Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous...
Faith, Hope and Love
Iglesia Bíblica Bautista Internacional is a community of believers committed to faithful Bible teaching, spiritual growth and serving our community in Punta Arenas, Patagonia. We believe every person can find purpose and transformation through the love of Christ.
Our Beliefs
The Bible
We affirm the Scriptures as the absolute, sole and authoritative rule and source for faith and practice. God's Word has been preserved for us today.
Psalm 12:6-7
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection and His second coming.
John 1:1; Isaiah 7:14; 1 John 2:1-2
Salvation
Salvation is by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ, not by works. We emphasize the eternal security of the believer's soul.
Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5
The Church
We recognize two biblical uses: the spiritual body of Christ and autonomous local assemblies. Two ordinances (water baptism and the Lord's Supper) and two offices (pastor and deacon).
Acts 2:41-47
Doctrine
Baptist doctrine with traditional worship. We believe in the sovereign gifts of the Holy Spirit for the edification of the church. Practical biblical Christianity with moderate dispensationalism.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”2 Timothy 3:16
