What Baptists Believe About the True God


Prayer: That each one of us may come to know more about the true God.






II. OF THE TRUE GOD

We believe that there is one, and only one living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, whose name is JEHOVAH, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth;(1) inexpressibly glorious in holiness,(2) and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love; (3) that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; (4) equal in every divine perfection,(5) and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.(6)
