How Does a Person Become
a Member of
Seaview Baptist Church?
A
person may become a member of this church by one of the following
means:
- Baptism
- We teach believer's baptism by immersion upon a profession of faith
in Jesus Christ as one's Savior and a commitment to following Him
as the Lord of one's life. This includes an acknowledgment of one's
sinfulness and a desire to be forgiven for that sin and a recognition
that Jesus' death on the cross was because of our sin.
- Letter of
Transfer - If a person belongs to another congregation and has
experienced believer's baptism, they may join the membership of Seaview
upon our sending for their letter of transfer from that congregation.
(Note: If a person is a member of another congregation but has not
been baptized as a believer, we'd be delighted to encourage them in
a recommitment of their life to Christ and believer's baptism.)
- Experience
- If a person has experienced believer's baptism and their membership
in another church can no longer be traced (due to fire, or lost records,
church closing, etc.) they may upon their profession of faith in Jesus
as Lord and Savior be received into membership.
- Restoration
- This is when a person has become inactive in their membership here
at Seaview and have been dropped from the church rolls. If they experience
a renewal of spirit and wish to be restored to membership they may
do so upon a recommitment of their life to Christ.
