This is not a rare occurrence. A few years ago, Jared Longshore left a leading role with the Southern Baptist Founders Ministries to become a pedobaptist. It seems that the average Presbyterian, Anglican, or Orthodox congregation is full of former Baptist church members. Why are so many Baptists today leaving their denomination and abandoning their doctrinal beliefs? Baptist history gives us some insights into this issue and a solution to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the forefront, we need to realize this is a new issue. Throughout the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, untold multitudes joined the Baptists from other denominations. Former pedobaptists such as Adoniram Judson, Luther Rice, John Gano, N.M. Crawford, A.C. Dayton, and Stephen Ray became great leaders among the Baptists. During that same period, you can nearly count on one hand the significant Baptists who left for another denomination, it was so rare an occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today things have flip-flopped. Large numbers of our members and even preachers are leaving the Baptists. This begs the question, what changed? What was present in earlier centuries that is missing today? Some have contended that pedobaptist theologians are better today than they were in the past. Yet this is not the case, as earlier days had Archibald Alexander, Robert L. Dabney, A.A. Hodge, Charles Hodge, J.H. Thornwell, B.B. Warfield, etc. No, the difference is not among the pedobaptists but among the Baptists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings us to the root of the problem as well as the solution. Baptists are no longer teaching their doctrinal distinctives, nor are they aware of their spiritual heritage. Very little doctrinal preaching exists in our churches. Adding to this problem is the fact our own preachers no longer read old Baptist writers but instead devour the works of ancient and modern pedobaptists. This has been going on for several decades. It should not surprise us to see droves of Baptist church members leaving. We are reaping what we have sown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can we fix the problem? First, we must begin teaching Baptist distinctives in our churches. Here the words of J.N. Hall, founder of the West Kentucky Baptist Association, are helpful: \u201c\ud835\ude13\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude35 \ud835\ude26\ud835\ude37\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude3a \ud835\ude31\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude34\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude30 \ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude35 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude35 \ud835\ude22 \ud835\ude34\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude30\ud835\ude27 \ud835\ude26\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude35, \ud835\ude27\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude27\ud835\ude36\ud835\ude2d \ud835\ude25\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude24\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude2d \ud835\ude34\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude2e\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude31\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude24\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude25 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude3a\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude30 \ud835\ude29\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude31\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude31\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude26. \ud835\ude10\ud835\ude35 \ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude23\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude27\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude26\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude24\ud835\ude29 \ud835\ude31\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude30 \ud835\ude31\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude24\ud835\ude29 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude25\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude24\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude27\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude29\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude2e\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude27, \ud835\ude23\ud835\ude36\ud835\ude35 \ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude27 \ud835\ude29\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude24\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude35, \ud835\ude30\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude38\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude2d \ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude35, \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude2f \ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude35 \ud835\ude34\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2e\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude26\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude23\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude37\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude25 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude30 \ud835\ude25\ud835\ude30 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude38\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude2c. \ud835\ude10\ud835\ude35 \ud835\ude38\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude2d \ud835\ude23\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude34\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude28\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude28 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude30 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude24\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude36\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude26.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this was done years ago through sermon series, Bible institutes, conferences, fifth Sunday services, discipleship training, etc., it has largely gone by the wayside.
