Synopsis

Distinctive Principles of Baptists is a book written by James Madison Pendleton and originally published in 1882. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the beliefs and practices of Baptists, a Christian denomination that emphasizes the importance of adult baptism by immersion, the autonomy of the local church, and the priesthood of all believers. Pendleton explores the historical and theological roots of these distinctive principles, drawing on biblical texts and the writings of early Baptist leaders. He also addresses common misconceptions about Baptist beliefs and practices, such as the idea that Baptists reject infant baptism because they believe in a ""believer's baptism"" only. In addition to discussing the core principles of Baptist theology, Pendleton also examines the practical implications of these beliefs for the life of the church and for individual believers. He discusses topics such as church governance, the role of women in the church, and the relationship between church and state. Overall, Distinctive Principles of Baptists is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the beliefs and practices of one of the most widely recognized Christian denominations in the world. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about Baptist theology and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Baptists differ from -- other Christian denominations it may be well for me to say that in many things there is substantial agreement. As to the inspiration, and the consequent infallibility, of the word of God, there is no difference of opinion. The Bible Ls recognized as the supreme standard of faith and practice that is to say, it teaches us what to believe and what to do. Salvation by grace is a doctrine which commands the cordial assent of all Christians.
