Canadian Baptists of Ontario & Quebec
Baptists share many basic biblical convictions with other Christians, such as:
- The belief in one God
- The Trinity
- The human and divine nature of Jesus Christ
- The significance of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection for salvation.
However, there are a combination of beliefs held among Baptists that can readily be identified, and have come to be known as “Baptist Distinctives”.
1. Jesus is Lord
2. The Word of God is the Authoritative Rule of Faith and Practice.
3. The Priesthood of All Believers
4. A Believers’ Church
5. Believer’s Baptism by Immersion
6. Congregational Government
7. Separation of Church and State
The constitution of Edmison Baptist is shaped to uphold these beliefs, even as we affirm our affiliation with the Trent Valley Association and the Convention.
In addition to this, both the local church and the association are in formal covenant relationship with the CBOQ; in this we pledge to honour these agreed upon core values of the Baptist tradition.
