Fundamental:  Bible Way Baptist Church Aruba believes that there are certain essential truths which should be believed and defended by all Christians.

1.  The Scriptures: We believe that the Bible (66 books) was written by men who were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21) and inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16).  This inspiration was verbal (each word - 1 Corinthians 2:9-13) and plenary (completely - 2 Timothy 3:16-17) and extends to the original writings.  It is the true center of Christian union and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried. We furthermore believe that God has preserved His Word in the King James Bible for the English speaking people. We do only preach and teach from the King James Bible.

2.  Deity of Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God.  He asserts oneness with the Father (John 10:10) and is called God (Hebrews 1:8).  We believe He has the characteristics of God (John. 8:58, Matthew 28:18) and is of the same substance as the Father (Colossians 2:9), therefore, He is God.

3.  Virgin Birth: We believe the coming of Christ "in the flesh" was predicted by Isaiah and processed by the Virgin Birth (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6).  He was born of Mary alone (Matthew 1:16) and conceived of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35).

4.  Substitutionary Atonement: We believe Christ died in the place of sinners (1 Peter 3:18) in order to pay the debt owed by sinful man to a righteous God (1 John 2:2).

5.  Bodily Resurrection of Christ: We believe Christ arose from death and the grave after three days (Luke 24:36-46; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
