospels, as a whole. 

5.  It is important to note that the Greek word for “disciple”, matheteuō (μαθετευω), does not carry with it the idea that the person who is named a disciple is necessarily a saved person (See John 6:66 & Matthew 10:1). However, the context in which we are using it is in reference to a saved believer that is a follower of Christ. “A disciple is someone who confesses Christ as Lord and Savior, believes that God has raised Him from the dead, and declares that belief publicly through baptism. He is not some sort of “upper–level” Christian. You don’t have to wait to become a disciple at some future time in your Christian life when you have reached a certain level of maturity. According to Matthew 28:19–20, a disciple is made at the moment of salvation.” John MacArthur, Discipleship, March 1: Who is a disciple?. 

6.  Baptism is a step of obedience for both the church, to baptize, and for new believers to be baptized. Christ’s command for the church is in The Great Commission, Matthew 28:19: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” For believers, Scripture places a clear emphasis on the command to be baptized. While some passages can be restricted to audience and context, there is a strong universal application to the body (see Matt 28:18-20; Acts 2:38; 10:48).

7.  “...he who receives baptism as a Christian rite thereby professes to stand in that relation to the Father, Son, and Spirit which those who receive the religion of Christ sustain. That is, he professes to receive God the Father as his Father, God the Son as his Savior, and God the Holy Spirit as his teacher and sanctifier...” Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology, 483-484. 

8.  Galatians 3:26-27, “for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” Here Paul describes the individual as metaphorically having “put on Christ” in the sense that one would enrobe oneself in a garment. 

9.  Ephesians 4:5,  “‘one Lord, one faith, one baptism.’ Paul’s ‘one baptism’ seems to refer to the ordinance of water baptism. The significance which the apostle attaches to the ordinance is seen in his willingness to place it within the venue of the church’s one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, and one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” Dr. Robert Reymond, A New Systematic Theology of the Christian Faith, 928. 

10.   Christian baptism is one of the more unique practices that differentiates itself from the world. This symbolic act declares the gospel to the world through the proclamation of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection and our old self’s death into His. 

11.  “Sometimes we refer to baptism as a symbol. That may be saying too little unless we remember that there are two ways to symbolize something. If you write the word LOVE on a blackboard for a group of 2nd graders and say that is the English language symbol for a commitment of the heart to someone's welfare, that's one kind of symbolism. But if you take your girlfriend out to a lagoon and sitting with her under a tree you pull a diamond ring out of your pocket and ask her to marry you and offer the ring as a symbol of your love, then you are doing something very different—you are expressing love through symbolic action. The teacher who writes LOVE on the board need not have any love. But the giving of a diamond ring is love in action. Baptism is a symbol of faith in that second sense.” Dr. John Piper, Thoughts on Baptism, delivered at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN, on September 29, 1980. 

12.  In Romans 6:3-4, Paul repeatedly uses the word, “into”. Paul is conveying the reality of our union with Jesus: His death becomes our death and his life will become our life. This happens by faith at the moment of salvation and is publicly identified at the celebration of baptism. Baptism allows us to express our faith through identifying ourselves with Jesus. 

13.  In the act of baptism we are remembering that Jesus was alive, He died on the cross for our sins, was buried in the grave, and came back to life again three days later. This reveals in us our death to our old sinful way of life, a burial, and our present spiritual resurrection as a new creature in Jesus (see I Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 6:3-11,35; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Colossians 2:12).

14.  Baptism does not wash away sin but demonstrates to others the obedience of scripture to be baptized. The result of this obedience is “an appeal to God for a good conscience...” 1 Peter 3:21.

15.  It is not possible, nor is it the purpose of this document, to fully defend baptism by immersion, although The Mount holds to it. The purpose is to state emphatically that no other form of baptism dramatically displays the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ-like immersion.

16.  Jesus speaks of being baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Baptism also “signifies union with the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost, and this means with the three persons of the Trinity, both in the unity expressed by their joint possession of the one name and in the richness of the distinctive relationship which each person of the Godhead sustains to the people of God in the economy of the covenant of grace.” John Murray, Christian Baptism, 7. 

17.  “The act of baptism conveys no direct spiritual benefit or blessing. In particular, we are not regenerated through baptism, for baptism presupposes faith and the salvation to which faith leads. It is, then, a testimony that one has already been regenerated.” Millard Erickson, Christian Theology, 1105. Since baptism is a “work”, it is not a means by which God imparts saving grace (see Eph 2:8-9).

18.  Throughout Acts, we find baptism explicitly related to repentance, receiving the Word, and believing and receiving the Holy Spirit. There is no explicit evidence to suggest that nonbelievers were baptized (see Acts 2:41,46; 8:38-39; 16:29-34). 

19.  In Paul’s writings, he uses baptism into Christ as a euphemism for salvation (see Rom 6:3; Gal 3:27, et al). 

20.  The Mount does not hold to “baptismal regeneration”, that is, baptism is essential for salvation. Baptism only pictures what has already taken place at the moment of salvation. “And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses.” Colossians 2:13.

21.  “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death.” Romans 6:3-4.

22.  “For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like His.” Romans 6:5. (see also 1 Corinthians 15:22) 

Sanctity of Human Life

We believe in the sanctity of human life, that God determines the boundaries of life and holds in His hands the two fragile ends of human experience, from life’s conception to its conclusion. This truth imparts extraordinary value to every life independent of gender, race, socioeconomic position, age, health, or otherwise. Such value likewise extends to the child not yet born, the mentally and physically challenged, and those who are at the conclusion of their life here on earth. 

Those who hold to biblical creation must attach great worth to human life and stand in its defense. Therefore, the church calls for all persons to abstain from abortive procedures.

The Mount Church also recognizes that many have been affected by the tragedy of abortion, and we offer the message of forgiveness by God for all believers who have been variously impacted. As a local congregation, we are to be a community of redemption and hope to all who suffer physical, emotional, and spiritual pain as a result of the willful termination of a pregnancy. (Genesis 1:27, 2:7; Psalm 22:9; 139:3-16; Isaiah 44:2, 24; 49:5; Jeremiah 1:5; Acts 17:25)

Marriage, Gender, & Sexuality

We believe that according to Scripture, God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. Rejection of one’s biological gender is a rejection of the image of God within that person.

We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning and that is marriage sanctioned by God which joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a biological man and a biological woman who are married to each other. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a biological man and a biological woman.

We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography, and attempting to change one’s biological sex or otherwise acting upon any disagreement with one’s biological sex) is sinful and offensive to God.

We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of the church as the local Body of Christ and to provide a biblical role model to the church members and the community, it is imperative that all persons employed by the church in any capacity, hold any leadership position, or who serve as volunteers, should abide by and agree to this Statement of Faith on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality and conduct themselves accordingly.

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with scripture nor the doctrines of the church. 

Scripture is our highest authority in all matters of belief and practice. While we attempt to address an overview of marriage, gender, and sexuality issues, we cannot address every particular sin that the culture presents. It is our desire to hold faithful to Scripture in every area without feeling compelled to name every individual sin. (Gen. 2:4-25; Isa. 62:5; Col. 3:18; Matt 19:4-6; Eph. 5:3, 22-27, 33; 1 Peter 3:7; Heb. 13:4; 1 Cor. 6:9, 18, 7:2-5, 11:1-16; 1 Thess. 4:3-5).

The Role of Men & Women in the Church

Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and authoritative written Word of God.

See: Exodus 24:4; Deuteronomy 4:1-2; 17:19; Joshua 8:34; Psalm 19:7-10; 119:11,89,105,140; Isaiah 34:16; 40:8; Jeremiah 15:16; 36:1-32; Matthew 5:17-18; 22:29; Luke 21:33; 24:44-46; John 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17; Acts 2:16; 17:11; Romans 15:4; 16:25-26; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-2; 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 1:19-21

Trinity

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

See: Genesis 1:1, 26, 3:22, 11:7; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 3:6, 13:14; John 16:8–11; 1 Corinthians 12:12–14; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 5:18

Jesus

We believe in the deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His role as our High Priest and Advocate, and in His bodily future return to this earth in power and glory.

See: Genesis 18:1; Psalm 2:7; 110:1; Isaiah 7:14; 53; Matthew 1:18-23; 3:17; 8:29; 11:27: 14:33; 16:16,27; 17:5; 27; 28:1-6,19; Mark 1:1; 3:11; Luke 1:35; 4:41; 22:70; 24:46;  John 1:1-18,29; 10:30, 38; 11:25-27; 12:44-50; 14:7-11; 16:15-16,28; 17:1-5, 21-22; 20:1-20,28; Acts 1:9; 2:22-24; 7:55-56; 9:4-5,20; Romans 1:3-4; 3:23-26; 5:6-21; 8:1-3,34; 10:4; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2:2; 8:6; 15:1-8,24-28; 2 Corinthians 5:19-21; 8:9; Galatians 4:4-5; Ephesians 1:20; 3:11; 4:7-10; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:13-22; 2:9;  1 Thessalonians 4:14-18; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; 3:16; Titus 2:13-14; Hebrews 1:1-3; 4:14-15; 7:14-28; 9:12-15,24-28; 12:2; 13:8; 1 Peter 2:21-25; 3:22; 1 John 1:7-9; 3:2; 4:14-15; 5:9; 2 John 7-9; Revelation 1:13-16; 5:9-14; 12:10-11; 13:8; 19:16

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit restrains evil, glorifies Jesus, convicts man of sin, regenerates the spiritually dead, seals the believer for the day of redemption, indwells the believer as His temple, illuminates the believer to appraise Scripture, bestows spiritual gifts on the believer for the common good, and empowers the believer for godly living and service.

See: Genesis 1:2; Judges 14:6; Job 26:13; Psalm 51:11; 139:7; Isaiah 61:1-3; Joel 2:28-32; Matthew 1:18; 3:16; 4:1; 12:28-32; 28:19; Mark 1:10,12; Luke 1:35; 4:1,18-19; 11:13; 12:12; 24:49; John 4:24; 14:16-17,26; 15:26; 16:7-14; Acts 1:8; 2:1-4,38; 4:31; 5:3; 6:3; 7:55; 8:17,39; 10:44; 13:2; 15:28; 16:6; 19:1-6; Romans 8:9-11,14-16,26-27; 1 Corinthians 2:10-14; 3:16; 12:3-11,13; Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30; 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:19; 1 Timothy 3:16; 4:1; 2 Timothy 1:14; 3:16; Hebrews 9:8,14; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 John 4:13; 5:6-7; Revelation 1:10; 22:17

Man

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, that through Adam’s sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God, and that man is totally depraved (thoroughly corrupt and sinful) and of himself utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.

See: Genesis 1:26-27; 8:21; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:10-18, 21-23; 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3, 8-13; Colossians 2:13; Titus 1:15-16

Salvation

We believe that all who place their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins are justified by God as a gift by His grace, that the basis for salvation is the blood Jesus shed on the cross through His sacrificial and substitutionary death, that saving faith must be in Jesus alone, that a believer is progressively sanctified, and that salvation results in the spiritual life of the believer who is held securely forever by God.

See: Matthew 1:21; 4:17; 16:21-26; 27:22-28:6; Luke 1:68-69; 2:28-32; John 1:11-14,29; 3:3-21,36; 5:24; 6:44; 10:9,28-29; 15:1-16; 17:17; Acts 2:21; 4:12; Romans 1:16-18; 2:4; 3:23-25; 4:3; 5:8-10; 6:1-23; 8:1-18,29-39; 10:9-10,13; 13:11-14; 1 Corinthians 1:18,30; 6:19-20; 15:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Galatians 2:20; 3:13; 5:22-25; 6:15; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-22; 4:11-16; Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 1:9-22; 3:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24;  2 Timothy 1:12; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 2:1-3; 5:8-9; 9:24-28; 11:1-12:8,14; James 2:14-26; 1 Peter 1:2-23; 1 John 1:6-2:11; Revelation 3:20; 21:1-22:5

Church

We believe that The Church began at Pentecost and is comprised of all born-again persons in this age, that Jesus is the head of The Church, that The Church is Jesus’ Body & Bride, and that local expressions of The Church assemble for the purpose of observing the ordinances and for worship, Bible study, fellowship, encouragement, unity, and carrying out the Great Commission.

See: Matthew 16:15-19; 18:15-20; Acts 2:41-42,47; 5:11-14; 6:3-6; 13:1-3; 14:23,27; 15:1-30; 16:5; 20:28; Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 3:16; 5:4-5; 7:17; 9:13-14; 12; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:8-11,21; 5:22-32; Philippians 1:1; Colossians 1:18; 1 Timothy 2:9-14; 3:1-15; 4:14; Hebrews 11:39-40; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Revelation 2-3; 21:2-3

Future

We believe in the bodily return of Jesus and in the resurrection of the saved and the lost, the saved to everlasting life and the lost to everlasting damnation, and that God will execute final judgment over Satan, sin, and death.

See: Isaiah 2:4; 11:9; Matthew 16:27; 18:8-9; 19:28; 24:27,30,36,44; 25:31-46; 26:64; Mark 8:38; 9:43-48; Luke 12:40,48; 16:19-26; 17:22-37; 21:27-28; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:11; 17:31; Romans 14:10; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 15:24-28,35-58; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Philippians 3:20-21; Colossians 1:5; 3:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18; 5:1; 2 Thessalonians 1:7; 2; 1 Timothy 6:14; 2 Timothy 4:1,8; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 9:27-28; James 5:8; 2 Peter 3:7; 1 John 2:28; 3:2; Jude 14; Revelation 1:18; 3:11; 20:1-22:13
