The Baptist Flag originated in the heart and mind of Dr. D.L. Green, pastor of the Parker Memorial Baptist Church in Lansing, Michigan. Desiring a flag with which to identify, yet reluctant to embrace the Christian Flag because of its adoption by a broad scope of religious groups which have blurred its distinctiveness, Dr. Green set out to design a flag which would be attractive in appearance and distinct in its message. After sketching a variety of designs and rejecting them as insufficient to express his thoughts, Dr. Green settled on the theme &#8220;The Tie That Binds.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With this thought in mind, Dr. Green soon developed a flag that embodied the three-fold cord which binds together the Baptists around the world. As Baptists, we hold to THE BOOK, the inspired Word of God, as our rule for faith and practice; THE BLOOD by Christ for the remission of sin; and THE BLESSED HOPE of the return of Christ to unite us together in Heaven with Him for all eternity. The colors are also symbolic and significant in their message. Red is symbolic of the blood of Jesus Christ by which we are redeemed, and white for His purity and the robe of righteousness of the saints.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221; &#8216;&#8230;and having done all, to stand.&#8217; Ephesians 6:13 Of equal importance to Dr. Green is the desire to leave to those who follow a legacy of uncompromising truth and unwavering obedience to the commands of the Scripture in the midst of a day of fallen heroes. Out of this desire came the concept of a flag with which one could be identified without fear of compromise or misunderstanding. The purpose of this flag is that those who see it may know where we stand and by the grace of Almighty God that they may come and stand with us.&#8221; Presented by Thomas E.

Andres and L.R. Conradi, History of the Sabbath. P. 581-582The old Waldensian liturgy which they used in their services down through the centuries contained \u201ctexts of Scripture of the ancient Version called the Italick\u201d (Peter Allix, Ancient Christian Churches of the Piedmont, P.37).\u201cThe Reformers held that the Waldensian Church was formed about 120 A.D., from which date on, they passed down from father to son the teachings they received from the apostles.\u201d Ibid, P. 177.There was a long and bitter struggle between the Bible of the British Christians and the Bible which was brought later to England by the missionaries of Rome. And as there were really only two Bibles, the official version of Rome, and the Received Text. We may safely conclude that the Gallic (or French), as well as the Celtic (or British), were translations based on the Received Text (David Otis Fuller, Which Bible? P. 203) Prepared by Thomas E.
