- Who Can Be Saved? - It is God's will that all be saved, but since man has the power of choice (free will) God saves only those who repent of their sin and believe in the work of Christ on the cross.
- Perseverance - We believe that there are strong grounds to hope that the saved will persevere unto the end, and be saved because of the power of divine grace pledged for their support. We believe that any saved person who has sinned, but has the desire to repent, may do so and be restored to God's favor and fellowship.
- Gospel Ordinances - Free Will Baptists believe the Bible teaches three ordinances for the church to practice:
- Baptism in water by immersion
- The Lord's Supper, to be perpetuated until His return
- The washing of the Saints' feet, an ordinance in teaching humility
- Resurrection - Free Will Baptists believe the Scriptures teach the resurrection of the bodies of all men, each in its own order; they that have done good will come forth to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil to the resurrection of damnation.
- Church Government - Free Will Baptist churches enjoy local church autonomy (self-governing). The local church is the highest authority in the denomination. They voluntarily organize themselves into quarterly meetings, district, state, and national associations for the purpose of promoting the cause of Christ.
- Christ's Second Coming - The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, who ascended on high and sits at the right hand of God, will come again to close the Gospel dispensation, glorify His saints, and judge the world.
- Missions - Free Will Baptists believe that Jesus commanded the church to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
