Jude v3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Acts 16:4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.

I Tim 3: 15 But if I tarry long that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Did You know...

that True Historic Baptists are NOT Protestants?  This statement is contrary to the popular belief of most Protestants and many so-called Baptists.  The confusion lies in the lack of understanding in American society due to the dumbing down agenda by the educational system.  We have become so ignorant of the English language, doctrinal truth, and church history that most people don't even know the definition or the origin of the Protestants.  Most would answer that a Protestant is someone who is non - Catholic.  This answer is far from being remotely correct.

     Any student of church history knows that the Catholic church originated in the 4th century from the Roman emporer Constantine desiring a way to unite the empire.  He saw Christianity as that uniting force.  This new universal invisible church was a counterfeit of the local visible church that Jesus built in Jerusalem which spawned churches all over the Middle East and even into Europe by the end of the 1st century.  For centuries the true churches were at odds with this paganistic powerhouse that became known as the Catholic Church.  These two different churches had two vastly different schools of theology. The True Church was called by various names but recognizable by its doctrine.  The most historically documented difference in the two is the ordinance of baptism, while the true disagreement was salvation. 

     The True Church believed in a regenerate church membership - meaning that no one could join the church without having first been saved by the grace of God.  The True Church also believed in Believer's Baptism - meaning that only those who were saved were candidates of baptism.  The True Church also believed baptism was a church ordinance - only a church that had the God given authority was empowered to perform the ordinances.  The Catholic church was never accepted as one that originated from the Apostolic pattern of the New Testament. 

     The Catholic church practiced a form of baptismal regeneration and this baptism also placed one into the universal invisible church.  Therefore, the baptism of the Catholic church was viewed as invalid by the True Churches.  Whenever someone would want to join a church believing and practicing Apostolic doctrine; that church would question the salvation experience of the individual and require scriptural baptism according to the New Testament authority = The True Church.

     From the Catholic point of view they took this act as a rejection of their baptism.  This practice of "re-baptizing" people angered the Catholics.  Thus any Church who practiced this was labeled as an "Ana Baptist" which means a Re - Baptizer.  The "Ana" was later dropped and the name Baptist given to these Churches who were once known by various names, but always bitterly persecuted by the Catholic Church for questioning its authority and refusing to conform to its apsotacy.

     You may ask, what does all this have to do with Protestants?  We have laid the foundation, now lets build thereon.  For 11 centuries there were basically two churches in Christianity = the Catholic Church and the True Church later called Baptist by the former.  What is now known as the Reformation that began in the 14th century is often not understood in detail.  The subsequent churches that arose from this event all came out of the Catholic church.  Martin Luther who fathered the Lutheran church was a Catholic priest who came out of the universal invisible church because of disagreements.  John Calvan who originated the Presbyterian Church was also a Catholic.  He was influenced by his Baptist cousin Oliveton and other Baptists like Farrel and Lefevre.  The formation of the Church of England was the kings way of making his divorce acceptable by the church.  John Wesley who started Methodism was an Episcopalian.

     All of these "churches" that began during or because of the Reformation are called Protestant Churches because they all "Protested" from within the Catholic Church.  They never joined the "Re-baptizing" churches.  Each of these individuals started a new church with the assumption that their Catholic baptism (salvation) was valid.

     A True Historic Baptist is not and can not be a Protestant church.  Baptists churches did not come out of the Catholic church because they were never part of the Catholic church, but were always totally opposite in doctrine, faith, and practice.

   Although it is incorrect to say that Jesus started a Baptist church, it is evident that the kind of church Jesus started came to be known as a Baptist church.
