Ridgewood Baptist Academy

The Word of God is the sole source for our instruction in spiritual matters. We emphasize the Christian life with the Bible as the standard. The Academy affirms each of the following eight truths:

1. The BIBLE is the inspired Word of God and the Christian's final authority from God.
   (II Timothy 3:16)
    
2. The birth of Jesus Christ is evidence of His deity, in that He was virgin born God in the flesh.
   (Matthew 1:20, I Timothy 3:15)
    
3. The blood of Christ, shed on Calvary, is the only atonement for man's sin.
   (Hebrews 9:22, I Peter 1:18-19, I John 1:7, Hebrews 10:12-29)
    
4. The burial and bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the tomb, and His ascension into Heaven.
   (I Corinthians 15:1-4, Acts 1:11)
    
5. The body of Christ that is called "The Church" is that body composed of all believers, who by faith have accepted Christ as Lord.
   (Ephesians 5)
    
6. The blessed hope and the personal premillenial return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
   (Titus 2:15, I Thessalonians 4:15-16)
    
7. The being of the Godhead existing from all eternity as a trinity; three persons, but one in substance, one in nature.
   (Matthew 28:18-19, Mark 12:9, John 1:14)
    
8. The believer's call to a life of consecration as giving evidence to the world that the Lord Jesus saves, keeps, and satisfies.
   (Romans 12:1)
