Beliefs

Although we come from vastly different backgrounds, we believe in unity in Christ. While we may disagree about details and interpretations at Highpoint, we do have core beliefs that unite us and where we place our focus:

There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Romans 8; Ephesians 1:13-14)

The Bible is the inspired word of God and is the final authority in how we live and what we believe. (2 Timothy 3:16)

Even though we were his enemies, God, out of love for us, sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and raised him from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Romans 5:6-11)

Those trusting Jesus should repent of sin, confess their faith and be baptized. (Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38)

Salvation is the free gift of God. The death of Christ on the cross is the only sufficient payment for our sins. All have sinned, but all can be saved. This salvation is available for anyone who puts their trust in Christ as their Savior. (Romans 3:23, 6:23; John 3:16)

The church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to reach people for Jesus, helping everyone to become a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 4:1-16)

Christ will one day return and we will be with the Lord forever! (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

Baptism

We recognize that people come from many different backgrounds regarding this beautiful sacrament. The document referenced below, written by Max Lucado, describes Highpoint’s teaching position about baptism. This article is useful for:

Those who have never been baptized.

This study will help you appreciate the importance of baptism. If you have never been baptized in any form you’ll see why we encourage you to do so.

Those who have been baptized by immersion.

It is our prayer that this study will give you new insights into the beauty, simplicity, and significance of this demonstration of devotion.

Those who have been baptized, but not by immersion.

We have many members who were baptized by sprinkling, usually as infants. This paper will help you see why we baptize by immersion. It also explains why we don’t baptize infants. We urge you to read the paper and consider adult baptism. If you choose not to be immersed at this time, we still welcome you as a member. We ask only that you respect our teaching position.

If you’re interested in baptism, please feel free to contact our Lead Pastor, TW Davis.
