“Evening Service” Scott Lake Baptist Church (Lakeland)
Why We Believe…
“Individual Soul Liberty”
1. Every Christian has the BIBLE to show them the way (2Timothy 3:16-17)
2. Every Christian is RESPONSIBLE for what they believe (Romans 14:5-8)
3. Every Christian will give an account for HIMSELF (Romans 14:9-12; 2Corinthians 5:10)
