Are You Going To Heaven?
Dear Friend,
Salvation is the most important issue in this life, for it is of eternal value. Have you ever been born again? "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3). The question IS NOT, "Do you go to church?" or "Do you tithe?" or "Do you pray?" No, the question is, "Have you ever been born again?"
If you have never been born again, when you die you will be damned eternally in a devil's hell. According to the Bible there is a hell. Hell is a place of eternal torment and pain, a place of literal burning hell fire, a place where the lost are eternally separated from God and the saved. (Luke 12:5; Matthew 23:33; Luke 13:28; Luke 16:25; Mark 9:44, 46, 48; Luke 16:26; 2 Thessalonians 1:9). Whether one believes in a hell or not doesn't change the truth of God's word. There is a hell!
Only Jesus can save
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) "Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:" (Acts 13:38). "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) Baptism, confirmation, sacraments, confession to a priest, church membership, repeating a prayer, etc. cannot save.
Jesus must save alone
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8, 9) It's not Jesus plus something, or Jesus minus something--it is Jesus alone. "Through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved..." (Acts 15:11)
Jesus saves only sinners
"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost." (Matthew 18:11) "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Luke 5:32) "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." (1 Timothy 1:15)
The fact is everyone is a sinner and stands in need of salvation, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), but only those who have been convicted by the Holy Spirit of their sinful state can be saved.
"And when he [the Holy Spirit] is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:" (John 16:8) "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him..." (John 6:44)
Conditions are simple
Turn from sin--"Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." (Acts 20:21) "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3)
Turn to Jesus--"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" (John 1:12)
Come as you are--"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." (Isaiah 1:18) "But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick." (Matthew 9:12) "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37)
The Philippian jailer asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16:30, 31) If you will trust Christ and your family will trust Christ then you will all go to heaven! What a glorious thing to be in heaven with your loved ones!
Delay is dangerous
"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;" (Hebrews 2:3) The rich man in the parable presumed he had plenty of time. "But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee..." (Luke 12:20) "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy." (Proverbs 29:1)
"Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." (Hebrews 4:7) "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." (2 Corinthians 6:2)
If you come to Christ for salvation, He will receive you
"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37)
Real Salvation will effect a change
Do not deceive yourself with a profession of faith. A real relationship with Jesus will change your entire life. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17) If Christ has dealt with your heart and you have received Him as Lord and Saviour then your life will change. The fruits of the Spirit will be in your life (Galatians. 5:22-24). You will have a desire to read the word of God (1 Peter 2:2). You will want to follow the Lord in believers baptism and join a New Testament Baptist Church (Acts 2:41, 47)

Beacon Baptist Church
Calling Sinners to Christ and Building Believers on the Word
Ministries
The "in-reach" ministries of Beacon Baptist Church are designed to strengthen members in the faith by doctrine, prayer, and fellowship. Our approach is to integrate every member into the church family; whether married or single, adult or child.
| Sunday School | Ladies' Bible Study | Children's Choir | Family Camp |
| Youth Fellowship | Men's Prayer Breakfast | Adult Fellowship | |
Sunday School
"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you..." -Mat 28:20
Our classes are interactive, instructive, and inspiring for each believer who has a sincere desire to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." (2 Pet 3:18).
Each Sunday School class at Beacon Baptist Church is centered on the inspired, inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, Living Word of God--Jesus Christ!
Our classes are designed to give knowledge and understanding to the teachings of God's word. Each class seeks to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and His word, evangelize the lost, and edify the saved.
Our classes are also designed to give dedicated, on-fire-for-God members an opportunity to serve. We rotate our teachers every quarter (3 months) for that purpose.
Come and learn more about us and God's word!
Ladies Bible Study
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." -Mat 21:22
Each month, our ladies get together at one of the member's homes and have a time of devotion, prayer, and fellowship. The devotions are centered around issues that affect you as a lady, wife, mother, etc.. This is a wonderful time to draw closer to one another and to the Lord.
You do not have to be a member of the church to attend the Ladies Prayer Band . Nor do you have to pray out loud if you do not want to (usually those who feel led to pray will do so). If you have a sincere desire to know more about God and to fellowship with women who are striving to please Him, you are welcome to come and be a part of this uplifting time!
The Ladies Bible Study is usually held on the 3rd Thursday Night of each month from 7:00-10:00. If you would like to attend, you can contact us to find out where the next Ladies Prayer Band will be held.
Children's Choir
"Out of the Mouth of Babes and Sucklings, though has ordained praise." -Psalm 8
Each Sunday, our children learn to open their mouths and lift up their hearts to God in song.
We strive to teach our children songs that will influence their thoughts and decisiions for the rest of their lives.
Family Camp
"...Fellowhip in the gospel..." -Philippians 1:4
We started the tradition of Family Camp in 2006. We had another fun time this year.
This is a time of fellowship, preaching, and games. It is a great time for Fathers, Mothers, and Children to spend together.
For more details, please contact us.
Youth Fellowship Night
"I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts." -Psalm 119:63
Every 2nd and 4th Friday night from 7:00-10:00 PM, we have Youth Fellowship Night at the church. We start off with some games and fellowship and then have a short devotion and prayer and then some more fun. This is a great time to come together in a good environment (other believers) and have a great time in the Lord.
In a day that is increasingly hard for young people to find a place to escape "the wiles of the devil" (Eph 6:11), here you will find a haven for fellowship and an opportunity to make new friendships with other believers who want to live for the Lord.
You do not have to be a member of the church to come to the Youth Fellowship Night . You do have to have a desire to live for God, make friends, and have an appetite for snacks! Contact us if you would like to find out about the next Youth Fellowship Night.
Men's Prayer Breakfast
"Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer..." -Acts 3:1
Once a month, usually the second Saturday of each month, our men meet together at the church at 8:00 in the morning to have breakfast and fellowship and then devotion and prayer. This is a great time to draw closer to one another as men of God and to God Himself.
You do not have to be a member of the church to attend the Men's Prayer Breakfast . If you have a sincere desire to know more about God and to fellowship with men who are striving to please Him, you are welcome to come and be a part of this uplifting time! You are not required to pray out loud (usually those who feel led to pray will do so). Contact us if you would like to find out about the next Men's Prayer Breakfast .
Adult Fellowship Night
"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship..." -Acts 2:42
Fellowship with other believers is an important part to keeping us strong in the Lord. The old military strategy of "divide and conquer" has ever been employed by Satan and his imps to defeat God's people.
Once a month, usually the first Friday night of each month (from 7:00-10:00), we come together at the church for a time of food, fun, and fellowship. Who says adults can't have a good time in the Lord? This is a great time for our members to draw closer to one another in the Lord. The Adult Fellowship helps to integrate each member into the church family and build lasting relationships. We need each other! This is a wonderful time to "let your hair down!"
You do not have to be a member of the church to come to our Adult Fellowship night, as long as you come with a desire to fellowship with God's people and desire to have some good, clean fun! Contact us if you would like to find out about the next Adult Fellowship .
