Baptist History, Heritage and Distinctives – Augustine: The Dr. of Predestination

Augustine was an enemy of God and Christianity. By expanding on the teaching of the Romish priest Cyprian much of his dogma was adopted as doctrine by the early apostate RCC.

Augustine was also the Doctor of predestination 1000 years before Calvin was even born. Both Calvin and Luther, as RCC priests, studied Augustine’s writings and were heavily influenced by him. Some say Luther was more “reformed” than Calvin. None the less it was John Calvin who was stirred and influenced by the writings of Augustine further corrupting the doctrines of God’s Holy Scripture when he penned his Institutes.

Augustine taught that if you left the catholic church you would be damned. All that fear was erased with Luther’s Protestant teaching of a universal spiritual church that you could enter with the same paedo baptism as the RCC.

The Reformation was never intended as a means of leaving the RCC, it was a protest regarding doctrine. The Protesters were excommunicated creating a ‘church split’ (cough) ….notice they took with them the same infant rhantism/ baptismal regeneration, reformed theology and a state church government. Protestantism is in essence a rebellious daughter of pseudo Christianity. Luther substituted Augustine teaching of “universal” (catholic) church as the one and only true church and created the spiritual counterpart: universal invisible spiritual church.

Likewise, modern day neo-Baptist have unwittingly fallen prey to the protestant teaching of being ‘spirit baptized’ into the mystical body of Christ; a three-fold rejection of what was taught by Christ, the apostles and their “Baptistic” forefathers.
