'Beliefs Important to Baptists'
lessons now available from BGCT
___A new series of undated Bible studies on who Baptists are and what they believe is being published by the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
___"Beliefs Important to Baptists" is a product of the BGCT's Baptist Distinctives Committee.
___One lesson provides an overview of who Baptists are, and each of the remaining 12 lessons focuses on a key belief of Baptists.
___The Bible study materials will be available for use in churches next month. The study is designed for use in various settings, including adult Sunday School classes, Discipleship Training, Wednesday evening studies or in new-member classes.
___Lessons are packaged in four units. Each study contains member lessons and a teacher's book. The teacher's book contains both the member lessons and suggestions for teaching.
___"Who in the World Are Baptists, Anyway?" is a single Bible study lesson that summarizes basic biblical understandings about who Baptists are, what they believe and how they live.
___The other three studies in the series are produced in four-lesson units that may be studied in any order.
___Volume one provides a study of the authority of the Bible, believer's baptism and church membership, congregational church government, and evangelism and missions.
___Volume two provides a study of salvation by grace through faith, soul competency and the priesthood of the believer, baptism and the Lord's Supper, and the autonomy of the local congregation.
___Volume three provides a study of the deity and lordship of Jesus Christ, the security of the believer, voluntary cooperation among churches, religious freedom and separation of church and state.
