History of The Baptist Church 

Time to repent and leave the Roman catholic church.

​@@jasonbourne5142and time to denounce the heretic teachings of Protestantism.

@@xtraordinairartist9469 they're biblical

@@jasonbourne5142 the RCC wrote the NT and gave the world the Bible. We alone have the God given authority to interpret sacred scripture.

​@xtraordinairartist9469 That's a lie . The Roman catholic church did not write the new testament that's a blatant lie. The rcc didn't come until 300 years later and then only persecuted the original church and murdered millions of Christian men , women and children along with bringing into the church pagan practices . This is the true history that the rcc tried to rewrite.

Time to repent on your particular view

@@jasonbourne5142 why do you say that? Do you just like to pot shots at people and run. You have given no reason for the comment. All I can assume is that you dont agree with my view. It is fine to disagree, but you have not given an argument, just an assertion.

Hello from Córdoba, Argentina!

You should join the First Church established by Jesus when he handed the Keys to Saint Peter . 🕊️✝️

​@@tylerkessler4021Yes, that would be the Baptist Church. Oh, you mean the Orthodox Church? Oh wait, don't tell me you mean the Roman heresy factory? 😂

​@@tylerkessler4021when did he do that?

Plus, you can fast forward to Luther and Calvin who both taught Baptismal Regeneration and practiced infant baptism.

Me too, so glad I started reading early Christian history to get me out of the Baptist church that was started by men.

Praise God for the truth of the Early Church, it still stands today despite people from within and outside of it that try to destroy it. It’s a miracle that the Apostolic Catholic Church is still standing .

From the layman's readings I've done on what you share, I would say what you say sounds reasonable.

Do you perform baptism?youre a baptist right?

I have an interest in the origins of phrases (eg. Invite Jesus into your heart...), practices (eg. altar call) and beliefs (eg. Once saved always saved), etc. If you have any research knowledge of such topics, I'd love to hear what you've found. I'm always looking for additional details, especially dates and names. Thanks.

@@billlee2194 I don't know, I am muslim, but I'm sure most baptist pastors would have no problem explaining the origins of those concepts, have a blessed day

@@myotheraccountissuspended921 I hope I am wrong but I would be surprised if any of them would have that information. If seems what I hear or read is merely them asserting such ideas or slogans. For example 'have you invited Jesus to be your personal Lord and Savior'? As much as I have been able to find, this particular slogan question arose from the Great Awakenings of the 18th & 19 centuries. It was possibly an outgrow and evolution of the Puritan movement after that group lost membership in the Church of England and it's ecclesial authority and sacraments. They turned inward in search o 'signs' that would show that they are among the elect. My understanding is the 1st Awakening theorized that such an approach was workable. The 2nd Awakenings the means were introduced which included the anxious bench and altar call. From there such slogan/questions as I cited arose. At least that's my understanding. One interesting thing about modern Protestant Christianity, especially in the more fundamental branches, is a lack of knowledge that their Reformers of the 16th C. would be considered Catholic by most of those congregations. That's because the Reformers practiced authoritative church polity and authority through the Sacraments believing those Sacraments to be normatively necessary for salvation and they had a strong veneration of Mary. That while today's Protestants I mentioned have separated salvation from the Sacraments and they tend to have a distain for Mary, which, of course, I understand the Muslim position on Mary is much closer to the Catholic view at least in honor. God bless

Baptism was a regular practice in ancient Israel prior to Christ’s appearance so wouldn’t believer’s baptism just be a continuation or extension of that practice?

@@emf49 No, because the Baptism of John is not the same thing as the Baptism of Jesus. They’re two different rituals that serve two different covenants. John admitted in all the Synoptics that they’d differ and St. Paul even clarified that they’re two different types of baptism (e.g. Ac. 19:1-7). Baptist theology just can’t get past John the Baptist on this issue.

@@j.sethfrazer hmm so what do you know about the baptism of Jesus? Gbu, brother.

1 peter 3:21 "and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ," this verse clearly says baptism (water) is a symbol of what saves us, (the baptism with the Holy Spirit in regeneration) so in effect is an "outward expression of an inward change". John the Baptist said " 'I baptize you with water. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. " this is why Baptists see John as they do, because he clearly stated another baptism was coming and it was not a baptism of water that would save. as for being regenerated by believing romans 10 says "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." a dead man cannot know he is "justified" unless he has been made alive (regenerated). yes we believe the Word is a "means" to get people to Jesus, but unless they actually believe, the gospel is just words. the reading and preaching does not "regenerate" or else everybody who hears it will be saved. you must hear the Word, accept it as true, which means you have put ur faith in Christ. no church or sacrament has ever saved anyone. Jesus alone saves. He can save anybody, anywhere, at anytime. a person who is alone on a deserted island can be saved as easily as a person in the grandest cathedral taking communion everyday.

@@caman171, Okay…let’s deal with the first text you used here. I suspect you are not reading St. Peter’s FULL statement here. Read verses 18-22 as a whole. It does not imply at all what you are saying it does. Also, it’s the NIV, among other mainline translations, which very uniquely translates ἀντίτυπον as “symbolizes.” Though even with that, your assertion here still remains unsupported. The term basically means “anti-type” in distinction from “type.” Peter is setting Holy Baptism up as the “anti-type” of an Old Testament “type” which would foreshadow the Sacrament: the Noachian flood. Therefore, Baptism is a fulfillment of the flood, not the exact same thing as the flood; a key principle of exegesis is that the New Testament “anti-type” is ALWAYS greater than the Old Testament “type.” So in context, no…1 Peter 3:21, the text which literally and bluntly states that “Baptism now saves you,” does not at all say that Baptism symbolizes something else. Rather, Baptism has a direct connection to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as the text says it does…and as St. Paul also says it does in Romans 6:1-7. How can Baptism, a mere expression of repentance from Essene Judaism that John the Baptizer put into practice as a way of paving the way for Jesus, “now save you”? Simple: “through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.”

What?

Finally, someone else has actually read their Bible and knows where the baptist originated from in the 1st century with John the Baptist and his baptist disciples. Tasked first with the great commission, before the cross and resurrection, before Jesus came to be baptized they were already spreading the gospel and baptizing people. They continued after Jesus ascended to the right hand of God. When Jesus and the dispelled went to Some cities and towns , the people said, we knew you were coming, John the Baptist and his disciples told us, this is literally biblical history of the the first group/christian church in scripture. I'm literally shocked this guy is a teacher of the Bible and is teaching future preachers and ministry workers thinking baptist came out of the reformation period. Such a shame 🤦No wonder there is so much division among baptist. So much confusion they are getting brainwashed with by teachers like this.

@@SisterBabyread the Bible and learn where baptist originated from.

​@jtplumbing6592 so you believe in the continuity garbage ??

​@@jtplumbing6592your response is that of every cult

The SBC did not reject the Nicene Creed, that's an embellishment.

I'd say that's probably true for many especially the more fundamentalist leaning thinkers. I grew up Baptist and research and even asking questions seemed to be discouraged. To be fair to those dear folks, they were mostly blue collar workers so keeping food on the table and going to church was as much as they had time for. Plus, we didn't have research ability we have today.

I've heard of the Seventh-Day Baptist.

I keep hearing about Baptist roots going back to the 1st C. Can anyone direct me to some primary sources from the 2nd C. farward? I've found a good number of primary source writings from those early centuries but not for Baptist. Thanks

You’ll find out quick that the Protestant “churches” were founded by some vainful men . The Catholic Church was started by Jesus and the 12 apostles. 🕊️

Abram has a tradition of Chaldean.. remember his from Ur and its on Babylon or modern day iraq now, and we all knew that Babylon has many dieties.. Including the moon god.. Yeah, Chaldeans are known as Moon worshippers, not the moon we saw on heaven, but The Moon god. Think, God said, I am the Lord your God, You shall not have no other gods before me... But ELOHIM or GOD is a council.. It consists of powerful dieties.. Like the Trinity. this gods exists and we call them angels today, and one of them is the Light bearer or Lucifer that considered by most as satan, which is wrong.. Satan and Lucifer isnt the same.. Theyre both Antagonist of the Bible, but If you know History, Archaeology, History, Antropology in short if youre WAKE in reality. You will know what im saying.

Incorrect. God commanded pedo circumcision from the very beginning even before Abraham himself was circumcised and then both Abraham and his 13 year old son Ishmael and all his male servants of every age down to 8 days old were circumcised on the same day.

Because the vatican does studies on saturday and rest on sunday. So then all the churches agreed and now idk

@@its_just_marvlus you're correct that it started with Satan and his 'church', the vatican. Christians still keep Holy the 7th day Sabbath - counterfeit's do not.

It was a way to separate the Christians from the Jews, we started meeting on Sundays because that's when the apostles met (on Easter) and in celebration of Easter we kept that tradition alive. You don't have to meet on Sunday, but generally speaking is best if you meet up as a church at least once a week.

@@SeanWinters Christians *Only* meet on the 7th day Sabbath - see Lev 23:3, Luke 4:16, Acts 17:2 this supposed 'change' was prophesied in Scripture and the evil system which did this, they even *Admit to it!* sorry, all Ten Commandments are equally important for all times - Jesus says so in Matt 5:19 and Luke 16:17 *Happy Sabbath!!!*

It is a mystery to me why all Baptists are not Seventh Day Baptists. I am not an official member of any church but I believe the Seventh Day Baptists have it right. When I was a teenager in a Southern Baptist Church I became convinced of the Sabbath. I had always been taught that theBible and only the Bible was the only authority for Baptist belief and practice yet we observed Sunday instead so that told me that we were not going strictly by the Bible as I was being told. None of the arguments for Sunday observation ever made any sense to me. Today I do not attend any church but I watch services on Saturday mornings from the Connecting Church in Milton, Wisconsin Wisconsin on RU-vid. As far as I know there is no Seventh Day Baptist Church within 1400 miles of where I live.

That's true. We all bring our own biases to an discussion.

Because there is no continuity

there is no such thing as receiving Jesus if he hasn't called you, the first move is always His, so we end up having so many people who claim to have received Jesus, whereas nothing has been first offered to them by Jesus so that they would accept it.

​@@rahelhorvat1471 So how do you know that He has called you?

I must read up on the trail of blood. I'm thinking I won't find any historical evidence before the Reformation.

Sorry this is 2 years late, but the Baptist are traced back to the first century with John the Baptist and the baptist disciples preparing the way of the Lord, they were tasked with the great commission first. This was before the cross and resurrection. Even before Jesus came to get baptized they were already spreading the gospel. They continued this after Jesus ascended to the right hand of God. This history is literally from scripture. I can't believe this guy is a teacher of the Bible and thinks baptist came of out of the reformation period. Such a shame🤦no wonder there is so much division among the boss it denomination.

The best answer to your question is the belief in baptismal regeneration and the real presence were handed down from Jesus to His Apostles and on to the early Christians. It's well documented in the early Christian writings especially the real presence. It's also in the NT but it must be read through the early church writings by the Apostles' disciples who still had the preaching of the Apostles ringing in their ears. Those writings are the best kept secret commentaries on Scripture.

@@billlee2194 it was a rhetorical question I already believe in it. My point was the earliest Christians were not Baptist like this lad claims they are

Actually, my answer was also rhetorical 😁. I knew where you were coming from.

Why is it driving you nuts ?

Exodus 20:3-5 (KJV 1900): Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God," Considering the passage above, please justify praying to Mary.

There is a term to describe changing the subject completely to avoid addressing the matter at hand :). I heard the term a few months ago but can't recall what it is. As far as praying to Mary, yes Catholics ask for her intersession, as the queen mother of the King with the type being king Salomon and his queen mother Basheba. Revelation 12:1 tells us Mary is in heaven and, from what Jesus told the two disciples who wanted to sit next to Him in His kingdom but Jesus said the places had already been decided, I can tell you, based on the fact the Basheba sat on a throne at the right hand of Salamon, my money is on Mary being seated at the right hand of her King Son. Add to that Revelation 5:8, we are told that the saints offer our prayers to God, therefore, we know they, including Mary, hear our prayers. We must also consider that the people under Salomon were said to go through his queen mother with their request, I think we can safely say the same is true in Mary's case. Wouldn't you want to honor your mother that way if she had given birth to you? Consider also that we have the bones of all the Apostles but Mary's tomb is empty. Should we be so surprised when we read that Enoch and Elijah were assumed into heaven. Is Jesus not capable of so honoring Us very own mother? Why is she so hated when her own Son honors her and when Revelation 12:17 tells us she is also our spiritual mother. I really think it is because the Protest has never ended. Therefore, anything the Catholic church teaches is rejected even if it's recorded in Scripture. That's unfortunate and sad. Still, the Church prays daily for unity with our separated brethren in Christ.

That's true. The Church was also influenced by pagan philosophy starting with the Apostles.

They're right, that's all.

Hahahaha. Pray for them. They're still trying to figure out what to do since Jack Hyles died

I suggest watching the history of the Waldenses.

Are you a Christian ? Speaking for myself , I have witnessed many miracles and healings my friend .

@@cecilspurlockjr.9421 You write: *"Are you a Christian? Speaking for myself , I have witnessed many miracles and healings my friend."* - Unlike so-called Christians, I confess that I am in sin and therefore cannot consider myself a Christian, a Christian is one who keeps the commandments of Christ. I am not saying that God does not work miracles. I too have witnessed miracles and healings. God has a personal relationship with each person, some have mercy and some are punished. If someone prays and repents of his sins, of course God will deliver that person from his sins and diseases. God is gracious to all who confess their sins, but what does this have to do with the Church of Christ? When we say that there are no miracles, we mean the miracles that accompanied the church of Christ in the first century. What can we know about the Church of Christ? What was she like? We know about the Church of Christ only what is known from the books of the New Testament. We do not know of any other Church of Christ outside the New Testament. What was the Church of Christ in the books of the New Testament? Certainly not symbolic and not invisible, but a strictly hierarchical organization consisting of believers baptized with the Holy Spirit, where the Gifts of the Holy Spirit were manifested. As written: *"Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."* (1 Corinthians 12:27-28). This was the Church of Christ in the first century, but for 2000 years we no longer see such a Church of Christ, there are no Apostles, no prophets, no one has miraculous powers and gifts of healing. But we see gatherings of people headed only by teachers speaking in the name of Christ, but not having the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said: *"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover"* (Mark 16:17-18). There we also read: *"So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following"* (Mark 16:19-20). I would like to draw your attention to these words: *"the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following".* that is, miracles reinforce the word of God and they are important for the preaching of the teachings of Jesus. For 2000 years, including our time, we have not seen any believers who have accompanied or are accompanying these signs. But in the books of the New Testament we read that in the first century, believers performed many miracles. As written: *“And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people”* (Acts 6:8). *“Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them”* (Acts 15:12). *"Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city"* (Acts 8:5-8). Where are Stephanes, Barnabas, Pauls in our time? Where is Philip, who brings great joy to the cities? In which church do the blind gain sight? Where are the lame and bedridden jumping for the joy of being healed? Where are demons cast out? Where are the dead raised? Where are the Prophets? Where do they lay hands on the sick and get rid of sickness? Such miracles are not performed in any church, anywhere in the world. Jesus said: *“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”* (John 14:12). But where are these believers now doing the works of Jesus and even more than Jesus himself did? The Church of Christ was destroyed in the first century and for 2000 years false churches appear that claim to be the Church of Christ but do not have the testimony of God, that is, miracles. It was by miracles that God testified about the Church of Christ, just as he testified about Jesus. As written: *“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:”* (Acts 2:22). God testified about Jesus, and then about the Church of Christ by miracles. But the Church of Christ was destroyed in the same way as Christ was killed in due time, and therefore the signs and wonders that accompanied the Church ceased, and now She has been buried for 2000 years, but will rise in the last days as Jesus rose again. The prophecy of the death and resurrection of the Church is present in the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13). "Revelation" also prophesies about the emergence of the Church: *“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:”* (Revelation 12:1). The emergence of the Church will just be a great sign of the imminent Coming of Christ.

Wrong assumption here. A little more research will prove that the church has never disappeared it developed from a small seed unto a large tree as Jesus indicated. For one thousand years one church with a bit of a misunderstanding at Calcidon. Then the great schism and the Bishop of Rome's emissary excommunicated the east because they refused him being anything but the first among equals . And the secession of Bishops from ancient times until the present still exist. And produces saints and produces miracles not of showmanship but by the sovereignty of God. Things happen. It's not a magic show but things happen. Holy orthodoxy. I didn't take 1600 years or 1900 years for Jesus' Church to appear. The words of Jesus whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven...do you think he lied..when he said whatsoever? Low I am with you. Or I will not leave you; he shall lead you into ALL TRUTH... did he lie. Did St.Timothy ordain elders. Did St. Paul give the qualifications for Bishop. Did all the church history end with the Book of the Acts of the Apostles? I shall build my church 1800 years from now..the lives of the saints in the synaxariun are filled with miracles. And lives of heroic vertue . Holy orthodoxy apostolic/ universal catholic church..the way first called Christian at Antioch..the patriarch John x is alive in Damascus Syria 🇸🇾 . The patriarchates Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandra Egypt, Constantinople in turkey 🇹🇷 still stand. Read the pre Nicean fathers who knew Paul,Peter,John . Seek and you will find..

That's so funny, I forgot to laugh.

It wasn't a joke; just a statement of truth 🤷🏼‍♂️😆

Hah!

Especially in Kentucky 😂😂😂😂

The gospel, which appears to be a little secular story, is truly a mystery to be known only by revelation. In the 16th chapter of John we are told: “I came out from the Father and came into the world. Again I leave the world and I return to the Father.” In these four short phrases we find the pre-existence of Christ, his incarnation, his death, and his ascension. I could put this in the first person, plural sense and say: “We came out from the Father” for we are told in the 1st chapter of Ephesians: “He chose us in him before the foundation of the world.” So all of us were chosen in him. That is why I can say, “We came out from the Father and came into the world. Again we are leaving the world and are going to the Father.”

Jesus got baptized, by immersion, by John the Baptist, who recognized Him as the Savior

​@sird2333 I was about to say the same. "Baptist" is the only "denomination" you will actually see in the Bible. What I think alot of people misunderstand about Baptist is we are not protestants, because we never reformed out of the Catholoc church, because any Church that looks to the Bible for all matter concerning belief and practice will be "baptist". Which is a name levied on Bible believers by other churches that consistently persecuted them. I think if Baptists could just go by "christian" that would be more appropriate, but every church and cult believes themselves to be Christian. "Baptist" is appropriate because although we belong to the church that Jesus started, just as Christians submit themselves to Christ in baptism, Jesus submitted Himself to the spiritual authority of His day, John the Baptist. So the name is appropriate.

Paedobaptist... OIKOS covenant

From my long experience with the Baptist church, full of lovely and sincere people, their theology does not contain a robust or healthy understanding concerning marriage. They hope your first marriage will work but, if it doesn't, maybe your second, third or fourth one will. They will generally just keep marrying divorced couples whether it sticks or not. I really believe their understanding of divorce, adultery and remarriage is that each sin can be forgiven so they are free to continue living with another man's wife disregarding Jesus' words to the woman caught in adultery...go and sin no more.

@@adamduarte895 Apostolic succession was not controversal until the Protestant Reformation. Provide me evidence. I guess there was there was apostasy for 1500 years.

No I’m not saying that. I’m saying the magisterium arose within a specific context of history. It’s not a necessary part of Christian doctrine but made sense for that time (possibly). Additionally, the Word is clear in Acts about the priesthood of all believers as being set apart by the work of the Holy Spirit and that thus authority is given to the entire body not a select group of bishops or pontiffs. Secondly, 2 Timothy makes clear that the Scriptures themself have special authority and are God-breathed. The problem with Apostolic Succession is that it itself gives itself infallible authority close to Scripture which man cannot rise to that authority

@@adamduarte895 yes but the Apostle were making leaders in their place which formed leadership outside of Judah which became bishop, presbyter, deacons

Catholics can't. It's obvious you don't understand what an apostle is

I don't spit on them , I love them and want them to come to CHRIST and be saved . Are you saved my friend ?

@@cecilspurlockjr.9421 if i m saved? ...i ll know when i get to the judgment day like everyone else.

@@Schtroumpsolis you don't believe what CHRIST says in scripture my friend ? CHRIST said that HE has done the things HE has done so that we may have assurance . I believe HIM , HE'S GOD after all you know .

@@cecilspurlockjr.9421 of course he is, before thinking im saved there are lot of things to do. actions are no less important. following the commandment to the end of our lives is key. i dont beleive once saved always saved. the story of the seeds falling on the road side proof that. king david also proves that. we need to do good to the end or we may loose everything

@@Schtroumpsolis I believe as long as one believes in CHRIST as their SAVIOR they're saved . If someone is truly saved by THE HOLY SPIRIT and regenerated , born again , then I don't see how they could stop believing . I know I couldn't stop believing and trusting in CHRIST because I actually know HIM I've known HIM for 43 years and never once have I had a doubt because GOD has kept me just like HE said HE would and I know HE will keep me from now own . I believed CHRIST when HE said I could have assurance . Have you ever studied scripture ? I have for over 40 years my friend and I know I'm saved and I know my salvation will not be lost . Read Roman's 4 : 5 and then come back and tell me that you've learned something my friend . Don't come back talking about working for salvation because it's a lie . I believe CHRIST and HIS word and it says plainly salvation is not of works but it also says being a GODLY man is of works and I believe that's where your confusion lays .

So much wrong with this generalized anecdotal slander.

@@Michael_Chandler_Keaton whether you like to hear it or not...it happens. It is pretty bad....SBC in a lot of areas still won't married interracial people.

Where did you go down south and why would you label the entire south as racist because some people were mean to you when you went to a Bible school one time ? Shame on you .

@@cecilspurlockjr.9421Parents are from there. My grandfather was running from the KKK when he relocated to the NE. We toook yearly trips to FL because my Dad has family still there. Did not change much....no matter what you say it is true.

@@PSUJerseyGirl we have no problem with all that crap in Mississippi, at least in the southern part where I live . Whether you like it or not my friend . GOD bless

What???
