Beacon Missionary Baptist Church, Redding, California, Doctrinal Statement
“The Bible - We believe that the Holy Bible is a
supernatural Book; that it is the very God-breathed Word; that it is the full,
the final, and the complete revelation of God’s will to man; that it has God the
Holy Spirit for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any
admixture of error for its matter; that it was written by holy men of old as
they were moved by the Holy Spirit; that it is verbally inspired and a perfect
treasure of holy instruction; and that it reveals the principles by which God
will judge us, and is, therefore, the true center of Christian union, and the
supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions shall be
tried. We believe the Authorized King James Version of 1611 to be the preserved
Word of God for the English speaking people, faithful and true to the original
autographs; that other versions are inferior and flawed, with some being
outright perversions of God’s Word; that other versions are totally unnecessary,
as the King James is not only faithful, but an absolutely effective conveyance
of God’s message to mankind.”

We reject modern translations of the scriptures. We only use the King James Version.”

“The Bible. We believe the Holy Scriptures, composed of the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament and the twenty-seven books of the New Testament, are the verbally inspired Word and Revelation of God. The Bible is inerrant, infallible, God-breathed. The initial miracle of divine inspiration of the original autographs also extends to the divine preservation of a pure text to this day. Therefore, we have the very Word of God in the King James Version preserved through the Hebrew Masoretic Text and the Greek Textus Receptus. We stand firmly as a King James only church.”
