Beliefs of the BMA:

Baptist Missionary Association of America
The 1,384 churches and missions of the Baptist Missionary Association of America share the orthodox views of most Christians:

  • The trinity of God
  • The virgin birth and deity of Jesus Christ
  • The verbal inspiration of the Scriptures
  • The death, burial, and resurrection of Christ
  • The return of Christ
In addition, the churches composing the Baptist Missionary Association of America maintain the historic Baptist principles:
  • Salvation by grace through faith alone
  • Believer's baptism by immersion
  • The eternal security of the believer
  • The priesthood of the believer
  • Religious liberty for all
  • The separation of church and state
What specific characteristics make the Baptist Missionary Association of America different from other Baptist groups?
  • The church is the unit of cooperation.
  • The church is autonomous, cooperating voluntarily and directly choosing all the officers, directors, and missionaries of the association.
  • The church is respected, cooperating equally with the same number of voting representatives as the other churches, regardless of the size of church membership or financial contributions.
  • The church is primary; the association only exists to expedite the ministries of the church.
  • The ordinances of the church are given prominence. Baptism is an act of obedience, not an optional preference, for each believer.
  • Baptism is related to the church; therefore, the church must be scriptural for its baptism to be scriptural.
  • The Lord's Supper is a memorial to be observed within the context of the church, the local assembly of baptized believers.
  • The mission of the church is strategic.
  • Each church should evangelize its local area.
  • Each church should join other churches in sending missionary personnel to other areas in the United States as well as every country on earth
