GUIDE 35  · THE KINGDOM OF GOD – UNDERSTANDING (2) Baptist Church History | Facebook

The kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven are used 101 times throughout Scripture (not just in the gospels). Considering how often this term is used, it is of great importance that we not overlook its significance. The Kingdom of God (as with any kingdom) is the realm or sphere of influence of which the King operates. It was preached by John the Baptist (Matt.3:1-2) then Jesus (Mark 1:14-15) who gave it to his disciples to preach (Matt. 10:17). Our brethren of Protestant persuasion have a system applied to the Bible which is not compatible with the preaching of the Kingdom of God today. Therefore, they must relegate it to a dispensational, Jewish gospel that applied only prior to the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. However, Jesus spoke of things pertaining to it after His resurrection (Acts 1:3) Philipp preached it to the Samaritans who were not Jews (Acts 8:12) and Paul preached the Kingdom of God to the Gentiles (Acts 14:22; 19:8; 20:25; 28:23; 28:31, etc.).

GUIDE 32 WHY BAPTISTS ARE NOT PROTESTANTS!

People are usually put in one of three religious groups. If you are not a Jew or a Roman Catholic, then automatically you are a Protestant. Consequently, Baptists are usually called “Protestants.” However, this does not match the facts. Baptists never have been Protestants. by Dr. Vernon C. Lyons (4) Baptist Church History | Facebook

GUIDE 25 · THE BAPTIST LANDMARK” FORGOTTEN BAPTIST HERITAGE by M. A. BRAWNER

FORGOTTEN BAPTIST HERITAGE by M. A. Brawner “Let it also be noted that when Baptists entangle themselves with the teachings and practices of Protestant groups, they become “Baptist In Name Only”. What a people believe and practice defines what they are more than what is on the sign outside. So, a Baptist writing a history book, entangled in Protestantism, fails to make that a Baptist History book.” From the Baptist Landmark June 21, 2020 Forgotten Baptist Heritage (4) Baptist Church History | Facebook

“TEN AFFIRMATIONS CONCERNING OUR BAPTIST HERITAGE”

“TEN AFFIRMATIONS CONCERNING OUR BAPTIST HERITAGE”

Appendix B Ten Affirmations Concerning Our Baptist HeritagePage 262, “The Collegiate Baptist History Workbook”, by James R. Beller. Prairie Fire Press, Copyright 2002, Second Edition Copyright 2005, Third Printing 2006

1. Baptists are ancient, and our ancestry can be traced through the vital principles established and set forth by our Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples in New Testament churches.
2. Baptists are not “Protestants,” as our testimony extends much further in history than that of Martin Luther or John Calvin.
3. Baptists are not “Reformed” in theology or practice, for our view of the church could never allow the marriage of church and state.
4. Baptists are not “Calvinists,” for the doctrines of grace were believed and preached long before John Calvin preached in Geneva.
5. Baptists are not “Arminian” in theology, for our forefathers preached the Gospel with fervor long before the time of Jacob Arminius, and believed they were enabled by God to persevere.
6. Immersion was in common use among Baptists before 1641. We reject the 1641 theory of William Whitsitt and oppose the conclusions of Henry Veddar about baptism. We view as suspect the modern histories of Robert Baker, Leon McBeth, Walter Shurden, Robert G. Torbet, and James Edward McGoldrick as they submit to the thoroughly disproved theory of William Whitsitt.
7. Baptist heritage is far older than Fundamentalism*, (*Interdenominational Fundamentalism of the turn of the twentieth century) or the era of the city-wide revival campaigns, or the old Evangelical Alliance.
8. Because Baptists have suffered at the hands of Papists and Pedobaptistic Protestants alike, we ought to venerate and remember our historic testimony far above the testimony of persecuting enemies. That is, we ought to revere the testimony of the Paulicians, Peter de Bruys, Henry of Clugny, Balthasar Hubmaier, Henry D’anvers, John Clarke, Obadiah Holmes, Valentine Wightman, Isaac Backus, Shubal Stearns, Samuel Harris, John Leland, John Taylor, Isaac McCoy, et. al. These names should be more commonly known among Baptist than those of D.L Moody, Ira Sankey, R.A. Torey, Sam Jones, Gipsy Smith, John Wilbur Chapman or Billy Sunday.
9. Infant baptism is the badge of antichrist, and flirtation with the badge is akin to treason against God’s word.
10. Ignorance of Baptist heritage, which is so infectious in our pulpits and pews today, is dangerous and must be over come with a renewed teaching of our Baptist heritage and heroes of past generations.

Brother Beller was the most prolific Baptist historian of our generation. I highly recommend his many books on Baptist history such as America in Crimson Red, Sacred Betrayal, The Collegiate Baptist History Workbook, Soul of St. Louis, etc. Please visit his book store at: click below …http://www.prairiefirepress.com/collegiate-baptist-history-workbook.html?SID=6f97b8d1e79f068b27e15a58a7e39ffc
