President - Dr. Braxton Baker

s president of Evangelism Missions, Inc., I have never been more excited about the potential of reaching the world with the Gospel of Christ. Never before has there been more opportunity for the salvation of souls worldwide. At E.M.I. we are dedicated to fulfilling that great task. We exist to help those who the Lord has called to go to the ends of the earth with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. From home missions to the jungles of Africa, we are dedicated to the fulfillment of the "Great Commission". For over a quarter of a century E.M.I. has helped the local church to try to accomplish this task. The E.M.I. family invites you to gain the "Advantage" of this unique ministry. We stand ready, willing, and able to help accomplish that which God has called you to do.

President, E.M.I.
 
 
 


     We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God in its entirety. The Bible was written by men as they were supernaturally inspired (moved by the Holy Ghost - II Peter 1:21). The Bible is the sole authority for Christian faith and conduct. We believe that the King James Version (KJV) is the Word of God for the English-speaking people.

     We believe, as someone once said, that a Biblical Baptist "...is one who believes in a supernatural Bible, which tells of a supernatural Christ, who had a supernatural birth, who spoke supernatural words, who performed supernatural miracles, who lived a supernatural life, who died a supernatural death, who rose in supernatural splendor, who intercedes as a supernatural priest, and who will one day return in supernatural glory to establish a supernatural kingdom on earth."


     We believe in one God, eternal existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are equal in every divine perfection, and execute distinct, harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.


     We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Ghost, in a miraculous manner; born of Mary, a virgin, as no other man was ever born or can ever be born of a woman, and that He is both the Son of God and God the Son


     We believe that the Holy Spirit was active in creation; that in His relation to the unbelieving world He restrains the Evil One until God’s purpose is fulfilled; He bears witness to the truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony; that He is the agent in the New Birth; that He seals, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, and helps believers.


     We believe that man was created in innocence under the law of his Maker, but by voluntary transgression, fell from his sinless state, and as a result all people are now sinners, not by constraint, but out of choice; and therefore under just condemnation without excuse or defense.


     We believe that Christ Jesus bore our sins in His own body as He died on Calvary’s tree; was buried and rose again the third day. We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace through faith (Eph. 2:8,9); that salvation is God’s gift to humanity (Rom. 6:23) and is received solely through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. (I Cor. 15:14)


     We believe that those who are born-again by receiving Jesus Christ as Savior are eternally secure. The finished work of Christ assures this and all believers are kept by the power of God, securely "in Christ" forever.


     We believe in the personal, pre-tribulational and pre-millennial, imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.


     We believe in the literal fulfillment of the prophecies in the Scriptures that promise the future regeneration and restoration of the nation of Israel.


     We believe in the eternal blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious suffering of the lost


     We believe that the Bible ordinances of the church are baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper. They should be administered to believers only by the local church as the ordinances picture the Christian’s belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ


     We believe that the church is a congregation of baptized born-again believers as they practice New Testament principles, believe New Testament doctrines, and observe New Testament ordinances, while exercising autonomy. Every local church is responsible for the "Great Commission" and is to have a part in the ministry of getting the Gospel around the world.


     We take a separatist stand regarding the current trends that lead to discrediting the Bible and undermining the fundamentals of the faith. These trends include the New Age movement, neo-orthodoxy, neo-evangelicalism, the ecumenical movement, and the charismatic movement.
