9781331698739: Distinctive Principles of Baptists (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Exploring Baptist distinctive principles and practice A clear, argument‑driven look at baptism, church independence, and the Lord’s Supper. This edition presents a believer’s view on who may be baptized, how baptism should be performed, and why local churches govern communion.

The book builds a case for baptism by immersion, rooted in how baptism and discipleship are described in the New Testament. It also explains why Pedobaptist views are not accepted, and why believers are the proper subjects for baptism. Alongside this, it argues that each church is an independent body under Christ, responsible for maintaining the purity of its ordinances.



Readers will understand the connection between baptism, conversion, and the resurrection, as well as how church discipline guards the Lord’s Supper. The text emphasizes practical implications for church membership, interchurch relations, and the right to communion. It uses historical and scriptural reasoning to support these practices without relying on external authorities.




  • Arguments for believer baptism by immersion and rejection of infant baptism.

  • An explanation of why the commission to preach and baptize centers on faith and discipleship.

  • Discussions of church independence, discipline, and safeguarding the Lord’s Supper.

  • Reasoned answers to common Pedobaptist positions and a focus on practical church life.



Ideal for readers of Baptist history and distinctives, this edition suits anyone seeking a concise, principled overview of Baptist approach to baptism and church life.

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.
