Being Baptist explained in less than 1 minute. What do Baptists believe. Who are Baptists ? 

56 years and I have yet to see a Baptist church that will touch prophecy with a stick. There's no class to take people through the whole bible, because they don't believe the whole bible.. -no predestination -Jesus didn't descend into hell - the 3 heavens are some weird skyscraper - 2Thess 2 - salvation without "hearing" John 8:47 - magic words and a bath over 2Tim 3:15 - individual personal judgement day upon death "uncle Billy busted hell wide open" - that God doesn't destroy souls in hell, but heaven is a place of screaming and eternal human barbecue - That faith without works is not dead but rather "saved" (believe only) - 3 distinct Advents at 3 different times - that faith can be had without understanding (hearing) - That God hears everybody's prayer.Micah 3:4 Prov 38:9 Isa 59:1-2 - that God loves everybody. Ps 139:21 Amos 9:8 2Thess 2:10-11 - That it's God's house, but somehow they choose who is welcome or not based on kowtowing, not biblical accuracy. - and on and on and on... this is just on the surface

I'm a IFB but I reject the concept of secret rapture and I believe the 2nd coming of Christ is after the tribulation, before the wrath of God pours out(Post-Trib;Pre-Wrath)

@@roneldell5137new IFB….👍🏻

@@_familyMAN You can be post-trib without being NIFB.

I think dispensationalists are saved but confused.

How did the Jewish believe in person know that Isaiah and second chronicles were scripture 50 years before Christ?

Oh boy… here we go

Imagine my surprise to see a comment from you. Was just watching your video comparing the MEV and KJV the other day. Really enjoyed it!

Yeah maybe for some churches, our average time getting out Sunday mornings is around 12:45 one thing our pastor says alot is that it's not the Lords hour it's the Lords day and we didn't come to get out, we came to get in. And no our church doesn't get out early for football games either that's the least of our worries. It's hard to worship the Lord if all you have on your mind is sports.

Southern Baptist here and I use ESV, same goes for my Pastor.

​@@shadowperson779 RSV-CE 💪

I believe that the King James Version of the Bible is the perfectly preserved version of the Bible in English. I don't believe that randomly, it goes down to the manuscripts used and the translators. The King James Version was translated from a set of Greek manuscripts called the Textus Receptus (or Recieved Text) Other translation take away verses about core doctrines such as the Trinity as outlined in 1 John 5:6-8 and many other doctrines. The translators also were not only scholars of the Hebrew and Greek but they were native speakers. Many modern "translations" aren't real translations. They are just revisions of previous English translations. The single translator of The Living Bible did not know Hebrew or Greek AT ALL. And the famed English Standard Version isn't a real translation at all, it's just a revision of previous translation like the RSV with man's thoughts added in. The KJV is also the only Public Domain translation of the English Bible. This means that anyone can use I and nobody makes money off of it. The ESV is owned by Crossway, the NIV by Zondervan, and the NKJV by Nelson. The owners and proprietors make millions of dollars every year off of selling the Bible. It's not about vain tradition or personal preference, there are real historical, theological, and Biblical reasons why people use the KJV whether you agree with it or not. It's dishonest to go around calling people "supremacists" without understanding why they believe what they believe. I think the main this for you to do is to read and compare versions. Look at the KJV And don't take my word for anything, study it out for yourself Heavenly blessings❤

How can I meet you

Through the gospel

In what way do you not believe like them anymore?

My Mom and Dad's old church I used to visit, when I would stay with Grandma and Grandpa, and noticed that they did not clap after a special musical performance. They did not approve of it. That is wrong. “Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.” Matthew 10:10, KJV.

It depends on what you mean by "Baptist", most American Christians are Baptist, believing in the infallible Bible and believers baptism and the symbolic communion. Some baptists, usually calling themselves "fundamental" or "independent" pretend the the KJV is the best version, or the "only version". They are wrong. Some baptists are Cessationist, they believe the spiritual gifts don't exist anymore, they're wrong. Some believe in universal predestination, usually calling themselves primitive Baptist, they too are wrong.

They probably "did not clap", not because they didn't approve of the special, but because they hold to the belief that all glory is for God and not men. Our Church does the same❤

Not for salvation. Salvation is free and by grace, through faith. Good works are a result, not a means.@@brianparrott2313

The answer to this question is in the clip.

@@FBCROY That all scripture is "breathed by God," as Paul writes to Timothy, doesn't answer the question of which books are and are not scripture. For unity's sake I'm sincerely seeking to understand the position of other Christians. Can you please help me to understand from whence the Baptist's conviction comes that the 66 books and only the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are scripture.

I believe you will find that the early Christians collected the writings God intended for scripture, and that became the Bible. Other writings of Paul or others were fine and good, maybe, but were not God-breathed. Not inspired. Only scripture was, and the canon was established early on. @@colinpope368

​@@colinpope368the fact of the matter is that the books which became the Bible we're already circulating and accepted as scripture prior to any council, it was not the Catholic Church which assembled the bible, all they did was make it "official", regardless of the fact that all these books were already being used by churches. The only New testament books which were debated were ones that did not exist, such as the Gnostic Gospels. The Old testament books are still debated today, such as the newest ones (Maccabees, enoch etc.) even Esther was up for debate, so the Ethiopians took pretty much every OT book, the Catholics took some of the apocrypha, and the christians took the fewest books, just to be safe.

​@@colinpope368The new testament is only comprised of books penned by the apostles that were with Jesus as he lived and thouse vouched for by said apostles. Paul being the best example of the latter, having not known Jesus until after his resurrection and meeting him on the road to Damascus when the Lord charged him with preaching to the gentile. Paul is vouched for by Peter who preached to the Hebrew people

Why listen to the Pope when Matthew 23 8-12 ; Psalms 146:3 & Luke 21:8 exists?

@@WideAngleLuis There is zero in those verses that would suggest that Catholics shouldn't have a leader of their Church. Is there not a leader of your church? Maybe the lack of one central leader is why you've split into thousands of denominations? Which is clearly antithetical to the desires of Jesus (John 17:20-21) and Paul (1 Corinthians 1:10). It's really quite sad actually.

@@jacobrodriguez7771 I’m not a part of any church anymore. I came here because I’ve been interested in the way Baptists do things. Quite honestly a friend of mine who is Catholic is how I was motivated into doing my research on baptists. I feel that all authority should come from the Bible because it’s the inspired word of God. We can listen to leaders but where the line is drawn is when they make a name for themselves. Jesus wanted “Rabbis” (teachers) not someone who says it’s my way or the highway, especially people don’t apply Bible principles or bend the rules… Jesus also warns us of people like that. It’s why I still find it hard to even attend any denomination. Because most if not all do this some way or another. But I’m searching for one where I can be comfortable. I almost became a Catholic a few days ago but then I had to re evaluate that decision.

@@WideAngleLuis I backed out of becoming Catholic when I was supposed to too, it took a couple more years before I finally came into the Church. I think if you read the entire New Testament, in full context, its pretty clear that Jesus started an actual human institution, with real authority which he wants us to be a part of. I understand that that explanation alone leaves the door open for Protestantism or orthodoxy, fair enough. But Christianity is never presented as primarily an individual relationship thing, its always communal. The phrases "personal relationship with Jesus" or "accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior" (which are central to evangelical Protestantism) are not found anywhere in the entire Bible.

@@WideAngleLuis Hebrews 13:17 "Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you."

So in the primitive church nobody was getting saved and understood the gospel before there was a pope? Find one reference for me of a pope in the word of God.

Baptism is not a means of grace like you think. It is a step of obedience only for the Christians. It is a result, not a means of salvation. The Eucharist is a heresy of Rome. The Lord's supper is a symbol of Christ, but not literally his blood or flesh.

Like Paul said, everyone. The Septuagint and Gospels were way before crappy canonization by Jerome in 380. No one was given any authority to change scripture, very prideful of you to say that, just like Jerome.

What other authority would there be?

@@sonoftheking6520the authority of the church body which predates the bible and which assembled the book

Real bible believing baptists have left the southern baptist convention. They preach calvanism. Stick with the independent fundamental baptist churches

@@SomeGuy-rn9cg There several but would start with. There clearly is not a trinity or the concept of the trinity nowhere in the bible. No bible believing church can truly say they believe in a 3 person God. I have a very very good understanding of what the trinity is therefore can say that for sure. Second would be osas. That is clearly just like the lie told in the garden. If you sin against God you won't really die. Third there's not any mention of a pre-tribulation rapture in the bible anywhere. As a matter of fact if clearly tells us after the tribulation.

@@SomeGuy-rn9cg Not all churches believes in the trinity but to be honest most that don't accept the trinity are even worse than the Southern Baptist church. My perfered would be seven day advent or church of christ. Which both are trinitarian. I have a small group of friends that study and get together in worship. If you are wanting to know the truth I would really suggest comparing bible translation, but be careful most any more are biased towards the trinity. I prefer the King James. I use bible hud a lot. Try searching John 1:1 then verse 2. Most translation of verse 2 begins with "He" of course the He is referring to Jesus. Issue is the truth. Should that be he or not. That is complicated to get a non- biased understanding of this. Issue is obviously if "he" is correct then person is established. The trinity would have some sort of argument. The King James Bible uses "the same was in the beginning with God". Not establishing person yet. For good reason. I am not that good at explaining the reasons with pronouns and what is being talked about. I prefer straight to the point. John 1:1 Look up the meaning of Logos. That is the ancient Greek word that Word was translated from. You will easily see what Logos meant. Issue is you will also get what it became which complicates the search. You want to know what Logos meant before it became flesh. With that this will be easier. You will easily find Logos to mean divine reason. It can also mean: thought, idea, logic, wisdom, and my choice is plan. Therefore if you translation John 1:1 In the beginning was the plan the plan was with God the plan was God. It doesn't change the meaning not even a little. It remains exactly the same. But also makes better sense. Trinitarian and I was taught that Logos was a person with God. Issues with this is Logos had never been translated or understood as person before the Logos became fresh in John 1:14. From then on but not before. God alone had a plan from before the foundation of the world. The tells us that the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Was the plan. Jesus was the fulfillment of that plan. The question will be is Jesus a person that was with God. If so that will need to be shown. Because I was raised Trinitarian I know that is not possible. It has to be accepted as a mystery. It not so complicated. Read the account of the burning bush. Moses is told to tell them I AM THAT I AM. Which if you look up the meaning of this it means. I will become what I will become. I choose to be what I choose to be. The I is a true singular one. If God can choose to be what God chooses to be would this also mean God can choose to be three? That is the simple explanation. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. Not some person with God. If you have not heard the trinity is not negotiable. If you don't believe in what can't be proven then you really aren't a Christian? Go figure. I hope you study the scriptures and hold on to what is true. Don't just believe what I or someone else tells you. I am not perfect and as my wife tells me I am terrible at explaining things. I do jump around a lot. Know who we worship. Pray for me

@@SomeGuy-rn9cg No scripture tells us: The Lord thy God is not a trinity. But scripture does say: The Lord thy God is one. You will hear that the one here is plural. As in unity. But that doesn't have to mean three. It can also mean limitless. Which would describe God very well. Bottom line with the trinity is we can only explain what the trinity is not prove that it is. Sort of like Santa. I can tell you all about Santa but try to prove Santa. We are only told God is one. If God truly is Almighty God why would He need to be three?

@@andrewbrown9497 Why would God need prophets?

Listen, holier than thou, a “Baptist” simply believes that baptism is by immersion for believers only, which is exactly the scriptural position we adopt, therefore we are BAPTIST. Don’t make simple things complicated. Anyone reading the preserved word of God (KJV in English) will come to the conclusion that the faithful Christian’s (anabaptists) have had since the time of the apostles. Baptists practice water immersion for new converts. If you do that, you’re baptist too, whether you know it or not.

@Charlie4Christ lol, holier than thou? Me? No need to get in your feelings, my man. I simply said show me scripture where Jesus said be Baptist or whete Jesus created a religion called Baptist. The problem with false Prophets like yourself is that you believe half of what scripture says and make up the other half. Come back to Bible and just be Holy my lost "baptist" brother. Lol. People claim to love scripture but don't follow all of it. Like I said, give me the scripture otherwise be slow to anger sir. Lol

@Charlie4Christ an for the record I am not a Baptist. I don't claim a religion that is man made. I am what Jesus told me to be. That's a Disciple and Holy.

@@John_Guice and also we can’t just book chapter and verse everything There is no exact verse stating abortion is wrong but we know it to be through context clues and other parts of the Bible And the holy trinity is not explicitly stated in the Bible either

Accepting Christ as Savior. You can die immediately after doing so and you will be saved. If you live, you're commanded to do many things, such as baptism, communion, not abandoning the gathering (going to church) etc. But yes, according to the scriptures, placing your faith in Christ, accepting Him as your Savior, is the requirement. No work involved, but once you're saved there are things you're commanded to do.

@@SeanWinters Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us to accept Christ as your saviour and you will be saved if it did then why didn't you provide the passage that says so. In fact If this were true, King Agrippa would be a Christian, but even Agrippa knew better than that. Acts 26:27-28 "King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe." Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian." Even Agrippa knew, just believing didn't make him a Christian.

@@SeanWinters Im still waiting for that passage that says we are saved by faith only!!

@@SeanWinters Many people claim to have faith, but do not serve God. Some say they are not churchgoers, but they still have their faith. James 2:14 says “What use is it my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him?” This is a rhetorical question, because obviously the message is clear that unless he has works, his faith is dead." James 2:17 says that “Even so faith if it has no works, is dead being by itself” Faith must be accompanied by works in order to be an active living faith. A lot of people do not demonstrate any indicators that they have faith in God, even though they claim to have a “personal relationship” with Him. That is nothing more than a cop-out. Unless one is actively and diligently seeking to please God, they have no faith. Read Hebrews 11:6. James 2:20 says that faith without works is useless. I John also teaches that if we are claiming to be in fellowship with God, but do not practice the truth, we are liars. James 2:22 reads: “you see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected.” Faith is made complete which is what the meaning of "perfect" is in the Scriptures. In Hebrews 11 we have many examples of people of faith. One thing in common with all of them is they were accounted faithful by what they did, not by what they believed. James 2:24 reads: "You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone." James 2:26 reads in part: “… so also faith without works is dead.” Claiming to be faithful to God is just a waste of words unless you have the works to back up that claim. In our contemporary language, we can say “put up or shut up”. James 2:18 reads in part: “… show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” Many people claim to have faith in God, but their actions do not reflect a faith at all. Titus 1:16 hopefully will strike a chord here: “They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him.” Our faith is demonstrated by works. These works are given to us to do from God. Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."

Not necessarily, you seem to misunderstand. If you believe in believers baptism, odds are you are a Baptist. The question of charismatism is not vs baptists, most charismatics are in fact Baptist as well. Sometimes charismatics pretend that those who disagree with them are baptists, but the reality is those who disagree with them are called cessationists. Some Baptists are cessationist, but many are not, many Baptists are charismatic, and pretty much every charismatic is Baptist. So again, you are probably Baptist yourself, you just are not cessationist, you believe that the gifts of the Spirit still exist, much like many Baptists. This is exactly why non-denominational churches are growing, because it's these two groups essentially realizing they agree on most things.

@@SeanWinters Yes I believe in believers baptism, but I don't call myself a "Baptist". In fact believers baptism is not a "Baptist" distinctive, but is actually a Jewish practice found in the Holy Scriptures. The first one to practice believers baptism were Jews. Yes I agree that some Baptists are Charismatics.

Salvation is eternal. If a person is truly saved by God, then their salvation is certain. Sure. Permanent. Some pray a prayer, but have no faith. They repeat a line, but it is nothing to them. They are not born again. Just fake.

We take the Lord's supper which is described. The Catholics believe in it differently. It's part of works for the Catholic. They have a very large misunderstanding of all scriptures.

Well, those were not Christ's words. Read it in the King James Version, if you want a good English translation of his words.

If I hold two objects in my hands and say, "This in my left hand is me, and this in my right hand is you" do you find fault with that metaphor?

Jesus and Paul taught the exact same gospel.

@BaptistJoshua you couldn't be anymore wrong. And I suggest you re read your Mt Mk lk jn gospels because they are much different than Paul's gospel with a message that is not the same. I suggest you read your Bible re read acts specifically when paul tells Peter that Peter's gospel is no longer and Paul's gospel is how we are saved. There is a clear audience for both. I suggest you do research on the great transition in ACTS. I have no reason to lie or lead anyone a stray these are the words of jesus through Paul. Jesus taught he will die and raise because he is who he says he is. Paul says he died and raised for our sins clearly a different message

You were NOT recently saved. Salvation cannot be a thing from the past, as it is yet future. Matt 24:13 Rev 3:11 too. Nobody knows for sure who the righteous are until Christ reveals it. You're being lied to. We must "follow on" or we do not "know the Lord" Hos 6:3 John 8:31 Matt 7:23 Magic words and a bath doesn't cut it. 2Cor 13:5 🪓😡👍💯💯💯

Yes. Most likely.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Baptists do not teach that the Bible is ONLY preserved in the KJV. Knowledgeable Christians know it is preserved faithfully in the KJV, but also likely in other languages for other readers. But for English, I cannot think of another one, except perhaps the first Geneva Bible.

Mt 23:23* Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Lu 11:42* But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:19-20 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

From Etymonline *Pastor* late 14c. (mid-13c. as a surname), "shepherd, one who has care of a flock or herd" (a sense now obsolete), also figurative, "spiritual guide, shepherd of souls, a Christian minister or clergyman," from Old French , pastur "herdsman, shepherd" (12c.) and directly from Latin pastor "shepherd," from pastus, past participle of pascere "to lead to pasture, set to grazing, cause to eat," from PIE root *pa- "to feed; tend, guard, protect." Compare pasture.

As to the tribulation: “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.” 1 Thessalonians 5:9, 10, KJV.

Jeff, As stated in the clip Baptists believe the Bible plus nothing for our doctrine and Jesus plus nothing for salvation. These are in fact baptist distinctives. There is no claim in the clip that only Baptists believe in sola scriptura. If you’re gonna start explaining what Baptists believe you start with the most fundamental or core beliefs. Do other denominations also share these? Sure. Other denominations also share baptism of believers only by immersion too, think Pentecostals, calvary chapel etc. I don’t think anyone would say believers baptism isn’t a baptist distinctive because other denominations practice it too. There are many things I admire about my Protestant brothers you can find them here: ru-vid.com0olAbpDsO_M?si=diQfWaQ9bNI0OqKZ

Tis true

Bits and pieces of the bible at best

Then that name on the sign out front is a lie. Which is why I won't go to any "Baptist" churches in my area. Hard to find true Baptist churches.

I think that baptists should emphasize water baptism more, as commanded. They should have water ready at every service, as should they practice the Lords super often. Of course I believe in sola fide though these things are commanded

@@Mike_saved I am guessing the reason they do not have water ready at every service is because one of the Pastors is usually the baptizer, and he needs to know the person is truly born again, as Philip saw in the eunuch. To baptize someone without knowledge of their salvation would be wrong.

The mainstream "broad path" is headed for destruction. Matt 7 ain't nobody finding the narrow path because they stopped looking after some idiot told them they're saved.

You are incorrectly referring to the Council of Nicaea, but it is not correct to claim that they canonized anything there, for they did not. At best you can argue that they confirmed what already had long existed, because some were challenging the Bible. But Christians had already had the Bible.

@@BaptistJoshua The council of nicea had nothing too do with canonizing the Bible. Arius a gnostic heretic was preaching that Christ was a created being. Saint Spyridon performed a miracle proving the doctrine of the Holy trinity.

@@BaptistJoshua The canonical Christian Bible was formally established by Bishop Cyril of Jerusalem in 350 C.E., confirmed by the Council of Laodicea in 363 C.E., and later established by Athanasius of Alexandria in 367 C.E. In his Easter letter of 367 C.E.,

@@Unseen_warfare. I specifically stated that the Council did NOT canonize scripture. They only reaffirmed its contents.

@@BaptistJoshua I didn’t refer too the council of nicea, so your claim I incorrectly referred too it was pointless. I don’t even know why you brought it up.

*Bible *God. You made three mistakes.

So it's one of these guys..

​@BaptistJoshua what's my 3rd mistake?

@@aarondavis8652 Your third mistake was the most important mistake. You denied the accuracy of scripture, which is calling God a liar.

@@BaptistJoshua the Bible contains the word of God. It is not the word of God. It's not a spell book that will part the heavens by reading from it.

When God said that to Timothy through Paul he meant what he said “all scripture” which includes Paul’s epistles. “If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14‬:‭37‬ ‭ “And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭

If John the Baptist has a say in this matter, why did he say bring fruits worthy of repentance...help the poor? when the Baptist don't not that among the least of them in their communities?

Tell me what day is the 7th day? The earth evolved over millions of years not 7 days.

St John the Baptist’s father, the Righteous priest Zachariah was slain in the temple of Jerusalem for not revealing the whereabouts of the Baptist

Well...I haven't seen any Baptists flying into any buildings lately.

@@BaptistJoshua wrong religion buddy. That was the letter J religion that blamed it on Muslims and celebrated in NJ.

@@TheTrueMonotheist99 No. I saw the muhammedans celebrating in NJ. What you are referring to is a supposed story that came from an old woman who said she saw Js on a rooftop dancing in the distance.

@@TheTrueMonotheist99 I saw muhammedans dancing in NJ, just like 🍊 man said.

@@BaptistJoshua No video evidence for that first claim. The Israelis were later found out to be actual Mossad agents who were “recording the event” as one of them said on an interview.

What does that even mean?

No baptist church uses apocryphal books.

Wait, Are you sure?, baptist trace back their history to the 1st century with John the Baptist and his baptist disciples preparing the way of the Lord. They were the first organized group tasked with the great commission. This was before the cross and Resurrection, before Jesus was even baptized, they were already spreading the gospel and baptizing people when Jesus came to baptized. When Jesus and the disciples went to certain towns and cities, the town's people knew they were coming because the baptist disciples had already been there and told the town's people that Jesus coming. As far as church history goes. You can't get anymore historically biblically accurate than that. And all of what I said is directly in scripture. Catholics and orthodox traditions claiming to be first is false, Paul established churches all across Asia Minor, we have biblical proof that churches were founded and flourishing long before Catholicism and orthodox was even a thought in someone's mind. Again, all of that is biblical history. So which church history are you referring to exactly? Because like the gentlemen said, it's founded in the Bible, or nothing.

@@jtplumbing6592 Baptists are a byproduct of the protestant revolution. Only the Orthodox Church can track its history back to the apostles. You keep saying biblical history, but the Bible was not available for hundreds of years after pentecost.

@@jtplumbing6592how were they Baptist disciples?

@@jtplumbing6592John was called “Baptist” because he baptized people. Please don’t co-op the good man into your pagan heresies.

Simply look into the facts. The Bible WAS available after Pentecost. Roman Catholics came along a long time after Pentecost. Not until Constantine, at the very earliest, and that is really stretching it.@@triggered8556

God works through believers. The information present in the Bible is all we need in the end.
