What we Believe as a Baptist

Top of the morning to you all, we greet you in Divine Love, we pray that you and your family are walking under an open heaven!!!
Wednesday we had new members class at 6:00pm, I thank God for the new members who are excited about becoming apart of the family of New Beginning Church. The Lesson we studied in new members class was "Growing as a Christian" we dealt with five principles, let me give them to you, Principle 1. You must read the bible. Principle 2. You must Pray. Principle 3. You must have a church fellowship. Principle 4. You must witness for Christ. Principle 5. You must obey God. When we dealt with Principle 2, you must pray, we focused on 4 important areas of prayer: 1)Adoration, 2)Confession, 3) Thanksgiving, 4)Supplication. The class was an awesome class.
We started our mid week bible class at 7:00pm, we are still studying the Articles of Faith, Wednesday nights Article was, Article 6, The Freeness of Salvation- We believe that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the gospel; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial, penitent, and obedient faith; and that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth but his own inherent depravity and voluntary rejection of the gospel; which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation.
We were sharing with the family that not matter how bad we think a person is, they still can be saved by the grace of God!!
Let me ask you this question and I am watching for your responses, what is it in us that makes us think that child molester's and drug dealers can't be saved!!!!
