Dreaming big dreams; fueling for change
“THE BAPTISTS”• ORIGINATED IN ENGLAND, EARLY IN THE 17TH CENTURY IN A TIME OF INTENSE
RELIGIOUS REFORM. LARGELY A PURITAN MOVEMENT AS THEY INSISTED ON “PURITY” OF DOCTRINE AND PRACTICES WITHIN THE CHURCH
• THEY SOUGHT TO RECOVER AND PROCLAIM THE FAITH OF THE NEW TESTAMENT AS FIRST GIVEN BY JESUS AND HIS APOSTLES
• GREAT REFORMERS MARTIN LUTHER IN GERMANY AND JOHN CALVIN IN GENEVA CREATED AN ENVIRONMENT DEMANDING REFORM
• NEW TRANSLATIONS OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE ALLOWED COMMON PEOPLE TO READ THE WORD OF GOD

WHAT DO BAPTIST BELIEVE?
BAPTIST DISTINCTION:
PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER – MEANS THAT WE HAVE NO INTERMEDIATE AUTHORITY BETWEEN US AND GOD. BAPTIST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO MAN OR CHURCH AUTHORITY
THAT ONE MUST GO THROUGH TO FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.
WE CAN GO DIRECTLY TO GOD WITH OUR PETITIONS AND PRAYERS AND HE MAY MAKE HIS WILL KNOWN DIRECTLY TO US.

1ST PETER 2:5,9
