Principles of Baptist Distinctiveness
As a Baptist seminary affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, Logsdon Seminary affirms seven foundational principles of Baptist identity:
- The supreme authority of the living Christ
- The centrality of the Bible as the essential and trustworthy guide for life and faith
- The reality of salvation by grace
- The priesthood of every believer and the autonomy of the individual soul before God
- The liberty of conscience and religious freedom in society and church
- The autonomy of the local church and congregational authority within the church
- The priority of missions and ministry in the life of the church
