The Teachings Of The Olive Grove Baptist Church

By Maria Mitchell


A church is a special place. It is more than just the building. It is the collective gathering of believers for the purpose of praise and worship. The first church was in Jerusalem, Israel. The first Christians managed to take the gospel far and wide. According to the Great Commission of Christianity, Christians should take the good gospel to all the four corners of the world. When Christianity reached Europe, Roman Catholicism started. Later, there was the Great Reformation that led to the Protestant Movement. The Olive Grove Baptist Church is part of the Protestant congregation.

The Southern Baptist movement is the biggest Protestant congregation in the United States of America. As a matter of fact, most Americans are Baptists. A good number of the founding fathers were Baptists. America is a Christian nation. It was founded on Christian principles. That is why it is one of the most successful nations in the world.

The number one teaching of the Baptist Church is the teaching of morality. As a matter of fact, morality exalts a nation. However, sin is a reproach to any society. Moral living has earthly and eternal rewards. Immoral living has earthly consequences and an eternal punishment in the scorching fires of hell. Actually, hell is real. It is not fiction.

A true Christian will follow the moral path of life. He will think moral thoughts and all his actions will be moral in every sense and respect. Being moral in Christianity means fully abiding to the Ten Commandments. Of all the commandments that were given to human beings, there is no commandment that is greater than the commandment of love.

American churches have tried their level best to teach their congregations about the wages of sin. Of course, sin will result in eternal death while righteousness in eternal life. A Christian who has eyes to see and ears to hear will internalize this message and live according to it. It is always good to be aware of the consequences of sinning.

As much as the dangers of sins are preached, the teaching of baptism is also preached. The best pastors always teach their followers that all sins are forgivable. It is expected for humans to sin because of their fragile and imperfect nature. That is the reason why there is a path out of sin and it involves the baptism process.

It is important to remember that this is the age of grace. In this age, there is grace for even a sinner who has committed the vilest sins. Such a sinner can be baptized and he will be forgiven of all sins and no account of sin will be held against him. However, the window of grace is quickly closing.

All teachings of the Baptist Church come directly from the Bible. This is the holiest book in Christianity. The Holy Bible is the most translated book on earth. Scripture is available in hundreds of language. The Bible is holy and true. It never lies. Heaven and earth will pass away but no single word of Scripture will pass without being fulfilled.
