The Unnoticed Baptist Distinctive

Our recent Baptist literature has made a big point that we believe the Bible. In fact, the “B” in Baptist stands for the Bible. Historically we have believed that the Bible is the verbally inspired, inerrant Word of God. We also believe that God’s child should walk in obedience to its plain statements literally interpreted. Moreover, we will memorize passages of the Bible, thereby hiding it in our hearts. Of the four statements of faith that we have treasured in the last century and a half, all have said essentially these things.

Committed to a Cause

Faith Baptist Theological Seminary is not a new idea. We have reflected on the possibility of such a school for many years. This fall Faith Baptist Bible College gave birth to the Seminary in order to reaffirm and strengthen our basic commitment to Bible-centered education. 1. Faith “Faith” is common to the names of both the Bible College and Seminary. Omaha Bible Institute began classes in 1921, with a desire to train well-equipped Christian workers. In 1952, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to declare their doctrinal and spiritual agreement with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, and to include “Baptist” in the school’s name.
