Anabaptist History<\/a> – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANABAPTIST HISTORY<\/strong> By: Rex Duff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Early in 31 AD, the first Church was started when the Disciples believed and were Spirit empowered. It appears the first Church was not first Spirit empowered at Pentecost, but by Jesus in a room, 50 days before Pentecost (John 20:21-23). By the time of Pentecost, the first Church seems to have been stationed at Jerusalem. From this Church, new Churches were started, coming out of the first Church (Acts 9:31). Those that were saved were added to the local assembly, by being saved and Baptized (Acts 2:41). From Acts 15, we learn that James, the half-brother of Jesus, became the Pastor of the Church, located at Jerusalem. Why not one of the original 12, minus Judas? The answer seems to be that they were given over to spreading the gospel, not staying put in one place. They were more of the pioneer Missionaries, than of permanent Pastors. Also, the original Disciples faced certain death, shortly after the Resurrection. They were well known by the Jewish leadership, and had to keep on the move, or be put to death. In fact, James the Disciple is killed by the sword in Acts 12:1-3. These original Disciples were marked men. Early in Church history Saul of Tarsus is converted on the Damascus Road, (Acts 9) while going to kill Christians.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saul links up with the Church at Jerusalem in Acts 9:26-28, with the help of Barnabas, a disciple. Barnabas next goes to Antioch, and brings Saul to this Church. The Church at Antioch next sends Saul, to do some relief work with Barnabas, back to this poor Church at Jerusalem (Acts 11:25- 30; and Acts 12:25). Saul spent a whole year in this Church (Acts 11:26). Saul, whose name is later changed to Paul, goes on to become the greatest Missionary in Church history. Paul is sent to establish Churches under the authority of the local Church, which was at Antioch. Paul had been preaching up to this point, but could not start any Church without Church Authority. This is found in Acts 13:1-5. Man may establish all the fellowships, social groups, and \u201cso called\u201d Churches he wants, but only God, with His method, can establish true Churches. Throughout the first century, the Churches spread, the more they were persecuted. Paul, the greatest Missionary, started Gentile Churches, which led to the Gospel going into the entire World.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in Church history, man tried to pervert the gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). Man tried to teach works Salvation. (Ebionism) See also Acts 15:1-5,11. This is the problem even today, of those who teach you can lose your salvation. They are teaching works salvation! Later on, Gnosticism became a problem in the first Century Church (1 John 4:1-3). This false teaching, denied the humanity of Christ. This was the heresy that Menno Simmons was caught up in. The Bible calls him an Antichrist!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Heresy of the first Century was the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes (Revelation 2:6,15). It appears this group taught a hierarchy for the Churches, leading to Roman Catholic False Church. The Nicolaitanes were also a licentious sect. Another heresy was Balaamism. This was a merger of paganism and Christianity. See Revelation 2:20. This can even be seen today in fundamental Churches, that have been influenced by the Willo Creek Movement or (Purpose driven Church movement). Also, shortly after John finished the book of Revelation, (the end of the first Century) another Heresy came into the Churches. This was the belief of Baptismal Regeneration. Remission of sins became through the tub, not the blood. This was works Salvation all over again. Men who taught this heresy in the first few hundred years, were, Hermes, Barnabas, (not the N.T.one), Justin Martyr, Origen, Tertullian, Irenaeus, Cyprian, Hilary, Basil, Cyril, Gregory, and the famous Augustine. This heresy began the start of the pulling out of the true Churches. As Churches became Worldlier, and more false doctrine came in, more and more Churches withdrew fellowship from other Churches. The true Churches were called Anabaptist (Rebaptizer) Churches. They Baptized again, any person coming from a questionable group. They baptized again, any person Baptized before they were saved, or any person not properly baptized. This led to much hostility by the non-Anabaptist Churches.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
