WEST BASINGSTOKE BAPTIST CHURCH is a local independent church, meeting together as directed in the Scriptures, for praise, worship, teaching, fellowship and the winning of souls to Christ. We warmly invite you to come to our services and hear the Gospel preached and the Scriptures taught in a clear, positive, and helpful manner.
WHAT IS THE
GOSPEL?
For God so loved
the world that
he gave his Only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not Perish, but
have
Everlasting
Life.
John 3:16
The word “gospel” means “good news”. Every
one, the Bible tells us, is a sinner both by nature
and by choice. We have offended God’s holiness
and broken His just laws.1 Not one of us, by
our
own merit, will be able to stand before God on
judgement day,2 and be declared righteous in His
sight.3 As things stand, every one of us is
guilty of
sin, and stands justly condemned before Him.
However, as the above verse tells us, God loves
us so much that He sent His only begotten Son,
Jesus Christ, into the world that we might live
through Him.4 By His death on the cross, Christ
took upon Himself the full punishment that was
due for our sins. If you believe that He died for your sins,
that God raised Him from the dead on the third day for your
justification, and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, then
you will be saved.5

We are BIBLE BELIEVING
We accept the Bible literally, believe that it is
wholly without error or omission, and accept it as
our only rule of faith and practice. We believe in
the literal account of Creation as recorded in the
book of Genesis.
We believe in
■ The Divine Inspiration and Preservation
of the Bible
■ The Trinity of The Godhead,
■ The Virgin Birth of Christ Jesus,
■ The Substitutionary Atonement of Christ
(Christ took our place on the cross at Calvary),
■ Salvation by Grace through Faith Alone,
■ The Bodily Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and
■ The Literal Bodily Return of Jesus Christ
(Second Coming).
We are INDEPENDENT
Independent means that Jesus Christ is the head
of our local church and we are not bound to, or
controlled by, any other church or organisation.
The members of this local church alone are
responsible before the Lord to follow the teachings
of the Bible.
“For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13
