As an alumni association, we are committed to perpetuating these values in and through our members. The true child of God is not under the Law but under grace; he is saved by grace and disciplined by grace. Man is saved by undeserved mercy through faith and nothing of man enters into his salvation; it is a free gift. Mans efforts, regardless of how good or well intended, before or after salvation, have nothing to do with it. Salvation is by the finished work of Christ and nothing can be added to it. Every true child of God possesses eternal life and is, therefore, safe and secure for all eternity, being justified by faith, sanctified by God, and sealed by the Holy Spirit; he cannot lose his salvation. Salvation is not the result of what we do, but is by receiving what God has done for us. Man can be certain of his salvation now, and his salvation cannot be lost because eternal life is eternal. It is every Christian's privilege and duty to make clear God's plan of salvation wherever and in whatever vocation he or she may be. It is a tragedy that many Christians live shallow Christian lives. FBC is dedicated to the task of training Christian men and women in the importance of total dedication and making Jesus the Lord of their lives not to be saved but because they are saved.
